By failing to take into account the essential features of the political context, all three major competing approaches to decision-making, analytical, cognitive, and motivated, exhibit serious deficiences in explaining decisionmaking behavior in the political arena. In particular, failure to understand the decision-maker's perception of the constraints of the political context may result in labelling as error or distortion behavior which is quite reasonable when viewed from the perspective of that context. In order to remedy these deficiencies, psychological theories about decision-making processes must be combined with the insights of political scientists into the nature of the political process to develop a specifically political theory of decision-making. Such a genuinely interdisciplinary collaboration between political science and psychology could result in a theory of political decision-making which truly belongs in the realm of political cognition
