Decision-Making to Goal-Setting Bridge¶
Specification¶
The full specification below is extracted from Chapter 14: Health Decision-Making and Goal-Setting.
Type: graph-model
**sim-id:** decision-to-goal-bridge<br/>
**Library:** vis-network<br/>
**Status:** Specified
Bloom Taxonomy: Understand<br/>
Bloom Taxonomy Verb: compare, exemplify
Learning objective: Explain how each step of the DECIDE decision-making
model maps onto an equivalent step of the goal-setting process, showing
goal-setting as decision-making applied repeatedly over time.
Node types: Two parallel chains of six nodes each — top chain "Decision-
Making Steps" (Define, Explore, Consider, Identify, Decide, Evaluate);
bottom chain "Goal-Setting Steps" (Evaluate Focus Area, Explore Process
Type, Formulate Strategies, Choose Strategy, Act on Plan, Evaluate
Outcomes).
Edge types: A horizontal "maps to" edge connecting each top node to its
corresponding bottom node (e.g., "Define" maps to "Evaluate Focus Area";
"Explore" maps to "Explore Process Type"; "Consider" and "Identify" map to
"Formulate Strategies" and "Choose Strategy"; "Decide" maps to "Act on
Plan"; "Evaluate" maps to "Evaluate Outcomes").
Sample data: Clicking any "maps to" edge opens an infobox explaining the
parallel in one sentence, e.g., "Just as you first Define a decision, you
first must Evaluate which health focus area actually deserves a goal."
Layout: Two horizontal rows, decision-making on top, goal-setting on
bottom, aligned in columns.
Interactive features: Hover a node for its definition; click a connecting
edge for the mapping explanation; zoom and pan enabled.
Visual styling: Top row in the six DECIDE colors from the earlier diagram;
bottom row in matching shades one tone lighter, visually pairing each step.
Legend: "Decision-making step" vs. "Goal-setting step," with the mapping
edges explained as "same underlying skill, applied over time."
Implementation: vis-network with a fixed two-row hierarchical layout.
