Peer-report measure of decision-making style

  • 1.  Peer-report measure of decision-making style

    Posted 11-10-2008 13:10

    Hi Brad

     

    A colleague of mine here at Birkbeck, Chris Dewberry, has developed a measure called the decision-making style and self-regulation assessor (DASA).  Based on a combination of self-regulation and decision-making theory, it measures three main areas: proactive cognition (which includes dimensions such as decision-making confidence, and creating novel options when confronting choices), choice-related variables (such as spontaneous decision-making, intuitive decision-making, and the allocation of cognitive resources when faced with trivial versus important choices), and the efficient implementation of decisions (which includes procrastination and perseveration).  The measure has been developed over a three year period and is psychometrically sound.  The final version has been normed on over 2,000 people.  It will be available online in January with a full manual and automated narrative feedback.

     

    Part of the manual (a section from Chapter 5) is included here.  Please contact Chris at (c.dewberry@bbk.ac.uk) if you would like more information.  I'm not sure if it can be used for peer reports or not but it sounds like the sort of thing you're looking for.

     

    Best wishes

    I'm looking for a measure of decision-making style, preferably one that employees can use to assess the decision-making style of their leader/supervisor.

     

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Brad
