3 The pteceding decision of whether one should play the Pick-3 lottety was fairly simple because it was assumed the only values associated with any outcome were monetary. But consider just about any proposal a candidate might make during political campaign. Say Roger Republican is running against Debra Democrat for governor of my state. and he proposes a onetime, across-the-board $100 cut in state income taxes for all taxpayers in the state as a spur to the sluggish economy. If Roger's proposal becomes law, what would be its consequences for me?
Generally speaking, decision-makers rely on noncompensatory decision strategies when there are more than tvvo alternatives, but they may use more compensatory strategies if there are only two alternatives (Einhorn, 1970; Tversky, 1972). There are additional factors that can affect the difficulty of rhe choice facing decision-makers, holding task size constant. One such factor that can characterize many political decisions is time pressure, which could shift a decision-mal(er's goals from accuracy to efficiency.
But a second reason that it is wrong to equate judgment and decision-making is that global evaluations, even when they are made, do not necessarily dictate choice. People may vote "strategically» -that is, choose a less preferred alternative because their most pteferred candidate has no chance of winning (Abramson, Aldrich, Paolino, & Rohde, 1992). People may vote for a candidate rhey do not particularly like fot some reason largely external to the decision itself (acting "against my bettet judgment"), for example to please a parent or girlfriend.
