Most modern theories of decision making recognize the fact that decisions do not take place in a vacuum.
Inidividual preferences and knowledge, along with situational variables, can greatly impact the decision
process. In order to facilitate our research on decision making, we are interesed in knowing certain factors
about you, the decision maker. Specifically, we are interested in whether you actually take the time to
read the directions; if not, then some of our manipulations that rely on changes in the instructions will
be ineffective. So, in order to demonstrate that you have read the instructions, please ignore the options
provided, and simply choose the three activities "Metallica," "Roxette," and "Bad Religion."
