Based on literature views, and according to event characteristics and task requirements, referees can be divided into such 3 types as interaction type, monitoring type and reaction type; factors that affect referee decision making in-clude subject factors (referees), object factors (athletes) and competition environments; subject factors include refe-ree stamina, refereeing experience, sports experience and emotion condition, object factors include athlete gender, nationality, height, team uniform color and player (team) reputation, competition environments include pregame de-cision making, competition participation order and field noise. Researches on referee decision making mainly fo-cused on collective court competition type events, i.e. mostly on interaction type referee decision making, while re-searches on monitoring type referee decision making were relatively few. Researches henceforward should be ex-panded to more events. Researches on referee decision making still stayed at the behavior study level, in the future researches on referee cognition intervention training should be intensified.
