Family Policy: The Rational Choice Framework Zimmerman, S. L. (1995). The rational choice framework. In S. L. Zimmerman, Understanding family policy (2nd ed., pp. 104-118). Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications.

Dr. Ronald J. Werner-Wilson Assumptions All values relevant to a situation are known. The context of the choice is known and understood. Context includes Social factors, economic factors, cultural factors, historical factors. The context determines the range of alternatives that are considered in selecting a course of action. Calculation of a net value ratio involves application of the same values and principles to each alternative to its consequences. Choice is based on the highest net value ratio. Choices require sacrifices from some people. Dr. Ronald J. Werner-Wilson

Alternative Health Care Reform Strategies and their Goals Options: The single payer approach: one entity such as the federal government would be the insurer. Multiple payer approach: combination of private and government insurance. State-based reform: states implement their own approach to insurance reform. Continuation of existing arrangements. Evaluation Process: A “citizens jury” was selected to evaluate the options. This includes 24 people randomly selected. This jury recommended the single payer approach because it had the highest net value ratio based on universal access, comprehensiveness of benefits, cost containment, individual rights, equitable treatment, administrative simplicity. Government officials ignored this recommendation and pursued a multiple payer approach. Dr. Ronald J. Werner-Wilson

Critiquing the Rational Choice Model There are limits to the resources available for collecting information to analyze. Information is not always used: it is often actively ignored. Personal and professional motivation may impair rational choice. Some alternatives are ambiguous or outcomes are unknown. Dr. Ronald J. Werner-Wilson

Dr. Ronald J. Werner-Wilson Discussion Questions What are the implications of a rational choice approach to family policy? How do you make decisions? Critique the assumptions of the rational choice framework. What is a net value ratio? Dr. Ronald J. Werner-Wilson
