When some horrific abuses came to light in religious care homes in the US, a lot of people wondered why nobody had spoken up earlier. What was at play here, and how could such situations be prevented? In this episode of The Why Podcast, Aharon Cohen Mohliver tells us how he embarked on a deep-dive statistical analysis and discovered that having a system in place is no guarantee of anything when humans are involved.

Negotiating situations can be tense. It's often assumed you need to wield power, grab what you can and then get out. But it doesn't have to be so: if you can build trust and work out what the other person cares about, you're more likely to get a result that's good for both parties. Empathy takes practice – and, before the other person even opens their mouth, you'll have made a snap judgement about them based on their appearance. And that's just the start of what can work against you and the likelihood of achieving a constructive outcome.
