ABSTRACT
This study examined the
influence that the mere presence of others (i.e., non-interactive) has on the decision-making speed of
individuals. The study compared four conditions: a
participant executing a given task by himself or herself, or with another person next to him or her and executing the same task
either quickly, at a normal speed, or at a slow speed. The results of these
comparisons showed that when the other person made decisions quickly, a
participant’s decision-making sped up to align with that of the other person.
Interestingly, even when a participant’s decision-making speed was accelerated under the
influence of the other person’s decision-making speed, there appeared to be no
difference in the participant’s degree of satisfaction with the results,
compared to when making decisions at his or her own pace. Furthermore, the
study results showed that the physical presence of another person was essential
to transmitting decision-making speed: transmission did not occur after
attempts were made to manipulate speed solely through the use of artificial
sound.
