We welcome contributions that present empirical evidence, theoretical accounts as well as planned research. These are examples of topics that would be of interest: research into various modes of clinical reasoning (e.g. intuitive, analytical, heuristic, causal), the circumstances when the different modes may not be appropriate and lead to error, the types of knowledge involved, how the features of the task may influence reasoning, individual differences in reasoning, strategies for improving reasoning, methodologies for the study of clinical reasoning.<\/p>\n
For the first time, the workshop will aim to bring together researchers of medical diagnostic reasoning and of psychodiagnostic reasoning (‘case formulation’), and thus provide the opportunity for cross-fertilisation between two domains that do not often interact.<\/p>\n

ASSISTING DECISION MAKERS: A WORKSHOP MEETING<\/p>\n
When people find it difficult to make decisions, they may benefit from assistance given to them by other people. Those providing assistance may be experts in a particular domain (e.g., medicine, law, finance) or in the way that decisions should be made (decision support). There are four types of help that people may receive. First, they may be given information in some form that makes it easy for them to use. For example, this information may relate to risks associated with different choices. Second, they may receive advice from other people about an appropriate course of action or about some uncertain quantity, such as the risks or expected returns associated with different courses of action. Third, they may share their decision making process with the person assisting them. Fourth, they may have their decision made for them.<\/p>\n
This workshop will focus on these approaches to assisting decision makers and on factors relevant to choosing which should be used in different situations. It is supported by the UK Economic and Social Research Council and it will be held at University College London on 15 and 16 April. Invited speakers include J Frank Yates (Michigan), Ilan Yaniv (Jerusalem), and Eric Stone (Wake Forest).<\/p>\n
If you wish to present a poster of relevant work at the meeting, please send its title and a 150-word abstract to Matt Twyman (m.twyman@ucl.ac.uk) before 5pm on March 12th 2010. There may also be a few slots available for spoken presentations. Please let Matt know if you would be interested in filling one.<\/p>\n
Attendance at the meeting incurs no cost but you need to register by sending an email to Matt Twyman (m.twyman@ucl.ac.uk) by 12 March 2010. He will confirm your registration and provide you with further details.<\/p>\n

We invite submissions to the following forthcoming conference:<\/p>\n
Behavioural Finance Working Group Conference:<\/p>\n
Topic: Fairness, Trust and Emotions in Finance.
\nDate: 1-2 July 2010
\nVenue: Behavioural Finance Working Group, Cass Business School, London, UK
\nKeynote Speaker: Robert Olsen, Institute of Behavioral Finance<\/p>\n
Organisers: Richard Fairchild (School of Management, University of
\nBath), Gulnur Muradoglu (Cass Business School) and Daniel Zizzo
\n(University of East Anglia).<\/p>\n
Special Issue: Presenters have the option to have their papers
\nconsidered for a special issue of the International Journal of
\nBehavioural Accounting and Finance.<\/p>\n
The deadline for submissions is May 21st 2010<\/p>\n
The detailed Call for Papers is as follows:<\/p>\n
Overview: Traditionally, financial economists have based their analysis
\nof financial contracting on the assumption that agents are fully
\nrational, emotionless, self-interested maximizers of expected utility
\n(the homo economicus assumption). Behavioural economists are
\nincreasingly recognizing that financial decision makers may be subject
\nto psychological biases, and the effects of emotions (the homo sapiens
\nview). An interesting area of research examines the implications of
\nassuming that agents are not completely self-interested, but that they
\nalso consider the impact of their actions on the payoffs of others. In
\nthis meeting, we will consider the effects of fairness, trust, empathy,
\nfellow-feeling, and emotional reactions on financial contracting,
\nincentives and performance.<\/p>\n
We seek contributions from areas which include while not being limited
\nto the following issues:<\/p>\n
-decision-making at the corporate level (for example, the effect of
\nemotions, trust, and empathy on the FDI decision and on capital
\nbudgeting),<\/p>\n
-decision making at the start-up level (the effect of fairness, trust
\nand empathy on venture capitalist\/entrepreneurial financial
\ncontracting, incentives and performance),<\/p>\n
-decision making at the investor level (investors’ trust in corporate
\nmanagers).<\/p>\n
We invite you to submit extended abstracts, papers-in-progress or full
\npapers by the deadline of May 21st 2010.<\/p>\n
The organisers will come back with a decision within three weeks after
\nthis deadline.To submit a paper for consideration please email a PDF
\nversion of the paper to [1]Behavioural-Finance@city.ac.uk<\/p>\n
Papers chosen for submission will, at the author’s request, be
\nconsidered for publication for a Special Issue of the International
\nJournal of Behavioural Accounting and Finance<\/p>\n
