            Abstract
            Changing choices psychological relativity theory unifying theory transformation parameters psychology psygologie koornstra choice dynamics The book contains a unifying theory on how the common object space is metrically transformed by individuals with different transformation parameters, due to their other previous experiences, to individually different psychological spaces for judgment on the one hand and preference on the other hand. Individual experiences also change generally, whereby the psychological spaces also change generally for each individual. The theory, therefore, is a psychological relativity theory of perception, judgment, preference, and choice dynamics. This book is a must read for all behavioural, economic, and social scientists with theoretical interest and some understanding of multidimensional data analyses. It integrates more than twenty theories on perception, judgment, preference, and risk decisions into one mathematical theory. Knowledge of advanced mathematics and modern geometry is not needed, because the mathematical subsections can be skipped without loss of understanding, due to their explanation and illustration by figures in the text.
             
            Het boek bevat een unificerende theorie over hoe iedereen als gevolg van eerdere, individueel andere ervaringen dezelfde objectruimte metrisch transformeert met andere transformatie parameters tot individueel verschillende, psychologische ruimten voor oordelen enerzijds en voorkeuren anderzijds. Individuele ervaringen veranderen doorgaans, waardoor die psychologische ruimten ook individueel veranderen. De theorie vormt daarom een psychologische relativiteitstheorie van waarnemen, oordelen, voorkeuren en dynamisch keuzegedrag. Dit boek is een "must" voor alle psychologen, economen en sociale wetenschapsbeoefenaren met theoretische interesse en enig begrip van meerdimensionele gegevensanalyses. Het bevat een integratie van ruim twintig theorieën over waarnemen, oordelen, preferenties en risicobeslissingen tot één wiskundige theorie. Kennis van geavanceerde wiskunde en moderne geometrie is niet nodig, omdat de wiskundige subparagrafen zonder verlies van begrip kunnen worden overgeslagen, want in de tekst worden ze verklaard en met figuren geïllustreerd.
