This episode is from the 2022 Aspen Ideas Festival, but we're bringing it back because it's still as relevant as ever. Though it can sometimes feel like conflict and discord is human nature, our brains are actually predisposed to forming groups and working together. In our individualistic society, we may think our minds stop at our skulls, but when people come together and connect effectively, they actually think in different ways, and they all become smarter and healthier together. Science writer Annie Murphy Paul, the author of “The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain,” joins NYU psychology professor Jay Van Bavel for a participatory conversation about uniting people to solve problems and work towards common goals. Again and again, research demonstrates the power of groups, and the panelists help us translate these findings into practical tips for encouraging people to collaborate functionally. New Yorker writer Charles Duhigg moderates the conversation and takes questions from the audience. aspenideas.org

It's impossible to separate the way people engage with AI with the way they engage with the  internet as a whole. This is an episode of ReThinking, another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, featuring a compelling discussion of why the internet can feel so unfriendly–and where we can go from there. You'll hear from Jay Van Bavel, an award-winning professor of psychology and neural science at NYU, on the science of virality, why bad news commands our attention, and how we can find common ground around more uplifting content.   If you liked this episode, you can find more ReThinking wherever you get your podcasts.

Groups!... I did it again. Jay Van Bavel, NYU Associate Professor of Psychology and Neural Science, Director of the Social Identity and Morality Lab, and co-author of The Power Of Us, discusses how our social identities change depending on our environment and context, how the groups we identify with affect our decisions and perception, and the importance of instilling healthy hierarchy in a group to prevent unhealthy leadership. They also discuss how emotionally charged situations can forge shared identities, how cults replace individual identities with group identities, what to do when someone has fallen prey to groupthink, and whether groups are even... good?

In this episode Jennifer welcomes Jay Van Bavel, an Associate Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University. Together, they discuss the complex challenges facing the DEI field, exploring how extreme stances and political backlash have overshadowed much of the good work being done. Jennifer and Jay consider ways to rebrand and reinvent DEI by focusing on broader issues like organizational culture, psychological safety, and collective well-being. Through their candid dialogue, they highlight the importance of intergenerational conversations, social norms, and rewarding incremental progress in shaping inclusive cultures.

Jay Van Bavel is a professor of psychology and neural science at New York University. His lab has published papers on how the internet became a fun-house mirror of extreme political opinions, why the news media has a strong negativity bias, why certain emotions go viral online, why tribalism is inflamed by online activity, and how the internet can make us seem like the worst versions of ourselves. At the same time, Van Bavel emphasizes that many of the group psychology dynamics that can make social media seem like a dumpster fire are also core to what makes humankind such a special and ingenious species. We discuss the four dark laws of online engagement and the basics of group psychology. If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.

Welcome to Compromising Positions! The tech podcast that asks non-cybersecurity professionals what we in the industry can do to make their lives easier and help make our organisations more prepared to face ever-changing human-centric cyber threats! Join your hosts, Lianne Potter, Cyber Anthropologist and Head of Security Operations for a major retailer, and Jeff Watkins, Cybersecurity enthusiast and CTO for a software consultancy as they interview this week's guest!This week our guest is Melina Palmer, a renowned keynote speaker in behavioural economics and the CEO of The Brainy Business, as well as hosting one of the best podcasts on the subject of the practical application of behavioural economics.In this episode, we discuss how silos and tribal mentalities occur in the workplace due to confirmation bias and how we can expand the circle of empathy to create a more cohesive team.We'll also delve into the issue of time discounting, availability bias and optimism bias to understand why people are drawn to the easy option in the moment.We shall explore how the cybersecurity team's curse of knowledge can be a barrier to effective communication, and the need to create easier-to-digest content that enables 'buy-in.' Key takeaways for this episode are:Understanding the behaviour that leads to insecure cybersecurity behaviour is crucial in developing effective cybersecurity strategies. Silos and tribal mentalities in the workplace can be detrimental to team dynamics and productivity. Leaders should work towards creating a 'team company' culture. Confirmation bias and focusing illusion can lead to negative relationships and narrow perspectives. It's important to listen and build positive connections. Cybersecurity messages should be framed in a way that resonates with users and takes into account their knowledge and habits. To effectively communicate cybersecurity information, it's important to get into the mind space of the person you're communicating with and provide easy-to-digest content.If you're interested in understanding the behavioural science behind cybersecurity and how we can communicate more effectively, then you're in the right place.

However, he argues that the opposite is true. Your identity continuously evolves, frequently beyond your conscious awareness and occasionally against your will, to align with the interests of the groups you associate with. Consequently, it is not unusual for beliefs to persist even after they have been refuted. By comprehending how identity functions, you can seize control and progress from questioning, "Who am I?" to asking, "Who do I aspire to become?"

Today's episode is all about herding. We humans are a herding species, just like cows and sheep and guppies, and this has a big impact on our behavior. We are tribal and we look to others to help us stay safe and make good decisions. Or, at least, what our subconscious tells us is a good decision. :) This is why things like testimonials are so important.  Herding has a dedicated chapter in my first book, What Your Customer Wants and Can't Tell You because they are so important for businesses to understand.  The reason I chose to refresh this episode is because of the guest who is joining me this coming Friday, Nick Epley. We talk about the importance of social connection and why we often don't do the things that will help us to be happier because we perceive them as being uncomfortable or awkward or against the social norms in the moment.  In the business context, imagine how much value could come from having a simple chat with your colleagues or people at a conference. Most people probably stick to their groups where they are already comfortable and don't strike up a conversation, but what could happen if you did? There is a lot of value in breaking from the herd and having that conversation, even for less than a minute, which we will talk about more on Friday when episode 265 with Dr. Nick Epley comes out. And as you listen today, I encourage you to reflect on all the times you thought about striking up a conversation or asking a question and didn't. What aspects of herding made you feel like you shouldn't and what can you do in the future to engage with others more? It is valuable for you both professionally and personally, I promise. Show Notes: [00:39] Today's episode is all about herding. We humans are a herding species, just like cows and sheep and guppies, and this has a big impact on our behavior. [02:21] In the business context, imagine how much value could come from having a simple chat with your colleagues or people at a conference. [04:07] Humans herd in the same way as other species for most of the same reasons. The main reason animals herd is for protection.  [05:41] Herding is in our nature.  [08:02] Herding helps us learn by observation. Watching where others go and following the group keeps you safe.  [09:38] As humans have evolved, herding behavior has not always served us well. Herding is there to protect individuals, not the group or a complex society as a whole.  [11:41] We choose restaurants by online reviews and crowdedness. We think the people must know something we don't.  [12:58] People are more likely to leave tips when others have done it.   [15:51] Herding mentality is much more likely to come out when people feel vulnerable or are unsure of themselves.    [17:23] It is better to be conventionally wrong than unconventionally right.  [18:58] Studies have shown that up to 75% of participants will give an answer they know is wrong to go with the group.  [21:07] When everyone follows the herd and doesn't take the time to do their own research stocks or companies get artificially inflated by the confidence of others.   [23:42] Crypto is absolutely impacted by the herd mentality.  [24:16] Always beware if your brain is making you feel anxious to take steps and do something just because everyone is doing it or having your FOMO triggered in a way that makes you want to do less research before investing your time, energy, or other resources.   [27:48] People like to be part of the group and this is increased when the other people in the group are comparable and more like you.  [28:14] Whatever your business does, you are in the business of solving problems. The only reason people buy anything is to solve a problem.  [30:52] Being in a group makes us feel safe and happy because of this release of oxytocin. When we are not part of the group, our brains do whatever they can to get that bliss feeling back by seeking out more group relationships to help us feel safe and warm.  [33:28] while we can't change our natural tendency to herd, you do have options to change your behavior.  [34:28] Understanding what will trigger herd mentality in your customers for both good and bad can help you to message better and more effectively.  [36:52] If you really care about starting a movement, have the courage to follow and show others how to follow. When you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first one to stand up and join in.  [37:09] Melina's closing thoughts [40:52] Be thoughtful with the numbers you put out into the world, and consider the herding implications for what you want people to do in the long run. [41:59] Consider how social norms and herding instincts may keep you from having conversations with other people.  Thanks for listening. Don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Android.

Groups!... I Did It Again. NYU Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and co-author of The Power Of Us, Jay Van Bavel, discusses his work at the Director of the Social Identity and Morality Lab, how our social identity changes depending on time and circumstance, how the group we identify with can affect our decisions and perception, how to instill a healthy hierarchy within a group, how emotionally charged situations create a shared identity, how cults replace individual identities with group identities, what to do when someone has fallen prey to groupthink, and whether or not groups are even good.

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick and Dr. Jay Van Bavel, professor of psychology and neural sciences to discuss the importance of free thinking and opinions in today's divided political environment.  Dr. Van Bavel attests that many of today's failed corporations followed a cult mentality where there was a singular voice and opinion that made all the decisions from the top.  The companies that succeed are the ones that allow for different opinions and ideas from all levels, and that is the same ideology that we should follow in our everyday lives.  Sanchez concludes that the keys to lessening the political divide in America include finding common ground, bridging the animosity, remembering that we all share a common goal, and recognizing the importance of humanity.

Though it can sometimes feel like conflict and discord is human nature, our brains are actually predisposed to forming groups and working together. In our individualistic society, we may think our minds stop at our skulls, but when people come together and connect effectively, they actually think in different ways, and they all become smarter and healthier together. Science writer Annie Murphy Paul, the author of “The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain,” joins NYU psychology professor Jay Van Bavel for a participatory conversation about uniting people to solve problems and work towards common goals. Again and again, research demonstrates the power of groups, and the panelists help us translate these findings into practical tips for encouraging people to collaborate functionally. New Yorker writer Charles Duhigg moderates the conversation and takes questions from the audience.

What is the true nature of our identity, and how does it shape our thoughts, beliefs and actions? What do we gain from dissolving the boundaries created by our social identities? How can today's managers, leaders, and changemakers use the language of identity to eliminate negative stereotypes, false beliefs and deep-seated racial biases in their teams, organizations and communities—and also create the potential for more cohesion, collaboration and peak performance? Listen to some powerful scientific insights and real-life stories on how to harness our shared identities for personal and collective success from Jay Van Bavel, in an exclusive conversation with Prof. Hitendra Wadhwa, on Intersections Podcast.Jay Van Bavel is an Associate Professor of Psychology & Neural Science at New York University, an affiliate at the Stern School of Business, and Director of the Social Identity & Morality Lab. He is the co-author of The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities for Personal and Collective Success. From neurons to social networks, Jay's research examines how collective concerns—group identities, moral values, and political beliefs—shape the mind, brain, and behavior. His work addresses issues of group identity, social motivation, cooperation, implicit bias, moral judgment, decision-making, and social media. An award-winning researcher, Jay's work has been featured in leading platforms including the New York Times, BBC, Scientific American, Wall Street Journal, US Supreme Court and Senate, TEDx, United Nations, European Union, and the World Health Organization. In this Intersections episode, Jay reveals: The true nature of our identity, how it governs our thoughts, beliefs and actions, and what role our life's experiences and external forces play in shaping itHow to eliminate negative stereotypes, false beliefs and deep-seated racial biases, and create the potential for more cohesion, collaboration and peak performanceA compelling story of how ‘identity' divided an entire town based on the shoes the townsfolk wore [Hint: It involves two of the biggest sportswear brands]Why identity is a double-edged sword that serves to manifest not just our best, but also our worst And a powerful form of identity that can enable us to transcend its limitations, foster inclusivity, and help us express our best in service of humanity

If you desire a winning mentality that takes your mindset to where it needs to be, you need to change your perception of your reality. So much of our lives are predicated on the lens through which we view life. Our perception impacts how we view, comprehend, analyze, reflect, and interact with the world around us. I have no idea how so many of you could put yourself in a position where you view everything in a negative light. I'm really hoping that this podcast is the podcast that inspires you to implement the five steps I laid out in the episode and put them to use to change your perspective, create a winner's mindset, and better your reality. ► Get the full show notes for all resources from today's episode: https://passionstruck.com/does-the-concept-of-free-will-really-exist/  -► Want the transcript: https://johnrmiles.com/5-steps-to-change-your-perception/  --► Prefer to watch this episode: https://youtu.be/_sLYC8B68k4  --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283  Thank you, Dry Farm Wines and Policygenius, For Your Support Dry Farm Wines have No Chemical Additives for Aroma, Color, Flavor, or Texture Enhancement. Dry Farm Wines - The Only Natural Wine Club That Goes Above and Beyond Industry Standards.

Recommend this show by sharing the link: pod.link/2Pages Keep this between us, but I have an offer for you. There's this thing called the Insiders Club; it's amazing and exclusive, and the other people who are a part of it are truly extraordinary, like you. We don't let anybody in–it's invite only, and the invites are rare … This doesn't really exist, but it's tempting to be an insider, isn't it?  Actually, even though you're not in the Insiders Club, you already are an insider. You belong to certain groups that have rules to keep people in, and others out. So, just as you're already an insider, you're already an outsider, too. My question is: What are you doing to create insiders, and to mitigate the pain of being an outsider?  Dominic Packer is a Professor of Social Psychology who studies how groups shape our identities, decisions, and our lives.

Identity helps shape our perception and thinking about the world around us. What is identity? How does it influence our perspective? These are some of the questions we answer in this episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast. In this episode, we talk with Jay Van Bavel, an Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of New York, an affiliate at the Stern School of Business in Management and Organizations, and Director of the Social Identity and Morality Lab. He is also co-author of the book The Power of Us, which provides readers with cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to explain how identity really works and how we can harness it for the better. His research focuses on how group identities, moral values, and political beliefs shape the mind, brain, and behaviour. He has published over 100 academic publications on the topic and has won various awards for his research achievements. In our conversation, we unpack the complexity of identity and its influence on our perspective and decision-making abilities. We cover aspects such as the differences between self-identity and group identity, how to be aware of your biases, the role that leaders play in influencing identity, and how identity plays out in social relationships. We also talk about how group identity interacts with democracy and the role of social media in shaping our identity, as well as learn some practical advice to help broaden your perspective.   Key Points From This Episode:   We start the show by learning the basics of group identity.

Jay Van Bavel is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at New York University. Prior to joining NYU, Jay completed his PhD at the University of Toronto and a post-doctoral fellowship at the Ohio State University. From neurons to social networks, Jay's research examines how collective concerns of identities, moral values, and political beliefs shape the mind, brain, and behavior. His work addresses issues of group identity, social motivation, cooperation, moral judgment, decision making, and social media. He's a researcher at his core who's highly curious, looking up the newest and best ways to gather great science and great data and great information. He's published over 100 academic publications and co-authors a mentoring column. His work has appeared in academic papers in the US Supreme Court and the Senate. His research has been featured in a TedTalk, a TedEd, and a TedX. He's consulted with the White House, United Nations, European Union, and the World Health Organization on issues related to his research.   Jay had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “We have an enormous amount of resilience, more than we would have expected” (11:20). “90% of success is just showing up. You show up and you do your best even if it's not your best day” (12:45). “We're highly attuned to the social norms of any group we're in” (15:00). “People want to feel like the identities they have are positive and distinct from other groups” (16:45). “We want to signal to ourselves and others that we're part of valued identities” (18:15). “If people reduce their social media use by 1 hour a day, they're much happier” (20:35). “Most every human has a need for affiliation” (24:15). “We can identify with groups of people we've never even met” (25:00). “People misrepresent themselves on social media” (28:40). “People are tuned to whatever type of value generates engagement on different [social media] platforms” (29:15). “The more you identify with a group, the more you want to start to embody the norms of the group” (31:55). “If you're in a group, you should be carefully thinking about what the norms are” (33:30). “You can nudge and influence other people by changing your own behavior” (33:35). “The most powerful form of identity that makes people feel fulfilled but also inclusive is what's called the dual-identity model: When you feel part of something bigger than yourself, but you are still able to sustain and feel that your other identities are valued” (36:50). “We're wired to be group-ish” (39:40). “The groups we belong to don't necessarily need to discriminate” (40:35). “One of the key predictors of cooperation is that you both benefit if it's good” (45:45). “I frame my criticisms as questions” (47:30). “Organizations who add talent but don't think about how groups will gel often times aren't any more successful” (50:45). “Even though polarization has gotten really bad, people still vastly overestimate it” (56:30). “40-50% of our political ideologies is biological” (1:04:30). “We all contain multitudes of identities” (1:10:00). “Whatever situation we're in activates an identity, and with it comes a way of seeing the world” (1:10:25).   Additionally, make sure to check out powerofus.online for more information on Jay's book, and you can also find more info on Jay at JayVanBevel.com!

Today I am very excited to introduce you to David McRaney, you may have heard of his first book You Are Not So Smart which is an international bestseller that is now available in 17 languages. He went on to create an awesome podcast of the same name and wrote a second book You Are Now Less Dumb. I highly recommend both of those and his podcast…and today we are talking about his new book, which just came out this week, called How Minds Change. As you will hear us talk about in the interview, this book is a fascinating journey we take along with David as he seeks to answer the question, "How do minds change?" The book is filled with interesting stories, lots of science, and fun anecdotes. I really enjoyed it and learned so much along the way, some of which you can hear about in today's episode. Join us to hear all about it! Show Notes: [00:43] Today I am very excited to introduce you to David McRaney. You may have heard of his first book You Are Not So Smart which is an international bestseller that is now available in 17 languages. He has a phenomenal podcast of the same name. [03:35] David shares about himself, his background, and how he found himself in this space.  [05:30] When his second book came out, he started a podcast. His podcast has been the centerpiece of his world for the last twelve years.  [07:55] David found something that he was interested in and wanted to find the answer to and he started to dig.  [09:01] Don't jump into anything because you are trying to get rich quickly or because it is the hot new thing.  [10:27] Don't follow the trends. Take the content you are skilled at and marry it to the thing you are obsessed with. Then plug away at it.  [13:39] Everything that you do builds a skill set that you can laterally apply to other stuff later.  [15:56] He writes his books by taking the reader along with him on the journey so they are able to learn with him.  [16:40] David shares about the cookie segment that he had on his podcast for 100 episodes. He and Melina bond over baking and business. [19:41] He started the cookie segment because of several cookie studies he read and he knew there was a way to put it into his show.  [22:26] He has gotten access to many different people in interviews for the book, podcast, and other work – how can you do the same?  [24:27] You can email anyone and at least they will tell you no, but 75% of the time people say yes.  [25:34] He explains in his emails that he is reaching out because he needs them and it would be a better show/book/project if they are part of it.  [27:33] When people realize that you genuinely care and are interested they are more likely to say yes.  [28:13] One of the biggest parts of How Minds Change is the exploration of “The Dress” and the neuroscience behind it.  [30:37] Reaching out to his connections often led to other connections and allowed him to create even more connections. [33:14] He shares about “The Dress.” The dress is an image that appeared on the internet where people could not agree on what they saw.  [35:23] With the dress, truly you saw it either one color (black and blue) or the other (white and gold) and you couldn't see it any other way.  [37:32] When we see something that is overexposed we have no choice, the brain lowers the overexposure a bit to try to help us see what the image actually is.  [39:43] Everything you experience is only happening in your brain. Every color you see is an illusion. Colors are things the brain makes.  [42:23] There are two humongous populations of human beings that have had different life experiences, and because of those different life experiences they disambiguate an ambiguous image with a different kind of disambiguation than the other side and this leads to different conclusions. [43:57] When we try to prove that we are right, we miss out on getting to the deeper truth of the matter.  [45:04] Pascal's team recreated the dress image using Crocs. They used Crocs and paired them with socks because it was an inanimate object with no default color.  [46:49] It seems like older people see white socks version because they have more experience in their lives with socks that weren't colored.  [48:28] David shares about his new book, How Minds Change. [51:41] His book is an explanation of how people do and do not change their minds, understanding the nature of the resistance, and discovering what you have to do to overcome that resistance.  [54:54] Melina shares her closing thoughts. [55:55] One of my favorite things that David said in our conversation was that you need to "listen your way into changing somebody's mind" -- it isn't about force or proving someone that they are wrong, there is so much interesting work showcased in the book about how people can actually change their own minds when they are asked the right thoughtful questions and someone takes the time to listen.

The Power of Us by Jay Van Bavel and Dominic J Packer 

Performance is more than fierce determination. On the road to success, psychology underpins — and shapes — every personal choice. Habits, biases, social norms, the people we spend time with, and even the quality of goals we set determine how far we can go. These invisible barriers litter the road to our next achievement. Identification helps to clear the path, avoid pitfalls, and come out victorious.   We've spoken with world-renowned researchers to bring you science-backed advice on how to be a better leader and achieve any goal.  Professor Dr. Katy Milkman explores the best times for making a change and why behavior is contagious. Social psychologist, Dr. Vanessa Bohns looks at why leaders have even more influence than they think. Dr. Jay Van Bavel, Associate Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University, recommends baking dissent into every organization. Dr. Ayelet Fishbach, Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, emphasizes the importance of setting the correct goals and incentives. Flexible and Fun If life is half nature and half nurture, that leaves a lot of room for improvement. Dr. Katy Milkman knows that habits require flexibility on the path to change. Repetition, reward, and some consistency help build long-term positive habits — and as Dr. Ayelet Fishbach says, goals should not be chores, but exciting aspirations. By the Numbers Lead by example — not with statistics — to influence your firm culture. We are watching each other. Constantly. As Dr. Jay Van Bavel points out, people in the same groups will mirror each other and look to leaders for how to behave. Dr. Katy Milkman explains that people with power do not experience the same societal pressures and play on their terms. Leaders who show vulnerability convey responsibility and unify teams. Encourage “No” We all believe that our perceptions of reality are true. But to get to the next level, we often have to question what we think we know. To avoid digging deeper into our sphere of beliefs, Dr. Jay Van Bavel recommends creating a culture where dissent is encouraged. If one person is allowed to poke holes, it frees up others to voice their concerns, ultimately strengthening a law firm's positioning.

Cognitive dissonance is  the extremely uncomfortable feeling we get when we face new information that we know to be true but doesn't align with our identities or beliefs.   The alarming things about cognitive dissonance is the lengths we will go to to preserve our identity rather than face a new reality.   In this episode, I chat with Dominic Packer, a professor of psychology at Lehigh University, who along with his friend and colleague, Jay Van Bavel, an associate professor of psychology and neural science at New York University, co-authored the book The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony.   Dominic and I discuss how ignoring information we know to be true simply because it doesn't align with our chosen group's identities leads to polarization, distrust, and a rush to wall-off and create a harmonious bubble of groupthink, and ways we can counteract such things.   Check out the Power of Us book at https://www.powerofus.online and join Dominic and Jay's newsletter at https://powerofus.substack.com.

Carter and Keri begin with a discussion of Theranos and founder/CEO Elizabeth Holmes, who was convicted of criminal fraud on January 3rd. Then they expose the corporate press' dishonest and false "debunking" of the concept of mass formation psychosis, which was recently popularized by Dr. Robert Malone. Next, they laugh at CNN's introspective question, "are we out of touch?" before reviewing Novak Djokovic's immigration battle with the Australian government.
