Prior research has also shown that police officers managed uncertainty in dynamic, high-risk situations by seeking out additional information and updating their assessments of a given situation based on their previous experience, as a way to reduce the levels of uncertainty experienced during three phases of the decision-making process: situation assessment, plan formulation, and plan execution. Two recent studies have elucidated the important role that individual differences in personality traits associated with decision-making may play in police decisionmaking. In line with this previous research, this study hypothesized that individual differences in trait maximization would influence police officers when making high-uncertainty decisions.	./cache/cord-286064-gzfs2m3u.txt	./txt/cord-286064-gzfs2m3u.txt
