Annotation:
The project focuses on the study of decision-making processes in those professionals where decision making significantly influences their professional performance. The aim is to analyze decision making of professionals from the aspect of heuristic strategies, and from the aspect of identifying key processual aspects of decision making in professionals. The focus is also on microcognitions in decision making (basic building blocks of thinking) and macrocognitions (complex cognitive adaptations to the complexity of stimulus situation). The project also analyzes personality and social variables with the potential to enter the decision-making process. A separate space is dedicated to the description of intuitive and systematic strategies of decision making in professionals and their mutual comparison.

Key words:
