Society for Judgment and Decision Making
- Society for Judgment and Decision Making
The Society for Judgment and Decision Making is an interdisciplinary academic organization dedicated to the study of normative, descriptive, and prescriptive theories of decision. Its members include psychologists, economists, organizational researchers, decision analysts, and other decision researchers. The Society's primary event is its Annual Meeting at which Society members present their research. It also publishes the journal Judgment and Decision Making.
Membership
The society has about 1,000 members. Dues are relatively low, especially for students. Although meetings have always been in North America, the membership is international. The President and some of the Executive Board are chosen by approval voting.
History
The society was founded in 1980 by James Shanteau and several others, as a way of bringing together researchers who study human judgments and decisions from different perspectives.
Conference
The annual conference has been held every year in conjunction with the meeting of the Psychonomic Society, now overlapping by two days, in early November.
Publications and journal
The Society has published a book series, first in cooperation with Cambridge University Press and now in cooperation with Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. It also publishes an open-access on-line journal called Judgment and Decision Making, as of July 2007.
