A study has shown that while older adults treat their kin and friends the same as younger adults do, the elderly donate more to strangers than younger adults, even when their generosity is unlikely to be reciprocated. ...

"Greater generosity was observed among senior citizens possibly because as people become older, their values shift away from purely personal interests to more enduring sources of meaning found in their communities," explained Assistant Professor Yu Rongjun, who led the study.

    <title>Sleepless and selfish: Lack of sleep makes us less generous</title>

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[[FROM THE ARTICLE]
Humans help each other -- it's one of the foundations of civilized society. But a new study by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, reveals that a lack of sleep blunts this fundamental human attribute, with real-world consequences. ...

"We're starting to see more and more studies, including this one, where the effects of sleep loss don't just stop at the individual, but propagate to those around us," said Ben Simon. "If you're not getting enough sleep, it doesn't just hurt your own well-being, it hurts the well-being of your entire social circle, including strangers." ...

The new report describes three separate studies that assessed the impact of sleep loss on people's willingness to help others. In the first study, the scientists placed 24 healthy volunteers in a functional magnetic resonance imager (fMRI) to scan their brains after eight hours of sleep and after a night of no sleep. They found that areas of the brain that form the theory of mind network, which is engaged when people empathize with others or try to understand other people's wants and needs ... "was markedly impaired when individuals were sleep deprived. It's as though these parts of the brain fail to respond when we are trying to interact with other people after not getting enough sleep." [Ben Simon said.]

In a second study, they tracked more than 100 people online over three or four nights. During this time, the researchers measured the quality of their sleep -- how long they slept, how many times they woke up ...
"Here, we found that a decrease in the quality of someone's sleep from one night to the next predicted a significant decrease in the desire to help other people from one subsequent day to the next," Ben Simon said. "Those with poor sleep the night prior were the ones that reported being less willing and keen to help others the following day."

The third part of the study involved mining a database of 3 million charitable donations in the United States between 2001 and 2016. Did the number of donations change after the transition to Daylight Saving Time and the potential loss of an hour of sleep? They found a 10% drop in donations. This same dent in compassionate gift-giving was not seen in regions of the country that did not change their clocks. ...[EDITORIAL: I think this research has been questioned and the effect diminished substantially later in the week.]

An earlier study by Walker and Ben Simon showed that sleep deprivation forced people to socially withdraw and become more socially isolated. A lack of sleep also increased their feelings of loneliness. Worse still, when those sleep-deprived individuals interacted with other people, they spread their loneliness to those other individuals, almost like a virus, Walker said. ...

"Sleep, it turns out, is an incredible lubricant to prosocial, connected, empathic, kind and generous human behavior. In these divisive times, if there was ever a need for a strong, prosocial lubricant to enable the very best version of ourselves within society, now seems to be it," said Walker, author of the international bestseller, Why We Sleep. "Sleep may be a wonderful ingredient that enables the alacrity of helping between human beings."

[FROM THE ARTICLE]
The fundamental attribution error is when we assume people’s personality explains their behaviour and forget about the situation they are in. ...

If you saw the trainee priest stepping over the moaning man, what would you think?
Perhaps time for them to switch to a career in investment banking?

Maybe, but in the light of the fundamental attribution error it’s probably unfair on the priest (and the investment bankers) because we all of us have situational pressures on us that can easily drown out the influence of our personalities (see also the bystander effect).

‘Bad’ actions don’t necessarily mean ‘bad’ people just as ‘good’ actions don’t issue forth solely from ‘good’ people, or so the fundamental attribution error suggests.

    <title>Why Human Might Help Strangers</title>
    <dc:date>2024-03-01T06:04:59+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4335183/</link>
    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[[FROM THE ARTICLE]
It can be shown that, despite our evolutionary heritage, humans are able to identify interactions where helping is likely to yield a return benefit (e.g., by identifying kin, by predicting when behavior is likely to be observed or not, or when interactions are likely to be repeated)—and adjust behavior accordingly (Fehr and Henrich, 2003). For example, various studies have shown that people recognize and preferentially help kin over non-kin (Barber, 1994; Gurven, 2004); that we cooperate more when investments are public rather than anonymous (e.g., Milinski et al., 2002; Andreoni and Petrie, 2004; Soetevent, 2005; Lamba and Mace, 2010); and that we cooperate less when interactions will not be repeated or will end soon (e.g., Gächter and Falk, 2002; Gächter et al., 2008). Moreover, recent work has suggested that while people may use heuristics from daily life to guide cooperative decision making, these heuristics can be rapidly updated to reflect the conditions imposed in the artificial lab setting (Rand et al., 2012, 2014). In fact even fish are apparently able to adjust levels of cooperation to the likelihood of repeated interactions (Oates et al., 2010). Thus, critics of the big mistake hypothesis have good arguments that humans do have the cognitive machinery to detect when an interaction is likely to yield direct return benefits, and to adjust behavior accordingly.

If, as seems likely, interactions with strangers probably did exist in our evolutionary history, why do humans have a psychology that seems geared towards cooperating in these contexts, given that the short-term, payoff-maximizing approach is apparently to defect under such conditions?

In 2015, Stanford University carried out an experiment with their students and a control group in which the former carried out five weekly acts of kindness, from buying food for the less fortunate, to helping someone with their homework. Over a six-week period the students reported higher levels of happiness than the other group, suggesting that being altruistic can actually make us happier. ...

Again, Lyubomirsky reports on the benefits of kindness. “Recent experiment showed that doing acts of kindness for others leads to changes in immune cell gene expression associated with disease resistance,” she reveals. ...

There is evidence to suggest we are hard-wired for kindness. Charles Darwin is often remembered for the “survival of the fittest” theory of evolution (he never used that phrase) but in The Descent of Man he argued that we are a caring and social species, that we are instinctively interested in each other and have a natural sympathy for each other.

[FROM THE ARTICLE]
In my view, pure altruism is rooted in empathy. Empathy is sometimes described as the ability to see things from another person’s perspective. But in its deepest sense, empathy is the ability to feel, not just to imagine, what others are experiencing. It is the ability to actually enter the mind space of another person (or being) so that you can sense their feelings and emotions. In this way, empathy can be seen as the source of compassion and altruism.

Empathy creates a connection that enables us to feel compassion. We can sense the suffering of others and this gives rise to to an impulse to alleviate their suffering, which in turn gives rise to altruistic acts. Because we can feel with other people, we are motivated to help them when they are in need. ...

When people expand their notion of the 'in-group' they are more likely to reach out to those in the 'other camp.' ...


The results of the second study are fascinating in terms of their implications. The results indicate that when people are encouraged to see social category boundaries at a more inclusive level — all football fans, versus fans of one team — they will extend help to more individuals. Even in a country in which bitter intergroup rivalry exists between fans of one football team and another, when people expand their notion of the “in-group” they are more likely to reach out to those in the “other camp.”

One noteworthy strength of this research is that it offers an analysis of actual helping behavior rather than “beliefs about” or “intentions” to act. Evidence of dramatic shifts in such behavior across deeply entrenched antagonisms in response to simple changes in levels of categorization is striking. ...

[QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE]
A study we conducted, led by psychologist Will Gervais, found widespread and extreme moral prejudice against atheists around the world. Across all continents, people assumed that those who committed immoral acts, even extreme ones such as serial murder, were more likely to be atheists. ...

When researchers ask people to report on their own behaviors and attitudes, religious individuals claim to be more altruistic, compassionate, honest, civic and charitable than nonreligious ones. Even among twins, more religious siblings describe themselves are being more generous.
But when we look at actual behavior, these differences are nowhere to be found.

Researchers have now looked at multiple aspects of moral conduct, from charitable giving and cheating in exams to helping strangers in need and cooperating with anonymous others.

In a classical experiment known as the “Good Samaritan Study,” researchers monitored who would stop to help an injured person lying in an alley. They found that religiosity played no role in helping behavior, even when participants were on their way to deliver a talk on the parable of the good Samaritan.

This finding has now been confirmed in numerous laboratory and field studies. Overall, the results are clear: No matter how we define morality, religious people do not behave more morally than atheists, although they often say (and likely believe) that they do.

On the other hand, religious reminders do have a documented effect on moral behavior.

Studies conducted among American Christians, for example, have found that participants donated more money to charity and even watched less porn on Sundays. However, they compensated on both accounts during the rest of the week. As a result, there were no differences between religious and nonreligious participants on average. ...]]></description>

Summary:
New research found that social influencers are unlikely to change a person's behavior by example. To stimulate a shift in people's thinking, target small groups of people in the outer edge or fringe of a network.
[QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE]

"When social influencers present ideas that are dissonant with their followers' worldviews -- say, for example, that vaccination is safe and effective -- they can unintentionally antagonize the people they are seeking to persuade because people typically only follow influencers whose ideas confirm their beliefs about the world," says Damon Centola, Elihu Katz Professor of Communication, Sociology, and Engineering at Penn, and senior author on the paper.

So what strategy do we take if we want to use an online or real world neighborhood network to 'plant' a new idea? Is there anyone in a social network who is effective at transmitting new beliefs? The new study delivers a surprising answer: yes, and it's the people you'd least expect to have any pull. To stimulate a shift in thinking, target small groups of people in the "outer edge" or fringe of a network. ...

"Dozens of algorithms that are currently used by enterprises seeking to spread new ideas are based on the fallacy that everything spreads virally," says Centola. "But this study shows that the ability for information to pass through a social network depends on what type of information it is." ...

"Our big discovery," Centola added, "is that every network has a hidden social cluster in the outer edges that is perfectly poised to increase the spread of a new idea by several hundred percent. These social clusters are ground zero for triggering tipping points in society." ...]]></description>

... The data prove that a culture of recognition — both managers and peers recognizing each other and saying “thanks for the good work” — goes a long way toward increasing loyalty, mitigating burnout and making people feel valued. ...

Workers who are thanked for their work have lower turnover, even high performers and people high in the organization. It’s just human nature to enjoy someone saying “thank you.” ...

When somebody receives more than five formal “thank you” moments in a year, their propensity to leave is cut in half, from about 15% to 7%. If they receive up to 12 moments of recognition per year from a manager or peer, that goes down to 2%. (Social recognition systems track this data and quantify its value.) ...

Consider the savings in turnover costs alone and you wonder why leaders aren’t taking time every day to express thanks, loyalty and appreciation. ... Recognition builds trust and tighter relationships, which in turn streamline teamwork and information-sharing. 

Research shows that people who have been thanked recently rank high in feelings of psychological safety. That benefits other goals like inclusion and belonging. This works both ways – just expressing thanks makes employees feel more positive and engaged. They step out of their professional armor and even become a little vulnerable when they say “thank you.”

While leaders must initiate cultural changes like public recognition for a job well done, a culture of recognition really takes off when every employee picks up the habit. As a result, an organization will retain positive people that are impactful and innovative because they are happy and connected to the humans around them. The network effect of appreciation has the same properties as other networks as it becomes habit: Thanks begets more thanks, which fuels positivity. ...

Train your managers to express appreciation by doing away with the annual performance review and changing to continuous feedback conversations, as IBM has done. ]]></description>

[QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE]
Scientists have conducted more than 400 clinical drug trials over the last 14 years searching for a pharmaceutical cure [for Alzheimer’s disease]. All have failed. ...

The lack of progress in developing an effective drug, or a combination of drugs, that will treat the disease once it arises suggests that we’ve been looking at this problem in the wrong way. Instead, effective therapies may require systemic approaches based on the principles of science-driven wellness. 

For instance, Michael Phelps, a UCLA biophysicist and the inventor of the PET scan (the technology that produces images of disease changes in the body), has found that some of the chemical changes in the brain as a person moves from wellness to Alzheimer’s disease occur from four to 10 years before any clinical diagnosis could be made. It should be possible to develop a blood test through clinical trials that can detect blood biomarkers reflecting those brain changes at a very early stage in the transition to illness. With such information, patients could begin treatment long before the disease has reached its traditional diagnosable stage.

One researcher, Dale Bredesen, for example, has focused on a systems approach to stabilizing the synaptic connections between nerve cells that are lost in this disease. He has begun studies to validate the idea that treatment should be “multimodal” — and based on correcting a patient’s unique deficiencies, assessed by analyzing their blood and other factors such as environmental toxins, diet, exercise and sleep.

In a groundbreaking study, a team of Finnish and Swedish researchers found that non-drug-based approaches can work as interventions for older adults with elevated risk for dementia.

The Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability, also known as FINGER, was a two-year, double-blind, randomized controlled trial that included 1,260 people. The participants were placed into a program that included dietary guidance, exercise, cognitive training and social activities, along with intensive monitoring and management of metabolic and vascular health.

In essence, the participants who were selected to receive the interventions underwent something akin to a science-based wellness approach. There was some skepticism when the FINGER study was announced. Many of the interventions had been tried before on dementia patients, often with disappointing results. But the researchers weren’t convinced that these approaches were all dead ends. Exercise alone might not move the needle much. Cognitive training by itself might be relatively fruitless. Socialization, in and of itself, might not do much. But the whole might be greater than the sum of its parts — and indeed it was.

By the end of the trial, the patients who had received the multiple interventions were far more likely than the control group to have maintained — and even improved — their cognitive functioning. Their memories were stronger. Their ability to pay attention and maintain that attention was better. The relationship between their thoughts and physical movements was sharper.

To maintain brain health, we need to intervene with multimodal therapies as early as possible. The key will be determining the particular susceptibilities of each individual and designing a combination of interventions specific to that person.

The Institute for Systems Biology has set up several clinical trials on multimodal therapies and is now setting up a clinical trial with 1,000 individuals at high risk for Alzheimer’s. The study will conduct genomic and other tests (including quantification of 1,000 blood analytes and gut microbiomes) twice a year on each participant, while tracking their digital health measurements with wearable technology like Fitbits. ...]]></description>

[QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE]
A new study by USC and the Australian National University shows that audio quality influences whether people believe what they hear — and whether they trust the source of information.

The findings are significant amid the recent rise of fake news and public distrust in science, said Norbert Schwarz, a co-director of the Mind & Society Center at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

“When you make it difficult for people to process information, it becomes less credible,” Schwarz said.

The study was published on March 20 [2018] in the journal Science Communication. ...

“When the video was difficult to hear, viewers thought the talk was worse, the speaker less intelligent and less likeable and the research less important,” the scientists wrote. ...

“As soon as we reduced the audio quality, all of a sudden, the scientists and their research lost credibility,” Newman said. ...

Schwarz and his colleagues have found that anytime something is difficult to process, people become distrustful. One study that he published last year showed that people are more likely to distrust eBay sellers with difficult-to-pronounce names. One of his earlier studies revealed that people rated exercise plans as easier to do when the instructions were published in Arial font rather than Brush or Mistral fonts.

Newman, a former research associate of the Mind & Society Center at USC Dornsife College, has also found in her work that people are more likely to believe a claim when it appears with a photo — even if the image is unrelated to the claim. ...

The findings can apply to countless situations in business, such as teleconference and videoconference calls, and job interviews over the phone, Schwarz said.

Schwarz and Newman offered this takeaway from their study: Next time you are recorded, make sure you have good sound quality, they wrote. Your credibility depends on it.]]></description>

The human scream signals more than fear of imminent danger or entanglement in social conflicts. Screaming can also express joy or excitement. For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that non-alarming screams are even perceived and processed by the brain more efficiently than their alarming counterparts. ...

Humans respond to positive screams more quickly and with higher sensitivity

In a new study, a team at the University of Zurich Department of Psychology led by Sascha Frühholz investigated the meaning behind the full spectrum of human scream calls. The results revealed six emotionally distinct types of scream calls indicating pain, anger, fear, pleasure, sadness and joy. "We were surprised by the fact that listeners responded more quickly and accurately, and with a higher neural sensitivity, to non-alarming and positive scream calls than to alarming screams," says Frühholz. 

Cognitive processing of joyful screams is more efficient
"The frontal, auditory and limbic brain regions showed much more activity and neural connectivity when hearing non-alarm screams than when processing alarm scream calls," explains Frühholz. ...

More complex social environments have reshuffled neurocognitive priorities
It was previously assumed that human and primate cognitive systems were specially tailored for recognizing threat and danger signals in the form of screams. In contrast to primates and other animal species, however, human scream calls seem to have become more diversified over the course of human evolution -- something that Frühholz considers to be a big evolutionary leap. "It's highly possible that only humans scream to signal positive emotions like great joy or pleasure. And unlike with alarm calls, positive screams have become increasingly important over time," he says. Researchers suggest that this may be due to the communicative demands brought about by humans' increasingly complex social environments.]]></description>

    <title>Why our brains miss opportunities to improve through subtraction: Researchers explain the human tendency to make change through addition -- ScienceDaily</title>

[QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE]
In a new paper featured on the cover of Nature, University of Virginia researchers explain why people rarely look at a situation, object or idea that needs improving -- in all kinds of contexts -- and think to remove something as a solution. Instead, we almost always add some element, whether it helps or not.

The team's findings suggest a fundamental reason that people struggle with overwhelming schedules, that institutions bog down in proliferating red tape, and, of particular interest to researchers, that humanity is exhausting the planet's resources. ...

When considering two broad possibilities for why people systematically default to addition -- either they generate ideas for both possibilities and disproportionately discard subtractive solutions or they overlook subtractive ideas altogether -- the researchers focused on the latter.

"Additive ideas come to mind quickly and easily, but subtractive ideas require more cognitive effort," Converse said. "Because people are often moving fast and working with the first ideas that come to mind, they end up accepting additive solutions without considering subtraction at all."

The researchers think there may be a self-reinforcing effect.

"The more often people rely on additive strategies, the more cognitively accessible they become," Adams said. "Over time, the habit of looking for additive ideas may get stronger and stronger, and in the long run, we end up missing out on many opportunities to improve the world by subtraction."

Klotz has a book that takes a wider view of the topic, Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less, coming out a week after the Nature paper. Although the timing is coincidence, both the paper and book are products of the interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment at UVA, he said. ...]]></description>

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Author: Shem Malmquist & Roger Rapoport, Wired, April 24, 2021
[QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE]
... As Captain Chesley Sullenberger points out, automation will never be a panacea for novel situations unanticipated in training. ... Paradoxically, Sullenberger correctly noted ... “it requires much more training and experience, not less, to fly highly automated planes.” Pilots must have a mental model of both the aircraft and its primary systems, as well as how the flight automation works. ...

Pilot training today tends to be scripted and based on known and likely scenarios. Unfortunately, in many recent crashes experienced pilots had zero system or simulator training for the unexpected challenges they encountered. ...

In most modern aircraft the software driving how the controls respond behaves differently depending on airspeed, if it’s on the ground, in flight, if the flaps are up, and if the landing gear is up. Each mode can carry a different set of rules for the software and can lead to unexpected outcomes if the software is not receiving accurate information.

A pilot who understands these nuances might, for example, consider avoiding a mode change by not retracting the flaps. In the case of the MAX crashes, pilots found themselves in confusing situations, i.e., the automation worked perfectly, just not as expected. The software was fed bad information.

The [Boeing 737] MAX’s designers incorrectly assumed pilots would magically intervene. They missed the key fact that the same faulty data confusing the computer was also confusing the pilots. The flight automation systems operated precisely as designed on both doomed flights, all the way to impact. 

Although these challenges can often be “designed out,” pilots can’t wait for planes that are better-designed. They need to be trained now to understand that an aircraft’s response depends on the computer “process model.” For example, when something happens on takeoff that is not defined in the manuals, pilots are typically trained to climb to a safe altitude, retract the landing gear and flaps, and then sort out what they need to do next. This was fine on traditional aircraft, but it has major drawbacks today. Even if the pilot “disconnects” the automation, there may still be mode changes that affect the way the airplane responds. In several of the newer aircraft, automated systems continue working even after a pilot believes they have “turned everything off.” ...

The industry must reverse the dangerous trend of providing pilots with less system knowledge and “corner case” hand flying, a faulty premise based on reliability theory, not system theory. Pilots must understand how systems change modes and their impact on flight controls and other systems. ...

Apathy in your 40s could be an early warning sign of dementia which appears decades before other symptoms, Cambridge University scientists have found.

The study raises hopes of early treatment for the condition which affects almost a million people in the UK.

Researchers found that apathy, such as a lack of interest or motivation, is an important symptom of dementia and one which can accelerate someone’s decline in later life.

They warned that people should not brush off a loss of mojo as a midlife crisis or midlife slump, as it may be an indication of something far more serious.

The study's joint senior author, Professor James Rowe, of Cambridge's Department of Clinical Neurosciences, said: “It’s not the same as being depressed. It’s about that flatness and losing energy to do things.]]></description>

People all over the world associate colors with emotions. In fact, people from different parts of the world often associate the same colors with the same emotions. This was the result of a detailed survey of 4,598 participants from 30 nations over six continents, carried out by an international research team. "No similar study of this scope has ever been carried out," said Dr. Daniel Oberfeld-Twistel, member of the participating team at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU). "It allowed us to obtain a comprehensive overview and establish that color-emotion associations are surprisingly similar around the world." ..

[Oberfeld-Twistel said,"For example, throughout the world the color of red is the only color that is strongly associated with both a positive feeling -- love -- and a negative feeling -- anger." Brown, on the other hand, triggers the fewest emotions globally. However, the scientists also noted some national peculiarities. For example, the color of white is much more closely associated with sadness in China than it is in other countries, and the same applies to purple in Greece. "This may be because in China white clothing is worn at funerals and the color dark purple is used in the Greek Orthodox Church during periods of mourning," explained Oberfeld-Twistel. In addition to such cultural peculiarities, the climate may also play a role. According to the findings from another of the team's studies, yellow tends to be more closely associated with the emotion of joy in countries that see less sunshine, while the association is weaker in areas that have greater exposure to it. ...

.. the scientists have already discovered that the differences between individual nations are greater the more they are geographically separated and/or the greater the differences between the languages spoken in them.]]></description>

    <title>Use This Therapist's Simple Trick When You Have Intrusive or Overwhelming Thoughts</title>

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[[THE ENTIRE ARtICLE]
If you experience intrusive thoughts, registered social worker and psychotherapist Nadia Addesi knows that it's unrealistic to simply wish them away. Instead, unwelcome thoughts can be shifted so that they aren't as jarring or overt and you are less likely to ruminate on them. Though everything takes practice, the trick that this Ontario-based therapist provides is simple to implement in your daily life, and we recommend you give it a try.

In a TikTok video with over 140,000 views from late July, Addesi explains that all you have to do with an unwelcome thought is label it as such: a thought. This tactic comes from acceptance and commitment therapy and is a form of cognitive defusion, she said in the footage above, adding, "What we believe in acceptance and commitment therapy is that thoughts are thoughts, thoughts are not facts."

By labeling an overwhelming or negative thought as a thought, you're inviting the possibility that it isn't true - you're validating the concept that it's not fact. The example Addesi gave is if you're thinking to yourself "I am stupid," but you shift to "I'm having the thought 'I'm stupid,'" or "I'm noticing I'm having the thought 'I'm stupid.'" Just by being able to recognize it as a thought, "we're reinforcing the idea that thoughts are not facts, they are just thoughts," she noted. "And that takes the power away from the thought."]]></description>

Instead of shifting from lectures in-person to lectures online, let’s not miss an opportunity to recreate education to serve all of our students. Instead of replacing pencils with a keyboard, why not replace the lecture with a short video on Ancient Greece followed by real learning: for instance, recreating the Parthenon in an open world concept game (called sandbox games) like Minecraft where mathematical concepts like ratios and area are used to create, not regurgitate?

Students can engage in applied civics learning while playing iCivics games that positively impact the world around them. Or they could become historians by helping to transcribe Anti-Slavery Manuscripts through the Boston Public Library to make our history transparent and give voice to the voiceless.

Like Legos on steroids, digital spaces allow our kids to collaborate with one another in a virtual playground while also connecting socially, fostering those essential social and emotional skills.]]></description>

Whether it’s hitting the gym three days a week or finally finishing your novel, sometimes the biggest obstacle standing in the way of achieving your goals is, well, you. Here, six research-backed (and totally doable) tricks to stay motivated.

[1] Become a Morning Person ...according to a recent study in Health Psychology, it’s easier to form habits in the a.m., when cortisol levels are at their peak. 
[2] Tell a Friend (and Then Keep Telling Them]
[3] Set Deadlines In Days, Not Months
Here’s a cool trick—instead of telling yourself that you’re going to finish writing the first chapter of your book in the next month, give yourself a deadline of 30 days. According to a study published in Psychological Science, setting these kinds of deadlines makes it easier for you to connect your future self to your present self, which then inspires you to start working (even when you don’t feel like it).

[4] Be Your Own Cheerleader
[5] Set Specific, Not Vague, Goals ...  
According to the American Psychological Association, people who set out to achieve a few small, specific tasks are 90 percent more likely to achieve them than those who aim for a large, broader goal. So when you’re feeling overwhelmed, break down your goals into mini tasks.
[6] Believe in Yourself
It’s cheesy, but it’s true. People who think that they have a lot of willpower, do. ]]></description>

    <title>Gestures heard as well as seen: Gesturing adds emphasis to speech -- but not in the way researchers thought -- ScienceDaily</title>

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[[QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE]
Gesturing while speaking, or "talking with your hands," is common around the world. Many communications researchers believe that gesturing is either done to emphasize important points, or to elucidate specific ideas (think of this as the "drawing in the air" hypothesis). But there are other possibilities. For example, it could be that gesturing, by altering the size and shape of the chest, lungs and vocal muscles, affects the sound of a person's speech.

A team of UConn researchers led by former postdoc Wim Pouw (currently at Radboud University in the Netherlands) decided to test whether this idea was true, or just so much hand waving. The team had volunteers move their dominant hand as if they were chopping wood, while continuously saying "a" as in "cinema." They were instructed to keep the "a" sound as steady as they could.

Despite that instruction, when the team played audio recordings of this to other people, they found the listener could hear the speaker's gestures. When the listener was asked to move their arms to the rhythm, their movements matched perfectly with those of the original speaker.

Because of the way the human body is constructed, hand movements influence torso and throat muscles. Gestures are tightly tied to amplitude. Rather than just using your chest muscles to produce air flow for speech, moving your arms while you speak can add acoustic emphasis. And you can hear someone's motions, even when they're trying not to let you.]]></description>

    <title>Using self-nudging to make better choices -- ScienceDaily</title>

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[[QUOTES FROM ThE ARTICLE]
Despite our better knowledge, we often make choices that aren't good for us -- and feel bad about it later. But it's possible to strengthen our self-control by making simple changes to our environment. Researchers from the University of Helsinki and the Max Planck Institute for Human Development describe how that can be achieved in a new article published in Behavioural Public Policy.

Self-nudging is a behavioral science technique that we can all use to improve our self-control. Researchers Ralph Hertwig, Director of the Center for Adaptive Rationality at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, and Samuli Reijula, philosopher at the University of Helsinki, describe how it works in an article published in Behavioural Public Policy.

The idea behind self-nudging is that people can design and structure their own environments in ways that make it easier for them to make the right choices -- and ultimately to reach their long-term goals. The first step is to understand how the environment in which we make our choices -- also known as the choice architecture -- influences our decisions. The second step is to change that architecture -- whether it be the constant notifications from our smartphone or the positioning of the foods in our fridge -- in ways that enable us to make choices that are in our own interests. In other words, to nudge ourselves in the direction we want to go.

Four tools for self-nudging

The researchers describe four categories of self-nudging tools: (1) We can use reminders and prompts. For instance, a car driver can tape a note to their car door handle as a reminder to always use the 'Dutch reach' method when getting out -- in other words, to use the hand furthest from the handle to open the door, as it forces them to check over their shoulder for approaching cyclists. (2) We can choose a different framing. We can frame the decision between jogging and not jogging as a decision between health and sickness in old age, for example, or we can welcome every flight of stairs as an opportunity to increase our life expectancy by a small amount. (3) We can reduce the accessibility of things that can harm us by making them less convenient or, conversely, we can make it easier to do the things we want to do -- for example, by changing the default settings of our devices and disabling notifications from social media apps. (4) We can use social pressure and self-commitments to increase accountability. For example, someone might make a public commitment to a friend that they will donate a given sum to a political party they abhor if they don't meet a work deadline. 

"Various needs and desires are always competing for attention in our minds and bodies. Self-nudging can help us to negotiate these internal conflicts. It is a practical tool that can enhance self-understanding," says Samuli Reijula, philosopher at the University of Helsinki.]]></description>

When faced with a decision, people may know which choice gives them the best chance of success, but still take the other option, a new study suggests.
People may choose based on a "gut feeling," a habit, or what worked for them last time, rather than on what they have learned will work most often, said Ian Krajbich, co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology and economics at The Ohio State University.

The results run counter to the belief that people make the less optimal choice because they just don't know any better.
"In our study, people knew what worked most often. They just didn't use that knowledge," Krajbich said.
The research, published today (April 20, 2020) in the journal Nature Communications, was led by Arkady Konovalov, a former graduate student at Ohio State who is now at the University of Zurich in Switzerland.

Krajbich gave an example of how the study's findings may work in real life. Say Main Street is usually the fastest way home from work for you. But yesterday there was an event that was going to slow traffic on Main Street, so you took Spruce Street instead and it got you home a few minutes faster than normal.
Today, do you take Main Street -- which you know is usually the better route -- or take Spruce Street because it worked so well yesterday?

Krajbich said the results of this study suggest that many times we will take the route that worked yesterday and ignore the evidence of what normally works best.
"There's this tension between doing what you should do, at least from a statistical perspective, versus doing what worked out well recently," Krajbich said. ...]]></description>

"In 1999 ... David Dunning, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, cowrote a paper with colleague Justin Kruger titled "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One’s Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments," describing why so many of us who are unskilled are also wholly unaware of our own lack of skills. The results of that landmark research became known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. ...

Each of us has our own pockets of ignorance and we can wander into them at any time. A cautionary example that Dunning uses is those of new pilots. It isn't the pilots with 100 hours of training who are dangerous; rather, it's those pilots with 700 to 800 hours of flight time who are lethal. They know enough to believe they're competent when they really aren't. The results can be catastrophic.

Dunning’s research also focuses on social norms and their impact on peoples’ thoughts and behaviors. He also studies hypocognition, the state of not having awareness about your own blind spot. ..."

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["We found that when people disagree, their brains fail to encode the quality of the other person's opinion, giving them less reason to change their mind," said the study's senior author, Professor Tali Sharot (UCL Psychology & Language Sciences).

For the study, the researchers asked 42 participants, split into pairs, to estimate house prices. They each wagered on whether the asking price would be more or less than a set amount, depending on how confident they were. Next, each lay in an MRI scanner with the two scanners divided by a glass wall. On their screens they were shown the properties again, reminded of their own judgements, then shown their partner's assessment and wagers, and finally were asked to submit a final wager.

The researchers found that, when both participants agreed, people would increase their final wagers to larger amounts, particularly if their partner had placed a high wager.

Conversely, when the partners disagreed, the opinion of the disagreeing partner had little impact on people's wagers, even if the disagreeing partner had placed a high wager.

The researchers found that one brain area, the posterior medial prefrontal cortex (pMFC), was involved in incorporating another person's beliefs into one's own. Brain activity differed depending on the strength of the partner's wager, but only when they were already in agreement. When the partners disagreed, there was no relationship between the partner's wager and brain activity in the pMFC region.

The pMFC is known to be involved in decision-making, and helps to signal when a decision should be changed.

The researchers say that the tendency to ignore the strength of opposing beliefs may generate polarisation and facilitate the maintenance of false beliefs.

First author Dr Andreas Kappes (City, University of London) said: "Our findings could help make sense of some puzzling observations in domains including science and politics."]]></description>

The findings for the work carried out by Mr Ramsbottom and his fellow researchers, Eoghan McNeill, Dr Adam Toth and Dr Mark Campbell, show that golfers who already had a good 'feel' for putting, may benefit the most from this mental practice."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["An interdisciplinary research team from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries has developed a simple new method that can be used to identify the best decision-makers from a group of experts without having to know whether their decisions -- past or present -- are correct or incorrect. ...

"The method was developed on the basis of insights into collective intelligence. It rests on a simple assumption: Those individuals in a group of experts who make decisions that are most similar to the decisions of others also make the best decisions. ...

"For example, the researchers examined the diagnoses made by 100 radiologists in the USA. In the early 2000s, the radiologists interpreted the mammograms of 155 women to determine whether or not they had breast cancer. The research team analyzed the data to identify the radiologists whose decisions were, on average, most similar to the decisions of the others. ... [These] radiologists [also had] made the most accurate and thus best diagnoses.

"'It has been shown time and again that experts who are good in their field are good in a similar way, whereas poor performers are bad in very different ways. Working on the basis of this observation, we developed this new method and tested it in various areas,' says Ralf Kurvers, lead author and researcher at the Center for Adaptive Rationality at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Carol Dweck and her colleagues conducted a study [at Stanford University] with people who were struggling with their performance. One group was taught to perform better on a task that they performed poorly in. The other group received a completely different intervention: for the task that they performed badly in, they were taught that they weren’t stuck and that improving their performance was a choice. They discovered that learning produces physiological changes in the brain, just like exercise changes muscles. All they had to do was believe in themselves and make it happen.

"When the groups’ performance was reassessed a few months later, the group that was taught to perform the task better did even worse. The group that was taught that they had the power to change their brains and improve their performance themselves improved dramatically.
"The primary takeaway from Dweck’s research is that we should never stop learning. The moment we think that we are who we are is the moment we give away our unrealized potential.
"The act of learning is every bit as important as what you learn. Believing that you can improve yourself and do things in the future that are beyond your current possibilities is exciting and fulfilling."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>katherinestevens</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["If you're especially into a piece of music, your brain does something called Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), which feels to you like a tingling in your brain or scalp. It's nature's own little "buzz", a natural reward, that is described by some as a "head orgasm". Some even think that it explains why people go to church, for example, 'feeling the Lord move through you', but that's another article for another time. 

"Turns out that ASMR is pretty special. According to a recently published study in The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease (catchy name!), the part of your brain responsible for ASMR doesn't get lost to Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's tends to put people into layers of confusion, and the study confirms that music can sometimes actually lift people out of the Alzheimer's haze and bring them back to (at least a semblance of) normality... if only for a short while. ASMR is powerful stuff!"]]></description>

Economists have addressed this question. The result of their study is that people's willingness to take risks increases as soon as they get a lower return than other people with whom they compare themselves. At the same time, decision-makers take lower risks if they get a higher return than their peers."]]></description>
