Preferred term

decision making under stress  

Definition

  • Stress is one of the key factors that underlie the demands on decision makers when faced with crises. Whether the individual is an airline pilot; the manager of a nuclear plant; a police, fire, or naval commander; or an emergency or business continuity manager, crises are likely to result in decision makers dealing with an enormous number of variables, often in very short time frames.
