In more applied research we work on the application of decision making theory to real world problems.

For example:

In educational settings, we examine the effect of different scoring rules and risk tendency on examinees' response in multiple choice exam questions.

In health context, we examine factors that may explain the reluctance of high risk patients to vaccinate. 

In managerial context, we examine how people build a configuration given a set of constraints and objectives.
