The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It differs from the cognitive and behavioral sciences in that it is mainly prescriptive and concerned with identifying optimal decisions for a rational agent, rather than describing how people actually make decisions.
- Despite this, the field is important to the study of real human behavior by social scientists, as it lays the foundations to mathematically model and analyze individuals in fields such as sociology, economics, criminology, cognitive science, moral philosophy and political science.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Decision theory article was read about 91,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 45: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
