Guest interviewer Robizon Khubulashvili is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of San Francisco. His research is at the intersection of theoretical, behavioral, and experimental microeconomics. A common question in his research is, how can we use a user's revealed preferences to improve the performance of online platforms? Robizon has studied this question in two settings: when monetary incentives are missing (an online gaming platform) and when monetary incentives are present (an online gambling platform). His work suggests that heterogeneity among users is an essential consideration in designing better online platforms; that is, a policy benefiting one type of user might harm the other.

We use frameworks and concepts to protect ourselves from the discomfort of not knowing, but these very concepts, when taken for granted, can prevent us from asking the kinds of questions that will set us free. In this episode, I'm joined by philosophy of mental health scholars, Cristiano Bacchi and Giacomo Piselli Fioroni, co-hosts of the podcast "In Front of the Mirror." Together, we dive into the critical intersection of philosophy and psychiatry, exploring why slowing down to question our fundamental assumptions about mental health is not just academic exercise, but is essential for creating more humane and effective approaches. Cristiano, whose research examines authenticity and agency in mental health experiences, and Giacomo, who investigates the complex interplay between mind, world, and intersubjectivity, bring their interdisciplinary backgrounds to a conversation that challenges the dominant paradigms while remaining unafraid to tackle the big questions.Cristiano Bacchi is a Master's student in Clinical Psychology at the School of Psychology, University of Padua, Italy.He holds a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Psychological Sciences and Techniques from the University of Perugia, Italy, and a Master of Arts in Philosophy and Cognitive Sciences from the Berlin School of Mind and Brain, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.This background allowed him to become familiar with interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the mind and the person. To put this perspective into practice, during his undergraduate studies he trained as an intern in Amniotic Therapy, a body-based group therapy for persons experiencing psychosis.His current research addresses key questions in the philosophy of mental health, including issues of authenticity and ambiguity in psychiatry, the impact of mental health narratives on the person's sense of agency, and the role of language and metaphors in representing mental health conditions.Giacomo Piselli Fioroni is finishing his masters at the "Berlin School of Mind and Brain", Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. In his bachelor, he studied "Philosophy and Psychological sciences and techniques" at the University of Perugia, Italy. Currently, he is looking for a doctorate program, striving for realising his dream of becoming a researcher. His current work aims at putting into communication philosophy and mental health-related disciplines. Particularly, his current work focuses on the role of folk psychology both in the theories and practice of clinical sciences, and on the relationship of first-person, second-person and third-person perspectives employed to describe and understand mental health phenomena.Together, in 2024 they organized and taught the Projekttutorium Philosophy of Mental Health at Humboldt University.Since May 2025, they have hosted the podcast In Front of the Mirror, where they continue to explore the dialogue between philosophy and mental health.

Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio
Although the topic of Roma education has resonated in debates for many years, little attention is paid to the key actors in education – teachers. in this episode we are going to take a closer look at the conditions and struggles the teachers have to face in the marginalized communities in Slovakia and last but not least, their well-being as the SAV project tells us. We are going to be talking to the representatives from Centre of Social and Psychological Sciences in Košice who conducted the project and the director of desegregated elementary school Alma in Zvolen.

In 1989, The Simpsons released Itchy & Scratchy & Marge. It's a classic Simpson's episode filled with slapstick humour, dry jokes, and smart gags. And yet, behind all the humour, there's an important lesson about leadership. Today, Chief Behavioural Scientist Micheal Hallsworth explains what Marge Simpson can teach you about leadership. --- Read the Hypocrisy Trap: https://amzn.to/47vhxbj Sign up for my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/ Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ --- Today's sources: Barrick, E.

Tired of the "not enough" story? This week we're exploring abundance mindset—NOT toxic positivity, but a practical shift that opens up creativity, generosity, and better decision-making. What You'll Learn: Why abundance isn't about denying real problems (looking at you, 80-patient schedules!) How scarcity narrows your thinking while abundance broadens it The science behind Barbara Fredrickson's "broaden and build" framework Why that "stuck" feeling is a leading cause of burnout 5 Abundance Experiments to Try This Week: Micro gratitude - Name 3 small wins daily Micro generosity - Give one unexpected compliment or generous tip Curiosity boost - Try 20 minutes of low-stakes exploration Reframe constraints - Turn "I don't have time" into "What can I delegate?" Build buffers - Create 10-minute margins in your schedule Remember: Abundance always feels GOOD, never resentful. If you're feeling stuck, ask yourself: "What else is possible?"
Il n'existe pas un âge unique où l'intelligence humaine atteint son apogée. En réalité, selon les chercheurs, différentes formes d'intelligence culminent à des moments distincts de la vie. C'est ce que montre une étude majeure publiée en 2015 dans la revue Psychological Science par Joshua Hartshorne et Laura Germine. Ces scientifiques du MIT et de l'hôpital de Boston ont analysé les performances de plus de 48 000 personnes à travers une série de tests cognitifs en ligne. Leurs résultats bousculent les idées reçues : l'intelligence n'a pas de “pic” unique, mais plusieurs sommets répartis sur le parcours de vie.Les capacités dites de “vitesse de traitement”, qui consistent à comprendre et à réagir rapidement à une information nouvelle, atteignent leur maximum vers 18 ou 20 ans. La mémoire de travail, qui permet de manipuler temporairement des données pour résoudre un problème, culmine un peu plus tard, autour de 25 à 30 ans. Ensuite, elle décline progressivement mais reste souvent suffisante pour la vie quotidienne. D'autres compétences, plus sociales ou émotionnelles, comme la reconnaissance des visages ou la compréhension des intentions d'autrui, continuent à se perfectionner jusqu'à la quarantaine.En revanche, ce que l'on appelle l'intelligence “cristallisée” — l'ensemble des connaissances acquises, du vocabulaire, de l'expérience — ne cesse de croître pendant des décennies. Elle peut atteindre son sommet bien après 50 ans. C'est pourquoi on dit souvent que la sagesse ou la capacité à prendre de bonnes décisions s'affine avec l'âge. L'étude souligne d'ailleurs qu'il n'y a pas un âge où l'on excelle dans tout, mais une série d'âges où chaque domaine cognitif brille tour à tour.Ces découvertes ont une portée optimiste : elles montrent que notre cerveau reste dynamique et adaptable tout au long de la vie. En continuant à apprendre, lire, échanger et relever de nouveaux défis intellectuels, il est possible de maintenir des performances élevées très longtemps. En somme, l'intelligence ne connaît pas un sommet unique, mais une succession de plateaux, différents selon les individus et les compétences. Comme le résument les chercheurs : il n'y a pas d'âge où l'on est “le plus intelligent”, seulement des moments où certaines aptitudes atteignent leur meilleur niveau. Hébergé par Acast.

RFK Jr.'s autism claims aren't about helping anyone—they're about deciding who gets to exist in America.
In onze samenleving ligt de nadruk op het opdoen van kennis. Hoe meer kennis, hoe beter, lijkt het devies. Daarmee gaan we voorbij aan het feit dat we er soms bewust voor kiezen om beschikbare informatie niet te hebben. Zo willen we de uitslag van een wedstrijd niet weten als we die op een later moment terugkijken en vraagt ook niet iedereen de uitslag van een medische test op. Wat zijn redenen om informatie niet te willen hebben? Is dit bewust negeren van informatie ethisch? En (hoe) kunnen we bewust negeren verklaren en voorspellen?

We live in an age where truth twists into confusion, opinion drowns out data, and it's increasingly difficult to figure out whose expertise we can trust.Where did our mistrust in expertise come from? Its roots stretch back to deliberate misinformation campaigns beginning in the 1950s spread by the likes of Big Tobacco, Big Oil, and conservative church movements. Then social media poured gasoline on the fire, accelerating the spread of misinformation and making sowing division highly profitable.Misinformation campaigns take advantage of our brains' natural tendency to protect the familiar and mistrust outgroups. And they capitalize on the very real betrayals people have experienced at the hands of corporations, governments, schools, and healthcare systems.Our challenge now isn't just knowing the facts, it's interrogating our own beliefs, asking where our evidence comes from, and resisting the pull of certainty. As leaders, we need to discern who we give our attention to, practice critical thinking, resist manufactured controversy, and platform voices committed to both truth and connection.Today's guest is a neuroscientist and author of Why Brains Need Friends, who works to make science accessible, relational, and rooted in respect. He doesn't focus on winning arguments or shaming people into submission. He focuses on bridging divides, building trust, and reminding us that our brains–and our lives–are wired for connection.Ben Rein, PhD is an award-winning neuroscientist and science communicator. He serves as the Chief Science Officer of the Mind Science Foundation, an Adjunct Lecturer at Stanford University, and a Clinical Assistant Professor at SUNY Buffalo. He has published over 20 peer-reviewed papers on the neuroscience of social behavior, and is the author of Why Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection. In addition, Rein educates an audience of more than 1 million social media followers and has been featured on outlets including Entertainment Tonight, Good Morning America and StarTalk with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He has received awards for his science communication from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, the Society for Neuroscience, and elsewhere.Listen to the full episode to hear:How an especially vivid nightmare redirected Ben's path to neuroscienceWhy the division and isolation of modern life is so bad for our brains and overall healthHow engaging with strangers isn't as awkward as we often think it is, and why we should do it moreHow small social interactions build our sense of belonging, community, and wellbeingWhy we need to recognize and then override our gut reactions to those we perceive as belonging to outgroupsHow social media sound bites vastly oversimplify the complex and unknown systems in our brainsWhy Ben's primary mission to to help people understand the value of looking to data and evidence rather than personalities and experiencesWhy we all have to get better at fact-checking and questioning why we're ready to believe somethingLearn more about Dr. Ben Rein:WebsiteInstagram: @dr.benreinWhy Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social ConnectionLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Golden Holocaust: Origins of the Cigarette Catastrophe and the Case for Abolition, Robert N Proctor"Assessing ExxonMobil's climate change communications (1977–2014),” Geoffrey Supran and Naomi Oreskes, 2017 Environmental Research Letters 12 084019The Creationists: From Scientific Creationism to Intelligent Design, Ronald L.

This is a rebroadcast of ep 168In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, Julie reviews a report on racial bias published by the Association for Psychological Science. We take a deep dive into what modern research says about racism, bias, and systemic disparities—and how these ideas are often misunderstood in public discussions.Julie explains the difference between racism, which involves hostility or intent, and bias, which can occur without conscious awareness or malice. We explore implicit bias (unconscious) versus explicit bias (conscious), and how these affect perception, behavior, and policy.The conversation also challenges the effectiveness of diversity training programs aimed at changing individual attitudes. Instead, the evidence shows that targeting institutional disparities produces better outcomes—aligning with the Libertarian perspective that systems, not thought policing, should be the focus of reform.Join us as we blend psychological science, critical thinking, and Libertarian philosophy to better understand one of today's most controversial and emotionally charged topics.Follow Us:YouTubeTwitterFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

In this groundbreaking episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD sits down with award-winning researcher and author Dr. Sarah Hill (This Is Your Brain on Birth Control) to reveal the shocking, little-known science of how hormonal contraception shapes not just your reproductive system, but your entire mind and body.From altered stress responses to shifts in attraction, depression risk in teens, and the controversial “bikini science” problem in medical research, Dr. Hill pulls back the curtain on decades of overlooked studies that every woman and parent should know about. She shares her own journey from evolutionary psychologist to outspoken women's health advocate, explaining why synthetic progestins are not the same as progesterone, how birth control affects your immune system, and why teenagers may be especially vulnerable to its mental health effects.If you're a woman in your teens, 20s, 30s, or 40s—or a parent guiding your daughter—this episode could change the way you think about hormone health, fertility, and your body's natural rhythms.Dr. Hill and Dr. Taz discuss:How birth control changes the brain's structure and functionThe difference between progesterone and synthetic progestins (and why it matters)Why “bikini science” has failed women in medical researchThe surprising link between birth control and partner attractionThe immune system's hidden connection to hormonal cyclingTeen mental health risks: depression, anxiety, and brain developmentSafer contraceptive choices and how to support your body if you use the pillHow nutrition and micronized progesterone might help offset side effectsThis conversation is more than just information — it's a wake-up call for how we study, prescribe, and support women's health.Topics Covered:Hormonal birth control's impact on the brainSynthetic hormones vs. bioidentical hormonesPartner choice and relationship satisfaction researchAutoimmunity and immune system differences in womenMental health risks for adolescent usersNon-hormonal birth control optionsNutritional and hormonal support strategiesConnect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.About Dr. Sarah E.

Getting along in society requires that we mostly adhere to certainly shared norms and customs. Often it's not enough that we all know what the rules are, but also that everyone else knows the rules, and that they know that we know the rules, and so on. Philosophers and game theorists refer to this as common knowledge. In Steven Pinker's new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows..., he explores how common knowledge (or its absence) explains money, power, and a wide variety of subtextual human interactions.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/09/22/329-steven-pinker-on-rationality-and-common-knowledge/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Steven Pinker received his Ph.D. in psychology from Harvard University. He is currently the Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. He is the author of several best-selling books and recipient of several honorary doctoral degrees.

Welcome to Season 10! In our opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Michelle Miller—Professor of Psychological Sciences and President's Distinguished Teaching Fellow at Northern Arizona University—to explore the simple yet powerful practice of learning students' names. Drawing upon her research in memory, attention, and the impact of technology on learning, Dr. Miller shares how addressing students by name fosters belonging and community in the classroom. We also discuss the practical challenges faculty face in remembering so many new names and faces. Together, we review practical strategies to strengthen memory and build instructor confidence in this vital classroom practice.Learn more about Dr. Miller's work in her publication - Minds Online: Teaching Effectively with Technology.
We are all aware that mental/emotional well-being is essential to maintain on a surface level. But on a deeper level, research shows us over & over that emotional skills are thee foundation to human happiness & success. There is no such thing as a solely logical person. Emotions are what make us human, and we must learn how to interact with them, not because we're whiny or soft, but because emotions drive humanity. Emotions are at the root of everything humans do, and whether or not we will survive.(Please excuse my runny nose in this one

Ever worry that excellent performance might not be “good enough?” And maybe you've assumed that aiming for perfection is a safer bet? You're not alone, for what it's worth! But it's always interesting to get some actual data on this sort of thing, so a team of researchers conducted a series of studies to see if striving for perfection had benefits beyond aiming for excellence.

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse and Father Paul Sullins unpack the myths and political narratives surrounding “conversion therapy,” sharing insights from their amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court. They challenge the American Psychological Association's portrayal of sexual orientation change efforts, expose the lack of rigorous evidence behind mainstream claims, and highlight how research on contributing factors—like childhood trauma—has been sidelined. The conversation also examines historical shifts in psychiatric policy, the suppression of certain kinds of research, and key studies showing that ethical, client-led therapy can yield psychological benefits without the coercive practices often cited by opponents.

In 1985, Coca-Cola changed its flavour. You probably know that this was a complete failure. ‘New Coke' was discontinued after just 79 days. But you probably don't know the true reason why New Coke failed. Many claim it was due to poor market research, but today's guest on Nudge, leading consumer behaviour expert Philip Graves, disagrees. Philip says New Coke failed not because the research was poor, but because market research is inherently flawed. Want to understand the biggest marketing blunder of the century? Listen to today's Nudge. --- Phil's book: https://shorturl.at/kzAta Phil's consultancy: https://www.philipgraves.net/consultancy/ Subscribe to the (free) Nudge Newsletter: https://nudge.ck.page/profile Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/ Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ --- Today's sources: Dutton, D.

Join the Essentials of Slink waitlist: https://mailchi.mp/slinkthroughstrength.com/essentials-of-slink In this episode of the Science of Slink podcast, host Dr. Rosy Boa engages in an enlightening conversation with researcher and pole dancer Nadia Ahadi (@psychpoleogy on IG) from the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne. They delve into Nadia's recent qualitative study on body image among competitive women pole dancers, discussing key findings such as the emphasis on body functionality over appearance, the sense of community within the competitive pole space, and the role of autonomy and self-expression in empowerment. The episode also touches on the challenges of standardizing skill levels in pole dance, the complexities of body comparisons, and the impact of competition environments on body image. Nadia's insights draw from her own experiences as a pole dancer and her academic work at the University of Melbourne.Are you a pole nerd interested in trying out online pole classes with Slink Through Strength?

From the earliest months of life, we rely on faces to help us navigate the world. They tell us who's safe, who's familiar, and whether they're paying attention to us. But do our responses to faces develop gradually as our brains mature? Or are we born prewired to lock onto the human face. In this episode of Under the Cortex, cognitive scientists Rebecca Saxe of MIT and Heather Kosakowski of Harvard University join host Scott Sleek to discuss their groundbreaking findings, published in Current Directions in Psychological Science, about the development of the brain's face-processing network.

It's not controversial to say that we are living in times of deep division, where there are so many forces keeping us apart, politics being a big part of that. But did you know that there's a link between how satisfied you think you are with your life, how much you trust others, and how you vote? It's a mind-blowing, less-discussed topic, despite being a chapter in the latest World Happiness Report. Importantly, to make a difference, we wonder this - how do we actually build trust with people who hold different viewpoints, especially if our first impulse is to block them, disregard their comments, or ignore them entirely? We're so glad today to have one of the co-authors of the World Happiness Report here to talk with us about how we can use our understanding of wellbeing and trust to build stronger communities, reconnect with each other, and also bridge the politics of division. What to listen for: What the World Happiness Report is Despite our focus on class struggle or traditional ideologies as the explanation for why people vote a certain way, it's actually more about life satisfaction and trust. The wallet study The truth - that unhappy people are attracted by the extremes of the political spectrum. Low-trust people are found more often on the far right, whereas high-trust people are more inclined to vote for the far left. How we can rebuild trust in community, one meal at a time About our guest: Jan-Emmanuel De Neve is Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Oxford, where he also directs the Wellbeing Research Centre. He is best known for his research on the economics of wellbeing which has led to new insights into the relationship between happiness and income, productivity, firm performance, and economic growth. His pioneering research is published in the leading academic journals across multiple disciplines, including Science, Nature, The Review of Economics and Statistics, Psychological Science,world we Management Science, Journal of Political Economy, and the British Medical Journal. His research was recognized among "The Management Ideas That Mattered Most" by Harvard Business Review and he currently guides the world's largest study on workplace wellbeing in partnership with Indeed. De Neve co-authored the main textbook on wellbeing science with Richard Layard, is an editor of the World Happiness Report, and co-founder of the World Wellbeing Movement. Additionally, he serves as a member of the UN Expert Group on Wellbeing Measurement. De Neve frequently consults for governments and major corporations, and his insights on wellbeing and policy are sought by leading global media. Two of his books include Wellbeing: Science and Policy, and Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters.
Pay attention. Focus on your breathing. Live in the moment. Accept yourself. Do you have a self? Focus on that self. And so on.

How would you encourage sustainable behaviour? You might assume logical messages work best. Stuff like “the average three-hour flight creates ~250–400 kg of CO₂”. But today's guest on Nudge has tested logical messages. And they don't work. Today on Nudge, Toby Park from the Behavioural Insights Team explains how renaming a meat-free dish doubled its sales. Why targeting home-movers made Americans 400% more likely to cycle. How social norms can increase sales by 20%. And the reframing led the majority of Brits to choose energy-efficient fridges. --- Watch the bonus episode: https://nudge.kit.com/27720ca0ad Connect with Toby on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toby-park-67773279/ Read Toby's Net Zero Report: https://shorturl.at/Wy8RP How to Build a Net Zero Society: https://shorturl.at/0PcRk Sign up for my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/ Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ --- Sources: Das, G., Spence, M.

Generalizations about ADHD haven't done girls any favors. ADHD often manifests very differently in girls than in boys. What causes parents, educators, and even doctors, to view the symptoms of ADHD differently with girls? We know that masking, and even variations in environments, often cause symptoms to be missed. How is that happening? We're revisiting the subject and chat with Stephen Hinshaw, a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UC San Francisco. Find out more about building neurodiversity-affirming schools, and about the courses we'll be offering soon, here. Stephen P. Hinshaw is Distinguished Professor of Psychology at UC Berkeley and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UC San Francisco. His focus is on developmental psychopathology, child and adolescent mental health (particularly ADHD), and the use of clinical trials to understand underlying mechanisms. He also actively investigates mental illness stigmatization and attempts to reduce such stigma. Hinshaw has authored over 400 articles, chapters, and commentaries, plus 12 books. He has won numerous national and international research awards, including the James McKeen Cattell Fellow Award from the Association for Psychological Science, the Distinguished Scientific Contributions Award from the American Psychological Association, and the Sarnat International Prize in Mental Health from the National Academy of Medicine. He was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2021. His extensive media coverage includes the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Today Show, CBS Evening News, ABC World News Tonight, and many more.

Drawing on developmental psychology and research, she explains how boredom helps children develop creativity, autonomy, and emotional regulation. You'll hear stories about J.K. Rowling, Albert Einstein, and Thomas Edison—all of whom had major breakthroughs during moments of stillness—and learn why screens might be getting in the way of your child's imagination.Dr Jessica Hochman shares practical tips on how to reset your child's attention, protect downtime, and welcome boredom into your family's summer.If you're feeling pressure to overschedule your child, or if you're hearing a lot of “I'm bored!” this summer, this episode will help you reframe those moments as opportunities for growth.Credited StudiesEastwood et al – The unengaged mind: Defining boredom in terms of attention.
