Life is developing rapidly, and every day we make countless current decisions, often failing to fully consider the consequences and end of these choices. Still, things are usually quite good. But when you want to choose better, what will happen so smoothly? Science contributes to breakthroughs in all aspects of medicine, technology, physics, and life. If science can help us make decision-making processes, isn't that good? Well, here are a few experts who say that scientific research and scientific methods can really help us make better decisions - they also explain how to use it.

Maximizer is a decision maker. Their goal is to make the best decisions. They will spend endless time and effort checking every option and trying to make the best choice. Studies have shown, however, that these people tend to be less interested in decision-making than other types of decision makers: “satisfied”, those who aim to make “good enough” decisions. Satisfied people do have standards: in fact, their standards may be very high. But once they determine which choices meet their criteria, they will make a decision and move on. On the other hand, the maximizer continues to study and compare options anxiously, often resulting in an inability to actually choose or to make a choice and ultimately dissatisfied. When faced with decisions, try not to think too much. Learn to be content with "good enough" and be satisfied with the decisions you make.

Although many of us live in a high stress and tension, but most Good decision makers are usually very focused and calm, Apex Performance, Inc. James Schwabach, a performance psychology consultant, said that one way Schwabach helps clients achieve this goal is the ideal mentality of biofeedback and mindfulness. Biofeedback involves instruments that measure physiological activity and provide feedback to the user. This ideaYes, if you show Som if the pressure actually looks like something, he can better identify and correct it. Mindfulness is a state of positive and non-judgmental attention to the current moment and current thoughts and feelings. There is growing evidence that mindfulness can have a positive impact on the way decisions are formulated, developed, implemented and evaluated. Schwabach said: "Biofeedback allows me to consciously train my clients to increase their attention and get them into mindfulness when they need it most."

Another expert has been studying how to think and The body INT influences decision making by Julia Mosbridge, a cognitive neuroscientist and research director at Mosbridge Institute LLC. Mosbridge believes that unconscious handling is critical to making the right decisions. "Physiology - including heart rhythm - is related to unconscious and conscious processes," she said. With this in mind, Mossbridge developed the App Choice Compass, which allows users to record their heart rhythms as they imagine each of the two contrast options. Based on her research with hundreds of testers, the app tells the user which of these two choices produces the most similar rhythm as people imagine making positive choices. Mosbridge said: "It makes sense to really 'listen to your heart' when making a decision." Credit: Jupiterimages, Brand X Image / Stockbyte / Getty Image 4. Think like a scientist
One of the ways science can help you make better decisions is through the scientific approach, Pablo Solomon, the artist, designer and former scientific advisor of the Emergency School Assistance Act. "In science," he said, "you identified a problem or problem, you gathered information, you assumed a hypothesis, and then you basically tried to refute this hypothesis." When faced with situations in which decisions must be made in life, Please remember this process. "If your assumptions are subject to scrutiny,Solomon said, "It is very likely that it is correct." "However, he added, please remember that there are very few hundred percent correct - and everything is under review. Image Source: Jupiterimages / Stockbyte / Getty Images 5.

Pay close attention to outliers, Taliba M said Foster, MD, a board-certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist in private practice. Although researching and examining large amounts of data allows us to track trends, preferences and norms But Foster says there will always be a population that exceeds the predicted or expected outcome. "The data on these outliers is usually the most important," she said. It can explain why certain strategies fail and are in our decision making process. Found errors.

Foster said there is too much information and too many choices. "In 2011, science columnist and author Sharon Begley published an article in Newsweek on Temple University. Angelika Dimoka, director of the Neural Decision Center, conducted an article on 'Information Overloading' research," Foster said. Dimoka measured the brain activity of volunteers participating in the combined auction - a daunting type of auction that requires participants to quickly Bidding for the vast majority of items. Foster says the study shows that when too many factors are overwhelmed, biological processes occur in the brain - sudden activity declines in areas responsible for intelligent decision making - causing us to make very bad decisions Try to keep it simple and avoid decision fatigue.

Seek input from other researchers[Georgian Medicine Amy Baxter, a clinical associate professor at the hospital, said that the cautious approach to discussing issues with knowledgeable partners may be decision-making.Important section. For example, she found that the more times a child was 4 to 6 years old who received a day, the more likely they were to be afraid of a needle after five years - and it is unlikely that the HPV series will be used as a teenager. As a result, these terrible children have experienced health consequences due to suspicious decisions; that is, a large number of vaccines are given in one day. One way to make a decision, such as deciding how to vaccinate your child, is to talk to an expert - in this case, your pediatrician. Use the education of others: Discuss the consequences and choices of any decision with an experienced person.

8. Fasting intoNext time you face an important decision, maybe you should try to eat before the production rice. The 2014 paper published in the journal PLOS ONE tested whether hunger affects strategic decisions. Surprisingly, the results of experiments have shown that those who are hungry make more favorable choices in uncertain outcomes than those who are satisfied. It also shows that “hungry participants are better able to appreciate the big rewards of the future in delaying discounts; and, even though they believe that the value of food and currency objects increases, hungry participants are not inclined to risk getting them. The object of desire. "

9. Think like a womanIf you want to make an expedient, a wise decision, Maybe you should think like a woman. The McMaster University study, published in the International Journal of Business Governance and Ethics, surveyed more than 600 male and female emale board members and women who were found to make more fair and more favorable decisions – especially in competitive interests. When threatened - more than men. Studies have shown that men tend to follow rules, rules and traditions when making decisions, while women are bound by these restrictions. In addition, female directors are not only more singular than male directors, they are able to perceive more possible solutions, and they are more likely to consider the rights and opinions of those around them, and to use more cooperation. Collaboration is usually and more than research in men. More effective.

10. Trials and errors"The model" psychiatrist Taliba M. Foster, MD, said: "It is not always equal to perfection," so don't shy away from history. research method. "Science reminds us of simple trials and mistakes - actually dating back to her, for us as the origin of humanity - can make very easy decisions. "Depending on the situation, trial and error can be a pragmatic way to decide a decision. Is there too many chances of failure? In an interview in 1998, theoretical physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson provided an example of a bicycle: "Before they found a model that really worked, they had built and tried Thousands of strange models. You can never design a bicycle in theory. Even now, after we have built them for 100 years, it is difficult to understand why a bicycle project - even difficult to express it as a mathematical problem. But just through trial and error, we found out how to do this, mistakes are essential. "
