Decision-making style, personality, and decision outcomes of military personnel, a network analysis approach.

Abstract

The role of personality factors and decision-making styles is analyzed in the decision-making process, using the Decision Outcomes Inventory (DOI), developed by Bruine de Bruine et al. in a sample of the population of 178 active militaries, of which 135 men and 39 women. The results of the decision-making process are significantly predicted by the anxious decision-making style, i.e., people who tend to experience negative feelings during decision-making end up having better results when making decisions. The strong link between the anxious decision-making style and emotional stability is highlighted by the structure of the network used in the analysis. Since the opposite pole of emotional stability is neuroticism, we can say that people with an anxious decision-making style face a wide range of feelings specific to this decision-making style, such as fear, and insecurity, so they postpone deciding until they find the best solution.
