Understanding environmental decision making: The association between stages of decision making and decisional conflict by Letizia Richelli, Eline L.F.M.G. Vissers, Alessandra Gorini, Marijn H.C. Meijers, Eline S. Smit, Thomas Gültzow

“…., different stages of decision making) and on their experienced difficulty in deciding in favour of the environment and which behaviour to conduct (i.e., decisional conflict).Methods: To explore in which stage participants find themselves (i.e., not yet thinking about choices, showing interest in doing so, actively considering options, approaching a decision, having already decided but remaining open to reconsideration, or being firmly committed to a decision with little chance of change) and whether their respective stages are correlated with their experienced decisional conflict, an online, cross-sectional questionnaire was distributed among a convenience sample of 418 English-, Dutch-, and Italian-speaking adults to measure participants’ demographics, stages, and extent to which they experience decisional conflict.Results: Based on regression analyses, we observed that participants who were further along in the stages experienced less decisional conflict.Conclusion: Therefore, we suggest that interventions (e.g., decision aids) take stages into account to better meet users’ needs and assist people in making environmental decisions.…”

Evaluating metrics of spectral quality in nonuniform sampling by D. Levi Love, Michael R. Gryk, Adam D. Schuyler

“…We augmented that workflow by including an IROC module, which we believe to be an effective component of defining stop criteria for adaptive FID collection. As for the decision of what additional FIDs, this study builds off the work of prior studies on the influence the seed used to generate a nonuniform sample schedule has on the quality of a NUS reconstruction (Hyberts et al., 2011), i.e., whether a sampling method yields “high-variance” or “low-variance” schedules (Zambrello et al., 2020). …”
