CFP: psychological models of (ir)rationality and decision making

[Wiebe van der Hoek]

Reminder: Call for papers

For Knowledge, Rationality and Action, a permanent special section of Synthese, we would like to solicit papers for a special issue on psychological models of (ir)rationality and decision making. Further keywords include but are not limited to: preferences, analytic reasoning, intuition, emotions, and individual differences.

The models may be general, pertaining to decision making in daily life, or applied to a specific professional domain. In the latter case, the domain should be introduced frugally and possible generalisations of the presented models to other domains should be discussed. Both empirical and conceptual papers are welcome.

Contributions may not exceed 25 manuscript pages (double-spaced, pitch 12) or 5,000 words, including figures, tables, and references.

Authors should follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for general style and layout.

Abstracts (maximum 250 words) of proposed submissions may be sent to the guest editor of this issue at C.Witteman at socsci.ru.nl before September 1st, 2011. Suitability of the abstracts will be judged by the guest editor before October 1st, 2011. When approved, full papers are due before December 1st, 2011. Reviews will be sent out by March 1st, 2012, and revisions are expected by May 1st 2012.

The aim is to publish the special issue late 2012 or early 2013.
