Abstract

The current study aimed to find out the relationship between cognitive biases and decision-making skill, and the impact of this relationship. The study sample consisted of (530) (students, employees, managers); (200) male and female students (94 males, 106 females); (200) employees (104 females, 96 males); and (130) managers (61 females, 69 males) whose ages range from (20 to 60 years) with an average age of (39.6) and a standard deviation of (9.5). They were applied to a cognitive biases scale prepared by Van der Gaag and his companions (translated by the researcher), and a measure of decision-making skill (prepared by the researcher). The results of the study included: (1) There is a negative correlation at the significance level of 0.01 between the total score of the cognitive biases scale and the total score of the decision-making skill scale, as well as the presence of a negative correlation at the significance level of 0.01 between the total score of the decision-making skill scale and the dimensions of the cognitive biases scale. As for the correlation of the dimensions of the decision-making skill scale with the total score of the cognitive biases scale, the correlation was negative at a significance level of 0.01. (2) There is a significant negative effect at the 0.01 level for each of (rigid beliefs, subjective social problems, and external attribution) on the first dimension (implementation and taking responsibility) of the decision-making skill measure, and there is a significant negative effect at the 0.01
