Approaches to assess the group consensus in Yes-or-No type experts’ group decision making

Group Decision Making: From Consistency to Consensus

In group decision making (GDM) processes, prior to the selection of the best alternative(s), it would be desirable that experts achieve a high degree of consensus or agreement between them. Due to the complexity of most decision making problems, individuals’ preferences may not satisfy formal properties. ‘Consistency’ is one of such properties, and it is associated with the transitivity propert...

Emotional consensus in group decision making

This paper presents a theory and computational model of the role of emotions in group decision making. After reviewing the role of emotions in individual decision making, it describes social and psychological mechanisms by which emotional and other information is transmitted between individuals. The processes by which these mechanisms can contribute to group consensus are modeled computationall...

Using Visualization Tools to Guide Consensus in Group Decision Making

In the resolution of group decision making problems where the consensus process can not be held face to face by the experts it is usually difficult for them to be able to identify the closeness of the opinions of the rest of the experts, and thus, it is difficult to have a clear view of the current state of the consensus process. In this paper we present a tool that creates consensus diagrams t...
