DESCRIPTION: This research aims to examine the relative advantages and disadvantages of having environmental decisions made by a group or an individual, and the nature of participatory processes in environmental decisions.

OUTCOMES: 2007-2012: Researchers have illuminated a number of results on outcome framing (where outcomes were presented as gains or losses); risky choice framing (more references to certainty in gain frame; more references to avoiding sure loss in loss frame); role-based arguments; and conference calls and technology-mediated communication.
