Popis: I. L. Janis and L. Mann's (1977) model was used to study the relationship of naturally occurring life stress and private body consciousness (PBC; L. Miller, R. Murphy, & A. Buss, 1981) to decision making. Students (N=61) performed an analogies task developed by G. Keinan (1987). Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that performance quality could be explained byaversive life event stress, PBC, state anxiety, and their interaction. The greater the state anxiety, the poorer the performance. For low PBC individuals there was little relationship between life stress and decision quality or strategies
