Abstract Details

2014, Bachelor of Arts, Marietta College, Psychology.
Group-decision making increases stress levels in a group (Mullen & Roth, 1991). The current study examined the effects of group stress levels with and without an assigned (trained) leader through the Iowa Gambling Task. Groups were measured on task efficiency, cortisol levels, and emotional status. Assigned leader groups were expected to show less stress than non-assigned leader groups. Results showed a significant effect between having an assigned leader and the decision-making behaviors of the group.
