A trilemma is a difficult choice from three options, each of which is (or appears) unacceptable or unfavourable. There are two logically equivalent ways in which to express a trilemma: it can be expressed as a choice among three unfavourable options, one of which must be chosen, or as a choice among three favourable options, only two of which are possible at the same time.
Either situation may or may not prove to be satisfying and lasting. In history, three leaders have sometimes attempted to share political power in a triumvirate, with little long-term success. On the other hand, groups of three can be very stable if there is a leader and two followers, such as a family of a single parent and two children.
Example: Three voters {1,2,3} and three states {x,y,z}. Given the three states, there are 13 logically possible orderings (allowing for ties).* Since each of the individuals may hold any of the orderings, there are 13*13*13 = 2197 possible "votes" (sets of orderings). A well-defined social-decision rule selects the social state (or states, in ...
When there are many options and the choice that one makes is disappointing, the individual is responsible. [21] However, a recent meta-analysis of the literature on choice overload calls such studies into question. [22] In many cases, researchers have found no effect of choice set size on people's beliefs, feelings, and behavior.
Well-being is what is ultimately good for a person. Also called prudential value and welfare, it is a measure of how good a person's life is going for them, both in a positive and a negative sense. [1] In its positive sense, well-being is sometimes contrasted with ill-being as its opposite. [2]
The three options do have the same characteristics in each of the items. One option maximizes the outcome for the self, a second option maximizes the sum of the outcomes for the self and the other (joint outcome), and the third option maximizes the relative gain (i.e. the difference between the outcome for the self and the outcome for the other).
Fit: While ordering each pair of slippers, we noted the size range available, as well as if there are half sizes and/or multiple width options. Once the shoes arrived, we assessed whether they fit ...
One approach, called the engaged theory, outlined in the journal of Applied Research in the Quality of Life, posits four domains in assessing quality of life: ecology, economics, politics and culture. [6] In the domain of culture, for example, it includes the following subdomains of quality of life: Beliefs and ideas; Creativity and recreation
