Understanding the Determinants of Parental Decision-Making and Harsh Parenting Behavior
… in part because of lack of understanding of the decision-making processes underlying the behavior. In an effort to incorporate tradition decision making methodology, I designed a between subjects, single-blind, randomized experiment. The experimental manipulations were design to induced emotional …

Threat Assessment and Proactive Decision-Making for Crash Avoidance in Autonomous Vehicles
… encountered in autonomous vehicles' safe decision-making. Predicting a threat in advance can give an autonomous vehicle enough time to avoid crashes or near crash situations. Most vehicles on roads are human-driven, making it challenging to predict their intentions and movements due to …

VDDM: A Value-Driven Decision Model to Augment Value-Focused Thinking Methodology
<p>Decision-making is a fundamental human behavior. Most scientific research on Decision-making focuses on alternatives: their evaluation, the psychological mechanisms framing the evaluation, and the dynamics of human interaction around alternatives. Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) offers a paradigm …
