Pasage Two
Questios 51 to 55 re based on the ollowing passage.
If you've ever s ted a sentence wih, " If I were you ..." or found yorself scratching yor head
t a colleague's agony over a decision when he nswer is crystal-cler, here's a scientiic reason
behind it. r own decision-mking abilities cn become depleted over he corse of he day causing
indecision or poor choices, but choosing on behalf of someone else is n ejoyable task hat doesn't
l
sufer he sme pitfals.
The problem is "decision aigue," a psychological phenomenon ht tkes a toll on he qualiy
of yor choices aer a long day of decision mking, says Evn Polmn, a leading psychologist.
Physicins who have been on he job or several hors, or exmple, re more likely to prescribe
ntibiotics to paients when it's unwise to do so. "Pres mably it's becuse it's simple nd easy to write
a prescripion and consider a paient case closed rahr hn invesigate hr, " Polmn says.
But decision aigue goes awy when you re mking he decision or someone else. When
people imagine hemselves as advisers nd imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else,
hey eel less tired nd rely less on decision shortcts to mke hose choices. "By ting pon he
role of adviser raher hn decision mker, one does not sufer he consequences of decision atigue,"
he says. "It's as if hre's somehing n nd liberating about mking someone else's choice."
Getting inpt rom ohers not only ofers a resh perspective nd thought process, it oten also
includes riskier choices. While his sonds undesirble, t cn be quite good, says Polmn. " When
people experience decision atigue-when hey re tired of mking choices-hey have a tendency to
choose to go wih he ( ..) ," he says. "But he status quo cn be problematic, since a
chnge in the course of action cn sometimes be mpo nt nd lead to a positive outcome."
In order to achieve a successul outcome or rewrd, some level of risk is almost always essential.
"People who re susceptible to decision aigue will likely choose to do nohing over somehing," he
sys. "That's not to sy hat risk is awys good, but it is related to tking action, whereas decision
atigue assredly leads to inaction nd he possible ( •tJ!:·�) of a decision mker who might
oherwise preer a new corse but is unortunately hindered."
Just because you cn mke good choices or ohrs doesn't men you'll do he same for yorself,
Polmn cautions. "Reserch has ound hat women negotite higher salries or ohers hn hey do
or hemselves," he says, adding ht people slip in nd out of decision roles.
