One night of sleep loss impairs innovative thinking and flexible decision making

Article Abstract:

Individuals whose tasks require flexible thinking are discouraged from incurring sleep loss beyond 32 to 36 hours, as it may adversely affect one's decision-making capacity. A research conducted on 10 graduate volunteers revealed that people who failed to sleep for more than 36 hours tend to be more prone to perseverative errors, while manifesting inability to adopt with updated situations. Although sleepless individuals did not show critical reasoning lapses, they exhibited rigid thinking, thereby leading to the deterioration of performance.

Group choice in ultimatum bargaining

Article Abstract:

Groups are more likely to adopt a rational perspective in creating ultimatum offers than a perspective that is based on fairness. A rational perspective involves the utilization of a framework that espouses that acceptance of any amount offered is better than nothing at all. The choice of a group's most competitive member tends to be highly influential in the creation of a group's ultimatum offer.
