The Great Debate: Cooperation vs. Competition in Teams  Curious about whether cooperation or competition drives better performance in teams? A recent study sheds light on this debate with fascinating insights and clear metrics! Key Findings: 1. Performance Boost: Both cooperation and competition enhance individual performance. However, cooperation achieves this without the added stress. 2. Stress Levels: Competing with a skilled opponent increases stress and heart rate significantly. On the other hand, cooperation maintains a healthier stress level. 3. Long-Term Effects: Over time, cooperation consistently supports high performance with lower psychological costs, while competition’s stress impact persists.  Metrics: • Performance: Comparable improvements in both settings. • Stress: 20% higher stress levels in competitive scenarios. • Heart Rate: Notably higher in competition, indicating increased physiological strain. In essence, while competition can drive performance, cooperation does so more sustainably, promoting well-being and efficiency in the long run.
