Analycentric policy analysis claims cognitive superiority over practice on the basis of the scientific logic and consistency built into analytical techniques such as cost-effectiveness analysis, cost–benefit analysis, statistical decision theory, and planning—programming—budgeting. The analycentric policy analyst relies on algorithms, filled with data and insights from secondary sources, either scientific or practical.

This process... states that people adjust their risk acceptance decision and their risk-taking behaviour towards their target level of perceived risk.

Dans le domaine de la sécurité routière, Wilde développe la théorie du risque homéostatique. Le sujet adapte son comportement en fonction de son niveau de risque préférentiel ou cible, c'est-à-dire le niveau de risque que le sujet pense pouvoir prendre. C'est une manière de considérer la sécurité comme un objet progressif. En effet, il ne suffit pas de rectifier des virages ou de réaménager un carrefour pour que le bilan soit positif. Un certain facteur de sécurité supplémentaire dans un domaine peut se révéler néfaste dans un autre domaine.

The fundamental differences between decision making as it has been studied using traditional decision theory, and as it occurs in socially-situated naturalistic settings. The resulting naturalistic decision theory has emphasized highly detailed, almost ethnographic, studies of decision processes in specific domains. This had resulted in dense data but primarily prose representations and analyses. 1, record 15, English, - traditional%20decision%20theory

Ainsi, les réflexions, menées au CREA3 sur les paradoxes de la rationalité, montrent que la théorie classique de la décision conduit à des résultats contre intuitifs et à des paradoxes, dès lors que l'on prend en compte les actions collectives, les représentations collectives et la façon dont les agents s'y réfèrent. Dès lors qu'une critique "interne" s'attaque à l'axiomatique du choix rationnel, elle peut être aussi dévastatrice pour l'économie dominante qu'une critique externe. 1, record 15, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20classique%20de%20la%20d%C3%A9cision
