Provide a personal example of a time you used habitual or affective decision making. Which hierarchy was involved? Briefly explain what occurred at each step. How involved were you in the decision making process? Why? Use BOLDtype for the type of decision making, related hierarchy, and level of involvement (see example below).

Example (using cognitive decision making, since it is not an option for your post):

Title: C--> A-->B - My SUV buying experience

When it was time to replace my husband's 13-year-old truck, I engaged in cognitive decision making as I scoured the internet for knowledge on various SUVs and their attributes, used information from Consumer Reports and AutoTrader.com to assess our options based on the attributes I considered most important, and then bought a new Honda Pilot. This aligns with the standard learning hierarchy because I approached the decision as a problem-solving process. I was highly involved in the process because a vehicle is an expensive, durable product that carries considerable risk. First I gathered knowledge about different SUVs and their attributes from various websites (cognition), then I formed a feeling about the product (affect), and finally I bought the product that offered the attributes with which I was most concerned (behavior).
