Judgments under stress

About this book

"Here, Dr. Kenneth R. Hammond breaks with current approaches by introducing a new theory of stress and judgment that makes possible specific predictions of how stress affects our ability to cope with a wide variety of conditions, a long-sought result in this field."--BOOK JACKET. "Consisting mainly of three parts, this book synthesizes a vast body of research in cognitive psychology into an innovative theoretical framework that is intended to provide a reorientation to the field. Part I presents the reader with a wide range of background information on the topic of judgment under stress; Part II discusses a new approach to studying it; and Part III contains an extensive, up-to-date, annotated bibliography of the theoretical and empirical research on the topic."--BOOK JACKET. "This book provides an ideal resource for researchers and students in cognitive science and cognitive psychology, as well as an excellent source of information for those who train others in stressful occupations. It will greatly benefit those interested in political science and social policy, or anyone who has ever wondered about the psychological effects of stress."--BOOK JACKET.
