==PFC vs FFFF==
===Influence of FFFF ===
One of the main effectors on decision making is a cognitive mechanism that work when a threat is perceived. This reaction which is named Fight or Flight<ref>Cannon WB, 1932, The wisdom of the body, New York, Norton</ref>, or in it's current name [[FFFF|Freeze, Flight, Fight or Fright]]<ref>[http://psy.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/45/5/448 S. Bracha at al, 2004, Does "Fight or Flight" Need Updating?, Psychosomatics 45:448-449, October]</ref>. seems to influence decisions. FFFF influence decisions in several aspects:
# Reduce [[Explorers and Doers|exploring]] mode, and heighten [[Explorers and Doers|doing]] mode.
By making deliberation more efficient, people with FFFF mode, will feel that the decisions are less time consuming and produce decisions that help the group act in a unify way, and with more strength (something FFFF decision making mechanism, prefer).
Another way to help promote deliberation, is to see the deliberative as a game, and less as somthing something the group has to rely upon, when triyng trying to make decisions. This attitude may reduce pressure, and mat lead to more relaxed decisions.
