The Lens Model Equation (Tucker, 1964) quantifies the judge-environment interactions expressed as judgment achievement and reveals the underlying sources of judgment achievement. Since Tucker’s publication (1964), there has been no comprehensive review of the literature applying the Lens Model Equation to individuals, i.e. idiographic approach. By describing and analysing variations of individual data this review shows, by means of a meta- analysis, restricted to idiographic studies, the importance of focusing on the idiographic approach, which is mostly neglected by research on judgment and decision-making. Consequently, only 14 of 34 studies, using an idiographic approach, were included in our review. The findings of 263 judgment achievements, analysed by our meta-analysis, led to the conclusion that, generally speaking, our individuals judge a given criterion moderately well. Furthermore, the high error-free judgment achievements of most of our judges imply that there often is ro.

Successful decision making involves our ability to understand the intensions, emotions and beliefs of other people. An important feature of decision making in a social setting concern the interaction of areas and Social cognition is an integral part of social psychology, which deals with the psychological mechanisms that mediate the individual's responses to the social environment. Notable to social cognitive theories are the ideas which are applied and extended to many concepts, theories, models and paradigms from cognitive psychology in social context. This approach leads to remarkable progress in understanding of social scenario, people's decisions and also offers insights into social issues. It helps to understand reactions of people in social context. Decision making is just one of the many areas in which social cognition has an important role. Decision making is a complex cognitive skill. Social cognition attempts to explain the broad social aspects of human experience, such as how decision making are influenced by the presence of others as well as the social situations in which they find themselves. This article presents a fundamental idea of social cognitive perspective of decision making process and factors that influence our decisions. In our everyday life very often we seek for others opinions on a particular matter before come to any decision or even sometimes unconsciously we go with the flow of our surrounding while making choices. This is because decisions are not made independently, as each decision point is influenced by information that is received from the society where we live. The social context thus often exerts an influence on our decisions because we have or at least we think we will have to publicly justify our decisions to confirm moral and social norms. Hence, on the basis of such information which individuals acquire, store, process and act on from the environment decisions are made (Turpin and Marais 2006). This is the fundamental aspect of social cognition that deals with the psychological mechanisms to mediate the individual's responses in social settings and decision making is one of them.
