Question

Researcher Thompson and her colleagues found that winners and losers evaluated their own outcomes equally when they did not know how well the other party had done, but if they found out that the other negotiator had done better, or was even pleased with his or her outcome, then negotiators felt less positive about their own outcome.
a) true
b) false

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The statement is true, as evaluating one's own performance is quite easy, whether I performed good or bad, it is natural to know that.

But, when you know that the competitors have also performed really well, then we think that there are less chances of getting selected because then we doubt on our own capabilities.

This is a normal human tendency that happens and thus, the statement here is true.
