We reconsider the spin model suggested recently to understand some features of collective decision making among higher organisms [A.T. Hartnett et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116 (2016) 038701]. Within the model, the state of an agent is described by the pair of variables corresponding to its opinion and a bias towards any of the opposing opinions. Collective decision making is interpreted within the non-linear voter model subject to social pressure. Here, we push such physical analogy further and give the statistical physics interpretation of the model via explicit calculation of its partition function. In such interpretation, the temperature serves as a measure of fluctuations that were not taken into account within the original formulation. We find exact solutions for the thermodynamics and dynamics of the model on the complete graph. We discuss the advantages and flaws of such an approach as well as its utility in understanding the impact of population heterogeneity, type of local interaction and fluctuations in collective decision making [arxiv.org/abs/2302.12945].
