Description
Summary:Within the framework of an experimental investigation with the objective to analyze the influence of the autobiographical memory and cultural intelligence on the type of decision making (analytical or intuitive) in contexts characterized by the cultural diversity and the uncertainty, we adapted the Survey of Tacit Knowledge (Daake, Dawley & Anthony, 2004) result to a Scale of Operative Decision Styles(SODS) in order to measure the predominant style in the decision making. This instrument was administered to a probabilistic sample of 272 volunteers assigned to peace missions. The objective of the present work is to validate this scale and to determine its confidence. The statistical analyses were made with the SPSS 15.0 software.The instrument presents acceptable psychometric properties, displaying all items elevated factorial saturations in all the five released components. The alpha of Cronbach shows a passable internal consistency.
