The last twenty years have seen a series of developments within attitude theory that are likely to shape the field in the next decades. Two main approaches to decision making within this field have emerged: automatic and deliberative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1998). These two approaches have been repeatedly sketched in the so-called dual theories, for instance in models of attitude change and persuasiv...

Copy Abstract: The influence of stable individual differences on behaviour need not solely rely upon deliberative processes but can also be exerted through automatic associative processes. In this contribution, three studies that illustrate the role of individual differences in automaticity are presented in the domain of helping behaviour. The first study provides evidence both for a double dis...

Cooperation is central to human existence, forming the bedrock of everyday social relationships and larger societal structures. Thus, understanding the psychological underpinnings of cooperation is of both scientific and practical importance. Recent work using a dual-process framework suggests that intuitive processing can promote cooperation while deliberative processing can undermine it. Here...

Much of the global burden of non-communicable disease is caused by unhealthy behaviours that individuals enact even when informed of their health-harming consequences. A key insight is that these behaviours are not predominantly driven by deliberative conscious decisions, but occur directly in response to environmental cues and without necessary representation of their consequences. Consequentl...

OBJECTIVE To review the strengths and weaknesses of deliberative and intuitive processes in the context of patient decision support and to discuss implications for decision aid (DA) design. METHODS Conceptual review of the strengths and weaknesses of intuitive and analytical decision making and applying these findings to the practice of DA design. RESULTS DAs combine several important goals...
