Decision theory. Normative and descriptive decision theory[edit] Since people usually do not behave in ways consistent with axiomatic rules, often their own, leading to violations of optimality, there is a related area of study, called a positive or descriptive discipline, attempting to describe what people will actually do.

Decision theory

Since the normative, optimal decision often creates hypotheses for testing against actual behaviour, the two fields are closely linked.
