Abstract in brief
When people are unsure between options, they might flip a coin or use random aids, which influence their feelings about the options rather than directly guiding their choice.
The act of focusing on one option, facilitated by these aids, amplifies vivid mental images and emotional responses, making individuals feel stronger about what they want or dislike.
The studies show that using such decision catalysts intensifies feelings of certainty and satisfaction, suggesting these aids don't just help decide but actually enhance emotional reactions related to the decision-making process.]

You know that old trick of flipping a coin to make a decision you are unclear about - only to realize what you really want when the coin is spinning in the air? This paper shows that it works. Coin flips catalyze good decision-making by revealing feelings. https://t.co/ZRn0z7BZM4 https://t.co/givss1rCeD
I study behavioral science and here's one surprising tip to help indecisive people (like myself!) make decisions.

You may recall @StevenDLevitt’s famous large scale coin flip experiment (https://t.co/04SmYH33Uc). New research suggests that one reasons coin flips can be a catalyst to decision-making is that they activate a *feeling*—like/dislike—about its suggestion: https://t.co/IZGk8RRgaS https://t.co/7xQaH39p8g

On the subject of using a coin to make decisions, https://t.co/7IdZCnZeF2 found that looking at the results for flipping a coin often made people feel pleased or disappointed with a result, even if they hadn't previously felt strongly one way or the other.

@natbrunell Flip a coin, call it in the air.
The side of the coin you instantly hope is revealed is your gut instinct.
All of this happens before the coin hits your hand.

@e1n You are been used as a coin flip.
When you cannot decide, you toss a coin. Once you have a certain outcome, you decide based on how much you regret that outcome.
Next time somebody asks you to choose, toss a coin for them. Maybe they'll get the idea.

@JeremyRubin @brian_trollz @LukeDashjr True, the best part of a coinflip is that you don't have to abide by it: https://t.co/hdcZ1vui6J
Anyway, it's all a distraction from the fact that Bitcoin doesn't need to rely on miners to error correct.

@Karminker @briandvickers There's actually been some recent research on this phenomenon!
1) https://t.co/k97717Rz0g
2) The loss aversion possibility is interesting, but in some data sets, "25% were satisfied, 25% were relieved, 21% were disappointed..." (Jaffe et al, 2020, p. 569)

@groovydao No sé si has visto alguno de estos estudios de gente resolviendo dilemas a cara y cruz, que quedan más satisfechos resolviendo la cuestión así que por sí mismos.
Supongo que tu hexagrama puede ayudar de manera parecida (y si de camino te da pasta, ¡bravo!)
