Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study set out to evaluate the extent to which decision makers are subject to known biases in foreign policy decision making. Using the Decision Board computerized platform in an experimental setting, we found that high-ranking military officers were likely to employ satisficing strategies en route to choice, had a "preference over preference" bias for a particular alternative by “locking in” to that alternative while ignoring information on other alternatives, and they were not as influenced by framing and certainty effects. The significance of these findings, their relevance to poliheuristic theory, and their policy implications are then discussed.
