First is the breakdown of cardiac surgical results to assess the effects of each of the care components that makes up the care package of a patient’s experiences. Second, the way we assess risk in patients prior to surgery may potentially be improved if we change our mindsets from additive and logistic regression analysis and em...

Inconsistency in pairwise comparison judgements is often perceived as an unwanted phenomenon and researchers have proposed a number of techniques to either reduce it or correct it. We take viewpoint that this inconsistency unleashes different mindsets the decision maker(s) should be taken into account when generating recommendations support. With aim we consider spanning trees analysis which re...

Spontaneous (i.e., heuristic, fast, effortless, and associative) processing has clear advantages for human cognition, but it can also elicit undesirable outcomes such as stereotyping other biases. In the current article, we argue that biased judgements behaviour result from spontaneous be reduced by activating various flexibility mindsets. These mindsets are characterised consideration of alter...
