When deciding which restaurant to try in a new city, Lisa quickly chooses the one with the longest line, assuming that it must have the best food. Instead of researching reviews or considering other factors, she relies on this mental shortcut to make her decision.

Question

When deciding which restaurant to try in a new city, Lisa quickly chooses the one with the longest line, assuming that it must have the best food. Instead of researching reviews or considering other factors, she relies on this mental shortcut to make her decision.

Lisa’s decision-making process is an example of which concept?

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The scenario presents a quick, mental shortcut used to judge where to dine in a new city. Here are the options and the reasoning for each:
Option 1: Heuristic. The description clearly matches a heuristic, which is a mental shortcut or rule of thumb that people use to make fast judgments without extensive analysis. Lisa is relying on the observable cue of the longest line as a proxy for quality, which is a classic heuristic.
Option 2: Confirmation bias. This would involve favoring information that confirms preconceptions while ignoring contradictory evidence. In this case, there is no indication that Lisa is seeking or interpreting information to confirm a preexisting belief about which restaurant is best; she simply uses a line length as a shortcut.
Option 3: Attribution. This concept relates to explaining behaviors by attributing causes to either internal dispositions or external situations. The scenario doesn’t involve assigning causation for someone’s actions or outcomes; it focuses on a decision shortcut.
Option 4: Systematic processing. This involves deliberate, effortful, and analytical evaluation of information. Lisa’s behavior is the opposite of systematic processing, since she avoids weighing reviews, ratings, or other factors and instead uses a quick heuristic.
Overall, the pattern of relying on a single, surface cue (line length) to infer quality aligns with a heuristic, whereas the other options describe more analytical, bias-driven, or explanatory processes that are not represented here.
