Is it always the case that behaving more conservatively under pressure is a good thing? The author implies that 'taking big risks' and 'making real progress' are mutually exclusive.
- facepalm 12y agoThe first experiment they describe is one were taking more risks yielded the higher gains. Somehow they seem to have forgotten about their own experiment in the end.
- ripb 12y agoThe article does say "They found that the most stressed men drew 21 percent more cards from the risky decks than from the safe ones, compared to the most stressed women, losing more over all." I took this to refer to both "games", although I can see its ambiguity could mean only the latter or both.
