Who I once admired, I helped fire, and I stood by my own personal values, and what I think is professional conduct. It was not for myself, but the wellbeing of others, and the betterment of everyone directly, and indirectly involved.

To further break down this claim, Feldman says that experiencing more intense pleasures is better than experiencing less intense…

What would my employees think? Am I a pushover? Will more complaints occur? In order to avoid these questions and any resulting regret the decision was made based on the regret theory (Plous, 1993 p.101). 3. Compare and contrast your understanding of judgment and/or decision making using these three different theoretical approaches. My understanding of the judgment was based on the surrounding context.
