ABSTRACT
In light of the increasing amount of literature available in English regarding personal decision-making styles or patterns, we have adapted the Melbourne D.M.Q. by Leon Mann (1997) to our particular purposes. This questionnaire is itself a revised version of the Flinders D.M.Q. (1982), both instruments being based on the decisional conflict model proposed by Irving Janis and Leon Mann in 1977. Two studies were carried out with a threefold

objective:

(1) to validate our adaptation of Mann’s instrument (1982, 1997) from a psychometrical point of view; (2) to analyse, within our context, the similarities and differences between our own university students and those from other cultures as regards decision patterns and decision-making self-esteem; and finally (3), to study the possible relationship between decision patterns and conflict coping styles. Finally, the paper examines the theoretical implications of the aforementioned results (AU)
RESUMEN
Dado el creciente interés en la literatura en lengua inglesa respecto a patrones o estilos personales en la toma de decisiones, el presente artículo adapta el "Melbourne d.m.q." del profesor Leon Mann (1997) a nuestro contexto. Este cuestionario es, a su vez, una revisión del "Flinders d.m.q." (Mann, 1982), estando ambos instrumentos soportados en el modelo de conflicto de decisión propuesto en 1977 por Irving Janis y Leon Mann. Se llevan a cabo dos estudios con un triple

objetivo:

(1) validar psicometricamente nuestra adaptación del cuestionario de Mann; (2) analizar en nuestro contexto similitudes y diferencias entre nuestros universitarios y los de otras culturas respecto al uso de patrones de decisión y autoestima como tomadores de decisiones; y finalmente, (3) estudiar la posible relación entre patrones de decisión y estilos de afrontamiento del conflicto. Por último, el artículo examina algunas implicaciones teóricas de los resultados mencionados (AU)
