ABSTRACT
There are situations when a person interacts with another person to arrive at a decision. For instance, a private investor meets in a bank with a financial advisor because he or she wants to invest money. Or a patient in a hospital has to choose whether to undergo surgery or chemical therapy, or do nothing, and discusses the situation with a doctor. We call these situations dyadic decision situations. We focus on situations where there is some legal responsibility and a special relation between the client, who formally has to make and sign the decision, and the advisor, who is to help the client make a decision by making a recommendation on which option to choose. 1
