In psychology, decision-making is a cognitive process by which an individual decides on a course of action among various alternatives, based on personal beliefs or a combination of factors, or decides on an opinion that the individual wants to express outwardly. Each decision-making process will aim to produce a final decision, a selection of final choices. These choices can be in the form of an action or a chosen opinion. Analysis is the process of breaking down a complex topic or content into smaller parts in order to better understand it.
