Summary: Expert athletes show a determination to make faster and better decisions. In this study, male athletes with different expertise levels were examined to understand how decision time and confidence depend on the type of embodied choices they make. The results suggest that elite players make better choices but at a slower pace, indicating a focus on accuracy rather than speed. These findings contribute to the understanding of decision-making in expert athletes and provide insights for future experiments.

Summary: This study investigated factors related to decision-making support provided by healthcare professionals in cancer care. The results showed that a majority of patients made a treatment decision within one week, but a significant number of patients faced difficulties in decision-making. To improve the quality of decision-making support, interprofessional work should be promoted and screening tools to identify those who need support should be established.

Summary: The study finds that young children exhibit systematic exploration behavior, despite their underdeveloped cognitive control, and uncertainty plays a significant but intricate role in shaping their choices. While immature top-down control in young children may hinder adult-like systematic exploration, other mechanisms may compensate for this deficiency, facilitating broad information gathering systematically to build a knowledge foundation for later in life.

Summary: During adolescence, peer influence on group decision-making can lead to either increased risk-seeking or risk aversion. This study found that adolescents were more risk averse towards money problems in individual decision-making, but were more risk seeking for life problems in group decision-making. Additionally, adolescents tended to use a strategy of one person putting forward an idea followed by agreement from others, while adults tended to vote.

Summary: The traditional focus in moral decision-making research has been on understanding why people choose utilitarian or deontological options. However, this study suggests that people often seek advice from others when faced with these options, and when providing advice, they tend to recommend deontological options more frequently.

Summary: This study explores the perspectives of transgender adolescents, their parents, and clinicians on the medical decision-making competence (MDC) to start puberty suppression (PS). The findings suggest that assessing MDC is challenging, but understanding, appreciating, reasoning, and communicating a choice are important criteria. While most participants believe understanding and appreciating PS is important for MDC, they also acknowledge that adolescents may not fully comprehend the consequences. Parental support is considered essential in the decision-making process, and clinicians find it difficult to assess and implement MDC consistently.

Summary: Adolescents show an increase in risky behaviors, and this is related to their developmental changes in learning and decision-making processes. Adolescents exhibit suboptimal performance in learning and choice processes, characterized by inefficient expectation-updating and stochastic choice policies. Moreover, they tend to overvalue high rewards compared to adults. Some adolescents also employ a gambler's fallacy strategy instead of experience-based learning.

Summary: The paper argues that in some cases individuals who make decisions that appear seriously harmful to themselves should be judged as incapable of making that decision. It challenges the internalist perspective that decision-making competence should be assessed solely based on cognitive abilities, emphasizing the importance of considering the outcomes of decision-making processes in assessments of competence.

Summary: The level of patient involvement in medical specialist consultations is influenced by the type of decision being made and the duration of the consultation. Patients are most involved in treatment decisions and least involved in other types of decisions. It is recommended that physicians assist patients in participating in different types of decisions and allow sufficient time for shared decision-making.

Summary: Educational programs are commonly used to reduce risky driving behaviors, with the success determined by the content and delivery mode. A study compared the impact of fear versus positively framed road safety films, as well as traditional (2D) versus emerging technologies (VR) on young drivers. The study found that positively framed films, especially in VR format, significantly decreased risky driving behaviors, while fear appeal films in VR format failed to reduce risky driving behaviors and even increased them.

Summary: Higher perceived dominance leads to greater perceived risk-taking willingness, with varying effects across different domains. Gender differences were found, with women perceived as less likely to take financial or recreational risks but equally likely in social risks compared to men. The assumption that perceived optimism and competence mediate the effect of facial dominance on perceived risk-preferences was not supported.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic posed risks to health and financial wellbeing, leading to both prosocial and dishonest behaviors. Research found that higher perceptions of health risk were associated with lying to obtain vaccines, while the relationship between financial risk perceptions and lying for furlough payments was not significant. Additionally, the probability of dishonesty being detected negatively influenced dishonest behavior. Dishonesty was consistently evident in approximately one-third of the samples, and older age was associated with greater dishonesty. These findings have implications for policymakers in deterring and detecting dishonest behaviors during similar crises.

Summary: The question of whether competition affects moral behavior has long been debated. Experimental studies have yielded inconclusive results, partly due to design heterogeneity. To investigate this further, independent research teams were invited to contribute experimental designs to a crowd-sourced project. The meta-analysis of the data collected showed a small adverse effect of competition on moral behavior, and also highlighted the substantial design heterogeneity, indicating the limitations of drawing strong conclusions from a single experimental design.

Summary: Fake websites cause significant financial and psychological damage to global consumers, resulting in billions of dollars in losses each year. However, there is limited empirical data on why some consumers fall for fake websites while others are immune. Through nine studies, we found that analytical reasoning enhances the ability to distinguish real and fake consumer websites. This effect was observed in both convenience and representative samples, with expertise acting as a boundary condition. Experimental manipulation of time pressure and cognitive processes further supported this hypothesis. Additionally, we demonstrated that the link between analytical reasoning and discriminability is driven by memory recall. These findings suggest that analytical reasoning can help individuals protect themselves from Internet fraud.

Summary: Using a mix-method design, this study explores participants' willingness to respond to mass marketing scams (MMS). Age and letter style were found to have an impact on the intention to respond. Additionally, perceived risk and education level were identified as significant factors influencing the intention to respond. The presence of an activation fee decreased intent to contact, but a substantial percentage of participants still showed a willingness to respond.

Summary: This study found that two brief interventions based on clear definitions of good driving and hazard perception tests can effectively reduce young drivers' optimism bias, with hazard perception having the strongest effect. Additionally, the effectiveness of the interventions also depends on the individuals' sensation-seeking and past risky driving tendencies.
