Abstract

In this research, the situations of university entrance examinations simulate the conditions of decision-making behavior. Based on the analysis of the above information that is empowered by a series of interviews, a new idea about the behavior of human beings in decision-making is developed. decision making expresses that the limitation of rationality could lead to decisions which have worse results than random decisions or even inaction. Antirational decision-making in fact is based on a logical fallacy” that is accepted (and sometimes believed) by individuals. Special properties of entrance examinations prepare acceptable validity and reliability for our survey.   Key words: Antirational decision making, bounded rationality, rational decision making.
