Which of the following statements is true of the decision-making model?


A. It enables one to avoid making decisions.

B. It takes a hesitant approach to making decisions.

C. It strives to avoid getting caught up in emotion.

D. It strives for a high level of emotion in the process.

my answer is C.

In US government, A is very true for many models.

B is true for complex decisions, and the tradeoff is always the cost of time delaying decisions (...until we have better info or such)
C is also true in many models, however I assure you, a separate flag waving crowd will offer cheers and boos all along.
D is wrong
In child guidance decisions, I agree with you, C is the best choice

I like Bob's reply.

My issue with this question is that we at Jiskha don't know what is included in "the decision-making model" you refer to.

I assumed the systems analysis model, (also called Operational Analysis or Systems Approach)>

To determine the correct answer, let's break down each statement and evaluate it against the decision-making model.

A. It enables one to avoid making decisions.
The decision-making model is a framework or process that assists individuals in making informed decisions. It does not aim to avoid decision-making, but rather to guide individuals in making effective choices. Therefore, statement A is incorrect.

B. It takes a hesitant approach to making decisions.
While the decision-making model encourages thorough analysis and consideration of options, it does not promote hesitancy. The model emphasizes gathering relevant information, evaluating alternatives, and making confident decisions. Thus, statement B is incorrect.

C. It strives to avoid getting caught up in emotion.
This statement accurately describes the decision-making model. The model encourages individuals to set aside personal biases and emotional influences when making decisions. It supports rational thinking by focusing on facts, logical reasoning, and objective considerations. Therefore, statement C is correct.

D. It strives for a high level of emotion in the process.
This statement contradicts the purpose of the decision-making model. Emotionally driven decisions may lead to biased or irrational outcomes. The model advocates for a rational and objective decision-making process, avoiding excessive emotional influence. Consequently, statement D is incorrect.

Based on the analysis above, your answer, C, is correct. The decision-making model indeed strives to avoid getting caught up in emotion.
