The impact of hawkish biases on group decision-making processes

Abstract

The presence of hawkish biases, defined by a strong inclination towards confrontational and forceful techniques, significantly impacts the complexities of collective decision-making. The main objective of this study is to thoroughly analyze the influence of Hawkish biases on the mechanisms of collective decision-making. This research aims to determine the precise processes by which these biases influence group dynamics and eventually impact decision resultsThe technique involves a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, including empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, to examine Hawkish biases in collective decision-making. The findings suggest that adopting an aggressive approach often leads to unfavorable decision outcomes, including overreliance on inaccurate or insufficient information, preference for aggressive methods, and increased likelihood of internal discord and division within organizations. Furthermore, the research highlights several crucial aspects contributing to the durability of Hawkish biases throughout the decision-making process.
