Age 18 to 20 Lesson A11 – Automatic Decision Behaviors
Do the following descriptions of decision-making seem familiar?
Making quick decisions when reflection is needed—like hastily agreeing to a roommate’s suggestion without considering how it affects your plans.
Letting emotions guide choices—such as skipping a social event due to temporary irritation or sadness.
Relying on general rules instead of situational analysis—like assuming the closest parking spot is always the best option.
The video lesson includes the following topics and lesson objectives:
