About this Research Topic
Decision making, as a higher cognitive process of human beings, plays an essential role in the executive function. At present, the research on green decision-making mainly focuses on consumption, product investment etc., and there is less research on the direct study of individual environment intertemporal decision-making or green environment related decision-making. Since the occurrence of COVID-19, its influence on cognition and behavior of individuals and organizations has affected their green decision-making, then. Researchers found that before the occurrence of COVID-19, individuals and organizations tend to make choices without foresight in green decision-making, regardless of the long-term consequences in the future. Individuals’ and organizations’ beliefs that the pandemic of COVID-19 is caused by human beings’ excessive intrusion into nature enable them to make choices with more foresight in green decision-making. Therefore, it is very necessary to explore individual green decision-making and organizational green management decision in the context of COVID-19. The development of physiological and neuropsychological techniques (e.g., EEG, fNIRS, eye-tracking, etc.) deciphers the signals of the central nerve system, furnishing opportunities for current research that correlates with green decision-making behavior to promote further improvements in the planning, organizing, executing, and controlling behaviors for the development of this field.
To acquire the focus of this research streamline, this research topic focuses on green decision making of individuals and organizations in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic, new findings in green decision making supplementing decision making theory, neural substrates associated with human green decision making, organizational green management decision in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic. Contributions on other important green decision making-related domains, such as pro-environmental behavior, impulsive decision making, mental disorders and green decision making, would also be considered. Original Research, Review, Policy and Practice Reviews, Methods, Hypothesis and Theory, Opinion, Perspective, and Conceptual Analysis dealing with decision making topics using measurement model, behavior experiment, EEG, eye-tracking, fMRI and other methods are welcome.
Examples of the topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Green decision making and pro-environmental behavior in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic
- New findings in green decision making supplementing decision making theory
- Neural substrates associated with human green decision making
- Organizational green management decision in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic
- Green decision making in group
-Mental disorders and green decision making
- Green decision making and psychological mechanisms in adolescents
