Introduction
The decision making process is a very important process which can lead to the success or failure of a solution in general. That is the reason why it is very important to
rely on the proper approach for the proper decision making process (López-Ruiz, Bergillos & Ortega-Sánchez, 2016). Four theories and their analysis is done within this report to get an in depth understanding on the topic.
Answer to Question 1
I have been going through the different lectures that has been given in the past eight weeks, several themes, concepts and theories about the critical thinking process and the decision making process has been explained thoroughly within the whole lectures that has been given. It has allowed me to look upon the decision making process in a different light (Xiumin, Xiao & Yiwen, 2019). In this way I have came to learn about the different things that can guide me to take the proper decisions in both my personal and professional lives. The theories that have intrigued me the most are the psychological contract theory, prospect theory, Johari window theory and the triangular thinking approach. I thought that these theories are the most significant ones that can provide a certain edge to the decision making process(Zhang, Zhou, An & Jin, 2019). After analyzing all the theories I have though that these four are the most important and effective measures behind the decision making process and I should also implement in my life both in the professional and personal sphere.
Answer to Question 2
    There is a proper reason behind choosing the theories for the decision making approach that been chosen? These approaches give a new definition and edge to the whole decision making process. I have not known the different ways behind the decision making process but these approaches has helped me to understand the processes that can make a decision right and it can also make the solutions or the outcome of the problems successful in a different way. The Johari window theory is one of the major decision making process that helped in the better understanding of the decision making process as a whole. The Johari window is basically a model that helps the different person to develop or identify the own self or the perspectives about the others. Through this development of the perspectives the Johari window model actually helps the people to take the proper decision on their own. This decision is based on the different perspectives and opinions which can lead to the proper decision being made by the individuals.
The Johari window exhibits the four quadrants in which there are different self qualities exhibiting the behavioral approach of the people in general. Accordions to this theory there are two factors that are known to others and they are the open area of the personality and the hidden area or façade. But in this case the hidden area is not known by the other people in the same sphere. There are factors which are known by the other people but known by self and that are the blind spot of the personality. In this way the Johari window represents the different perspectives of the people based upon their understanding of self and other people. This perspective defines the decision making process a lot and that also helped in the success of that decision that is being implemented.
Another theory that I think is very helpful is the prospect theory. The prospect theory helps a lot of thinking behind the decision making approach. The decision making can lead to the different solutions and the solutions can be associated with the different types of the losses or gains. Before taking the decision the people always assumes the associated loss or gain to a solution. That defines the different prospect of the decision. A decision is made only when the individual can think about the gain or advantages associated with it. The prospect theory helps to gain the proper assumption of the losses or gains associated with a decision and only after that a decision is being made. The prospect theory is a very practical concept of the decision making approach that is implemented consciously or subconsciously by the different people before taking the final decision (Meng & Weng, 2018). If there are any circumstances that lead...
