Abstract
The present study investigated the relationships between time pressure, type of decision process, in terms of its being compensatory and non-compensatory, and post-decisional confidence. It was hypothesized that time pressure would lead to more frequent use of non-compensatory strategies and that post-decisional confidence would be higher after non-compensatory decisions than after compensatory decisions. For each subject 36 choice situations were developed such that choice of one alternative would suggest a compensatory decision process whereas choice of the other alternative would suggest a non-compensatory process. Twenty student nurses made these choices and rated their post-decisional confidence for each choice. Both hypotheses were supported although time pressure was not found to influence level of confidence. An explanation based on the amount of conflict accompanying each type of decision process was suggested.
