There are a few time-honored methods for settling disputes: Good ol' fashion fisticuffs are a fairly noble method, but you get all hurt and bruisy and that's usually not a wise career move. Then there's always coin flipping, but that usually requires the presence of a coin, which can be annoying to carry around. And aside from arm wrestling, thumb wrestling, pulling straws, picking numbers, six-sided dice, twelve-sided dice, smartphone apps, foot races, video games, or—you know—talking it out, the only real way to settle a modern day quarrel is to play a respectable game of rock-paper-scissors.
In theory, if you're better at rock-paper-scissors than anyone else, you get your way more. And getting your way is usually a good thing. So, if you're interested in getting your way more, a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B might be of use to you.
