Karar Vermenin Psikolojisi

Öz

Karar verme, üst düzey bilişsel bir süreçtir. Farklı zihinsel ve psikolojik fonksiyonların birlikte çalışması ile ortaya çıkmaktadır. Karar verme, insanın sahip olduğu en önemli yeteneklerden birisi olup insanın düşünce sistematiği içerisinde de önemli bir yere sahiptir. Psikolojik faktörler ve kabiliyetlerle beraber insan beyni düşünme, muhakeme yapma ve karar verme için mükemmele yakın bir kapasite ve donanıma sahiptir. Bu şekilde, karar verme hem psikolojik hem de beyin temelli yaklaşımlarla incelenmiş, karar verme üzerinde etkili olan çeşitli varsayımlar ve değişkenler ile ilgili çalışmalar değerlendirilmiş ve hukukçulara yönelik temel bilimsel bir referans oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır. Aynı zamanda hem psikoloji hem de hukuk literatüründen faydalanarak ortak bir zeminde çok yönlü bir farkındalık sağlamak amaçlanmıştır. Karar verme süreci çok sayıda faktör tarafından etkilenmektedir. Karar verme her ne kadar tüm insanların sahip olduğu bir yetenek olsa da zorlukları, çok boyutlu olması, mesuliyeti ve sonuçları bakımından, meslekleri gereği üst düzey karar verme yetkisine sahip hâkimler açısından daha çok önem taşımaktadır.
