要旨:
Judgements and decisions in many political, economic or medical contexts
are often made while sleep deprived. Furthermore, in such contexts
individuals are required to integrate information provided by - more or
less qualified - advisors. We asked if sleep deprivation affects advice
taking. We conducted a 2 (sleep deprivation: yes vs. no) x 2 (competency
of advisor: medium vs. high) experimental study to examine the effects
of sleep deprivation on advice taking in an estimation task. We compared
participants with one night of total sleep deprivation to participants
with a night of regular sleep. Competency of advisor was manipulated
within subjects. We found that sleep deprived participants show
increased advice taking. An interaction of condition and competency of
advisor and further post-hoc analyses revealed that this effect was more
pronounced for the medium competency advisor compared to the high
competency advisor. Furthermore, sleep deprived participants benefited
more from an advisor of high competency in terms of stronger improvement
in judgmental accuracy than well-rested participants.
