In this article, we contrast the two dominant approaches to studying complex problem solving, the North American and the European approaches. We present a definition of complex problem solving and describe a theoretical framework that accommodates the theoretical and empirical strides that have been made in understanding complex problem solving thus far, and may serve as a guide for future research. We discuss the dominant methodological approaches that have been employed to study complex problem solving, and offer our own recommendations on which of the various approaches might be the most promising one. abstract_translated_lang: eng date: 1995 date_type: published id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00008200 schriftenreihe_cluster_id: sr-1 schriftenreihe_order: 060 ppn_swb: 1347488243 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-82005 language: rus bibsort: FUNKEJOACHCOMPLEXPRO1995 full_text_status: public publication: Foreign Psychology volume: 5 pagerange: 42-47 citation: Funke, Joachim ; Frensch, Peter (1995) Complex problem solving research in North America and Europe: An integrative review.
