Researchers at the University of Michigan, led by psychology professor Richard E. Nisbett, recruited three groups of people based on age. One was 25-to-40 years old, one was 41-to-59 years old, and one was 60-plus years old. Each group was presented with fictional reports regarding foreign countries, and then was tasked with determining what the resolution would be. Their answers were then graded by researchers, who had no knowledge of the age range each respondent was part of. According to the Associated Press (AP), "Ratings were based on things like searching for compromise, flexibility, taking others' perspective and searching for conflict resolution." <<< <a href="http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1845692/older_really_is_wiser_study_suggests/" target="_blank">http://www.redorbit.com/news/h...uggests/</a>
