Abstract
Given the importance of the dual process theory (DPT) in understanding human decision-making cognition, this study proposes a theoretical integration of DPT and dichotomies/dualities studies in Information Systems (IS) for the further extension of DPT and IS adoption theories. The criticisms of DPT, weak ties between two domains, and contradictory findings in existing studies are identified as the main challenges of this integration. To deal with these challenges, principles and a framework for theoretical integration (i.e., a quantitative and qualitative research synthesis) are developed. Based on a narrative review and expert opinion, a mapping between dichotomies or dualities-related constructs and the dual cognitive systems can be created. Regarding a quantitative synthesis, results across relevant studies will be statistically aggregated and competing models will then be tested using meta-analytic structural equation modeling and survey data. This integration is an useful attempt to construct a grand cognitive theory of human decision making.
