Abstract
- This paper throws doubt on the direct relationship between the difficulty of a decision problem and decision time. A formal theory is proposed, hypothesizing that decision makers take longer to choose from four alternatives when two of the alternatives are easily rejected than when all four alternatives are equal. The results of laboratory experiments support this hypothesis, and suggest that decision behavior is related to personality factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
