英文摘要:
Mutually exclusive decisions have been studied for decades. Many well-known decision theories have been defined to help people either to make rational decisions or to interpret people\'s behaviors, such as expected utility theory, regret theory, prospect theory, and so on. The paper argues that none of these decision theories are designed to provide practical, normative and quantitative approaches for multiple mutually exclusive decisions. Different decision-makers should naturally make different choices for the same decision question, as they have different understandings and feelings on the same possible outcomes.The author tries to capture the different understandings and feelings from different decision-makers, and model them into a quantitative decision evaluation process, which everyone could benefit from. The basic elements in classic expected utility theory are kept in the new decision theory, but the influences from mutually exclusive decisions will also be modeled into the evaluation process. This may sound like regret theory, but the new approach is designed to fit multiple mutually exclusive decision scenarios, and it does not require a definition of probability weighting function. The new theory is designed to be simple and straightforward to use, and the results are expected to be rational for each decision-maker.

中文摘要:
相互排斥的决策已经研究了几十年。许多著名的决策理论被定义为帮助人们做出理性决策或解释人们的行为,如预期效用理论、后悔理论、前景理论等。本文认为,这些决策理论都不是为多个相互排斥的决策提供实用、规范和定量方法而设计的。不同的决策者自然应该对同一决策问题做出不同的选择,因为他们对相同的可能结果有不同的理解和感受。作者试图捕捉不同决策者的不同理解和感受,并将其建模为量化决策评估过程,每个人都可以从中受益。经典期望效用理论的基本要素保留在新决策理论中,但互斥决策的影响也将建模到评估过程中。这听起来可能像后悔理论,但新方法旨在适应多个相互排斥的决策场景,并且不需要定义概率权重函数。这一新理论设计简单,易于使用,预期结果对每个决策者都是合理的。
