Decision processes may be completed individually or coordinated by groups of people. Unstructured group decision making have its very own dynamics which are different than the processes completed individually. This thesis aims to extend the accumulation of knowledge on group decision processes. An experiment with three setting will be used to reveal advice utilization and confidence characteristics in a group receiving advice. All of the settings are composed of an individual decision making step and a group decision making step as a group of three. The same set of twenty general knowledge questions on a wide range of topics will be answered on both steps and for all Settings. On Setting 1, the participants will receive no advice on neither individual nor group decision making steps. On Setting 2, the participants will receive advice for only group decision making step. And on Setting 3 the participants will receive advice for only individual decision making step.

Dynamical aspects of decision making under uncertainty
Taşkın, Kemal; Gökçay, Didem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2016)
Decision making is defined as the mental process of choosing among a set of alternatives. Although several aspects of decision making have been investigated so far in cognitive science, dynamics of this process as a whole remained to be studied in detail. In this context, we investigated the effects of consecutive decisions on the current decision in a decision making task under uncertainty. In the attempt of elaborating these effects, we analyzed responses of participants to risky choices in two experiment...
A New pairwise comparison scale for analytic hierarchy pprocess
Yıldırım, Boğaç Can; Karakaya, Gülşah; Gönül, M. Sinan; Department of Business Administration (2019)
One of the most significant difficulties in daily life or business decision problems is that they often involve multiple criteria, alternatives and/or stakeholders. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the most widely used multi-criteria decision making tools in such problems. Despite its wide acceptance due to its systematic and simple procedure, AHP has limitations especially in terms of the numerical comparison scale used in one of its core steps: Pairwise comparisons. AHP is based on verbal compar...
Issues in selecting a representative set for multi-objective integer programs
Özarık, Sami Serkan; Lokman, Banu; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2017)
Multi-objective Integer Programs (MOIPs) have many areas of application in real life since it allows the decision makers to consider conflicting objectives simultaneously. However, the optimal solution is not unique for MOIPs and the number of nondominated points of multi-objective integer programs increases exponentially with the problem size. Therefore, finding all nondominated points is computationally hard and not practical for the decision maker. Instead of generating all nondominated points, it is rea...
Mapping Uncertainty for Risk and Opportunity Assessment in Projects
Qazi, Abroon; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Informa UK Limited, 2019-01-01)
Risk management is deemed as a critical process toward achieving the objectives of any project. A number of tools and techniques have been developed to help project managers reduce the risk involved in complex projects as risk is generally perceived as a negative event. However, uncertainty, which may lead to risk events may well result in opportunities. With the main aim of managing both risk and opportunity within an interdependent setting of interacting project uncertainties, we present a new thinking, c...
Interactive and nonparametric modeling of preferences on an ordinal scale using small data
Erişkin, Levent; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2014)
In this study, we consider learning preference structure of a Decision Maker (DM). Many preference modeling problems in a variety of fields such as marketing, quality control and economics, involve possibly interacting criteria, and an ordinal scale is used to express preference of objects. In these cases, typically underlying preference structure of the DM and distribution of criteria values are not known, and only a few data can be collected about the preferences of the DM. For developing a preference mod...
