Decision-Making Competence: More Than Intelligence?
Open accessAbstract
Decision-making competence refers to the ability to make better decisions, as defined by decision-making principles posited by models of rational choice. Historically, psychological research on decision-making has examined how well people follow these principles under carefully manipulated experimental conditions. When individual differences received attention, researchers often assumed that individuals with higher fluid intelligence would perform better. Here, we describe the development and validation of individual-differences measures of decision-making competence. Emerging findings suggest that decision-making competence may tap not only into fluid intelligence but also into motivation, emotion regulation, and experience (or crystallized intelligence). Although fluid intelligence tends to decline with age, older adults may be able to maintain decision-making competence by leveraging age-related improvements in these other skills. We discuss implications for interventions and future research.

When the consequences of each alternative are known in advance or can be memorized, a person's ability to make a rational decision taking into account benefits and costs of each option depends more on intelligence and less on executive control functions.
“Когда последствия выбора каждой альтернативы заранее известны или поддаются запоминанию, способность человека к принятию рационального решения с учетом выгод и издержек каждой опции зависит в большей степени от уровня интеллекта и в меньшей степени -от функций исполнительного контроля (Skagerlund et al., 2022), а также компенсирующих их факторов: опыта, образования, мотивации и навыков эмоциональ”
From Когнитивные механизмы дисфункционального принятия решений при психических расстройствах (2025) · cites this paper as Bruine de Bruin et al., 2020
“More Than Just Intelligence?” (p. 9) reports that decision-making competence correlates with both fluid intelligence and executive functioning. It does not say that intelligence matters more than executive control when alternatives’ consequences are known or can be memorized. Its stronger-correlation finding compares two decision-making tasks, not intelligence with executive control. (LLM, conf=0.86)

“Studies have also found that people are more likely to become concerned about “wasting” prior investments and to violate the sunk-cost principle when irrecoverable losses are larger (Arkes & Blumer, 1985).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
