Stress and Tripping Points

Оглавление

Our human tendencies to think and act in non-rational ways are magnified under conditions of stress. When we experience situational stressors—financial pressures, peer pressure, personal relationship difficulties, illnesses, etc.—the research shows that we tend to make riskier choices (Kahneman, 2011). Thus, for example, it might be easy to know that we should maintain confidentiality, but more difficult to make that choice when we’re facing uncertain promotions, tenure decisions, raises, loss of income, entreaties from families, and so forth.
