Abstract: We deal with the broadly perceived decision making and control in a human centric context, that is, when the human being is a key elements, and his/her judgments, assessments and evaluations play an important role. The solutions obtained by using some mathematical modeling, decision analytic and control tools and techniques should be transparent, explainable and trustworthy to the human agent(s)s involved, and hence easier acceptable and implementable. We present an approach in which in the models considered the reflection of some human specific characteristocs is advocated, notably some cognitive biases which are some deviations from what traditional models, usually based on the utility maximization, postulate, and which are often followed by humans. After a brief review of main cognitive biases, we concentrate on the status quo bias, i.e. a tendency to defend and bolster the status quo, and avoid changes, and illustrate it use in a control model of regional agricultural development.
