Overestimating Resource Value and Its Effects on Fighting Decisions
Much work in behavioral ecology has shown that animals fight over resources such as food, and that they make strategic decisions about when to engage in such fights. Here, we examine the evolution of one, heretofore unexamined, component of that strategic decision about whether to fight for a resource. We present the results of a computer simulation that examined the evolution of over- or under...
متن کاملOverestimating Comparative Value 1 RUNNING HEAD: Overestimating Comparative Value Consuming Experience: Why and When Affective Forecasters Overestimate Comparative Value
The hedonic value of an outcome can be influenced by the alternatives to which it is compared, which is why people expect to be happier with outcomes that maximize comparative value (e.g., a job that pays them $45,000 and pays others $40,000) than with outcomes that maximize absolute value (e.g., a job that pays them $50,000 and pays others $55,000). Eight experiments showed that affective fore...
متن کاملEffects of fighting decisions on formation and structure of dominance hierarchies
The characteristics of complex social systems often cannot be predicted from exploring individual agonistic interactions in isolation. In a series of models, this study linked the decision-making processes that govern dyadic interactions with the emergent properties of hierarchical structures in social groups. Contrary to the intuitive expectation that resolution of ambiguities in fighting betw...
متن کاملVoluntary Sleep Choice and Its Effects on Bayesian Decisions.
This study examines whether voluntary sleep restriction at commonly experienced levels impacts decision making in a Bayesian choice task. Participants recruited were largely traditional age college students from a regional state university (n = 100) and a federal military academy (n = 99; n = 56 and 43, respectively, used in final analysis). Sleep was measured by actigraphy over a one-week peri...
