- More about Preference Change
Decision theory has traditionally assumed static preferences, but recent research has acknowledged the reality of preference change throughout life. This element provides an introduction to the debates on preference change and presents models of preference change, including a novel proposal. It also discusses how we can rationally choose a course of action when our preferences change, drawing from both the transformative experience literature and recent work on choosing for changing selves.

Decision theory has long examined the rational choices of humans, assuming static preferences. However, human preferences evolve over time. In recent years, decision theory has recognized the prevalence of preference change throughout life. This Element offers an accessible introduction to the debates on preference change and presents fresh contributions. It is structured into three chapters. In the first chapter, the authors explore the concept of preference change and discuss its integration into decision theory. The second chapter presents models of preference change, including a novel proposal. The third and final chapter examines how individuals can rationally choose a course of action when preferences may alter. The transformative experience literature and recent work on choosing for changing selves are also discussed.
