Allison, and the Cognitive Model offered by Alexander L.
George, Robert Jervis, John D. Steinbruner, and Jack L. Snyder,
the author studies the U.S. decision-making process during

thesis. In Chapter One, the author explains her research
motives, purposes and approaches. She also explains the
limitations she has faced during the process of the research.
In the first section of Chapter Two, the author describes the
definition of crisis as well as reviews the theoretical studies
concerning the crisis behavior. In the second and third
sections, the author analyzes respectively the Rational Actor
Paradigm and the Cognitive Model. In Chapter Three, the author
explains the U.S. decision- making process during 1954-55
Taiwan Strait Crisis in terms of the Rational Actor Model.
Besides, she subjects the chosen options to the tests of the
strategies for crisis management constructed by Glenn H. Snyder
and Paul Diesing in order to prove the rational choice is value-
maximizing. In the first section of Chapter Four, the author
explores the misperceptions American policymakers held toward
the Communist China. In the second section, the author points
out the role of the cognitive principles of management of
incon- sistency in structuring the decisionmakers'' conception
of their environment under conditions of uncertainty. In the
third section, the author highlights how the decisionmakers
resort to defensive psychological modes of coping with the
emotional stress of being confronted by crisis situation. In
Chapter Five, the author concludes by stating the theories-
testing results in the case of U.S. decision-making process
during 1954-55 Taiwan Strait Crisis.
