Preferred term

Rational Choice Theory  

Definition(s)

  • Rational choice theory is an umbrella term for a variety of models explaining social phenomena as outcomes of individual action that can in some way be construed as rational. “Rational behavior” is behavior that is suitable for the realization of specific goals, given the limitations imposed by the situation. [Source: Theory in Social and Cultural Anthropology: An Encyclopedia; Rational Choice Theory]
