text: Having more/different opinions to choose from is good for decision making because that person has more options to pick and choose from. For example, if one person went to three different people for advice and they all said completely different things, that one individual could personally choose which one is right for them. If they just got one opinion, that doesn't give them many options to figure out their problem. Different options would be good for the person that wants the advice. They would be good because then that person can get an insight on what other people would do in that situation. After asking all the people for their opinions, this person could then go home and make a pros and cons list of all of the opinions. Asking others how they feel emotionally in that situation is good too for the person seeking the advice.
