I think I can, I think I can ... processing time and strategy effects of goal acceptance/rejection decisions
Article Abstract:
The time involved in goal acceptance decision making processes is dependent on the level of difficulty of the assigned task. Goal setting is designed primarily to boost an individual's amount of production, with the premise that higher goals would mean higher production. Studies have shown that an individual's tendency to either accept or reject an assigned goal would greatly depend on perceptions of the feasibility of accomplishing the task. Goals with a medium amount of difficulty are found to be the most acceptable, while those perceived as too easy or too difficult are rejected.

Precision of probability information and prominence of outcomes: a description and evaluation of decisions under uncertainty
Article Abstract:
Three experiments that investigated the relationship between the type of imprecision and the prominence that outcomes obtain in decisions are described. Modeling participant's decisions with the contingent weighting model suggests that this outcome prominence effect was not necessarily caused by any change in the respective weighting of probability and outcomes information, but that it has probably occurred for purely mathematical reasons.
