Decision-Making Worksheets & Facts | Types, Process, Outcomes - Free Printable

Let's go through each statement one by one and determine whether it is TRUE or FALSE, based on responsible decision-making principles. For the FALSE statements, we’ll identify the underlined word and correct it.

1. Having impulse decisions can also lead to improperly managing these challenges.

- Underlined phrase: *improperly managing*
- Analysis: Impulse decisions are often made without thinking things through. This can indeed lead to poor handling of challenges.
- Is this true? Yes — making impulsive decisions typically results in ineffective or inappropriate responses to problems.
- ✔ Answer: TRUE

> ✔️ No change needed.

2. Being under-informed is another challenge because it would make it hard for the person to create solutions without the proper information.

- Underlined phrase: *under-informed*
- Analysis: The word "under-informed" means not having enough information. That makes sense — if someone lacks information, they can't make good decisions.
- But let’s look at the sentence structure:
> "...make it hard for the person to create solutions without the proper information."

Wait — this says it's hard to create solutions *without* proper information. That’s actually true, but the logic is a bit awkward. However, the idea is correct: being under-informed (not having enough info) makes it hard to solve problems.

- But the issue is with the word choice. “Under-informed” is a valid term, but it's more commonly phrased as "misinformed" or "lacking information". However, “under-informed” is acceptable in context.

But let’s check the logic:
- Saying you’re under-informed → you don’t have enough info → you can’t create good solutions → that’s correct.

- So the statement is TRUE, and the word "under-informed" is acceptable.

> ✔ Answer: TRUE

> ✔️ No change needed.

3. Decisions made under pressure are the best options.

- Underlined phrase: *best options*
- Analysis: This is a false statement. Making decisions under pressure often leads to rushed, emotional, or incomplete choices. While sometimes quick decisions are necessary, they are generally not the *best* options due to lack of reflection.
- So the statement is FALSE.

- We need to change the underlined phrase *best options* to something accurate.

A better phrase could be: "riskier choices" or "less thoughtful decisions".

But since we're only changing the underlined part, and the original says *"the best options"*, we should replace it with something like:

> "risky or hasty choices"

Or simply: "less ideal choices"

But to keep it simple and age-appropriate (this appears to be for kids), we can say:

> Change "best options" to "risky choices"

✔ Answer: FALSE
👉 Change "best options" to "risky choices"

4. When you feel anxious or stressed, it is advisable to pause and relax before making decisions.

- Underlined phrase: *pause and relax*
- Analysis: This is sound advice. Emotions like anxiety and stress cloud judgment. Taking a moment to calm down helps improve decision quality.
- So this statement is TRUE.

> ✔ Answer: TRUE

> ✔️ No change needed.

✔ Final Answers:

| Statement | Truth Value | Correction (if FALSE) |

| 1. Having impulse decisions can also lead to improperly managing these challenges. | TRUE | — |
