Associations and Use

Defining and finding the best possible compromise is an important problem in fields like votingsystem. For example, the Modified Borda Countseeks to identify which of several options has the highest average preference among voters. [1]

Research has indicated that suboptimal compromises are often the result of fallacies such as the Fixed Sum Errorand the Incompatibility Error, leading to the misperception that the other side's interests are directly opposed. Mutally better outcomes can be found by careful investigation of both parties' interests. [2]
