Maximization and the Act of Choice
探讨选择行为在最大化过程中的两种特殊作用：过程意义（偏好可能受选择过程影响）和决策不可避免性（即使判断未完成也必须做出选择），并指出标准理性选择模型需重大修改，对经济、社会和政治行为研究有重要参考价值。
The act of choosing can have particular relevance in maximizing behavior for at least two distinct reasons: (1) process significance (preferences may be sensitive to the choice process, including the identity of the chooser), and (2) decisional inescapability (choices may have to be made whether or not the judgemental process has been completed). The general approach of maximizing behavior can-appropriately formulated-accommodate both concerns, but the regularities of choice behavior assumed in standard models of rational choice will need significant modification. These differences have considerable relevance in studies of economic, social, and political behavior.
