Thank you to everyone who joined us for An Evening with Richard Dawkins and Nicholas Epley at @chicagosymphony last Sunday. A memorable evening marking 50 years of The Selfish Gene.
🙌 Special thanks to @WBEZ, @UClubChicago & @howtoacademy for helping make this event possible!
What really motivates young people to make better decisions? And how can behavioral science help us design programs that truly work in the real world? #BehavioralScience
Today’s Behavioral Science Workshop featured David Yeager (@UTAustin), who presented "Insights from the science of motivating young people.”
Drawing on evidence from public health, education, and workplace settings, Yeager explored how theory-informed behavioral science can
move from the lab into authentic field experiments to create interventions that are both practical and impactful.

How do we know when to trust our own decisions?
Yesterday at our #behavioralscience Workshop, Dobromir Rahnev @DobyRahnev (@GTSciences) presented "How the mind computes confidence."
He shared research on the surprisingly simple computations behind confidence in multi-alternative decisions, showing when confidence tracks accuracy, and when it systematically fails.

How well do we really understand other people? #BehavioralScience
Research coauthored by @ChicagoBooth’s Nicholas Epley shows that trying to adopt another person’s perspective does not necessarily improve interpersonal understanding.
In fact, directly asking people about their perspective is far more effective.
