Alcohol and Decision-Making
LYGA, Michal
The bachelor thesis Alcohol and Decision-Making deals with various psychological theories exploring the influence of alcohol on the behavior and decision-making of an individual focusing on a phenomenon called Alcohol Myopia Effect (AME). The aim of this theoretical work is to describe from different points of view how alcohol affects the organism and the psyche of a man and how it changes his usual way of decision-making. The main part of the thesis is devoted to the AME theory which suggests that an intoxicated individual has a significantly narrowed his cognitive functions and thus important inhibiting cues are lost from his perception range and therefore may the individual behave in more risky or deviant way. The AME theory is discussed from several points of view and is compared with alternative theories examining the effects of alcohol on individual decision-making.
