FERNANDEZ ARBELAEZ, Jorge Iván  and  VILLADA ZAPATA, Johny. Analysis of Evidence in Decision-Making Research between 2002 and 2012. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.1, pp.105-120. ISSN 1794-4724.  https://doi.org/10.12804/apl33.01.2015.08.

This article presents a systematic review of 66 studies on decision making from psychology issued from 2002 through 2012, either in English or Spanish. These studies were classified according to the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN)'s levels of evidence and degrees of recommendation. The research type, level, and design of every study were analyzed in detail, as well as the relationship between these factors and the levels of evidence in the studies involved. Stronger evidence for quality in research on physiological correlates of decision variables was found, as well as a lower quality level in comparative studies on psychological decision-making models. The latter show a high level of theoretical divergence and a lack of research focused on consolidating a coherent theoretical framework.

Keywords : Decision making; judgment; evidence analysis.
