Research by @atirstav & Risen suggests explaining learned material—a very effective learning strategy—is underused because of the self-threatening nature of knowledge reflection involved in explaining, and offers remedies to overcome this reluctance: buff.ly/4g2sxyX

After lecturing on findings that show that, while they don’t predict it, talking to strangers makes people happy (⁦@AtirStav⁩) I asked my students how a 3-min dance party would feel and then played Dance With a Stranger by ⁦@lakestreetdive⁩ … and they danced!

People who think they're an expert claim knowledge about nonexistent things; real expertise helps people stay within their "circle of competence" instead. From Harvard Business Review. w/ @atirstav On Buffett, Moneyball, and mebamectin hbr.org/2024/09/resear…

Are you staying within your circle of competence? In recent research, we explain why feeling like an expert often leads to overestimating your knowledge—and how real expertise can protect you. We discuss our results in this HBR article. W/ @daviddunning6 bit.ly/3ZOwq66

In an internal meta-analysis of 17 studies, greater expertise was linked with less "overclaiming" knowledge of bogus terms within one's domain of expertise. The effect was larger when controlling for self-perceived expertise.

For example, we tested doctors, med students, and pre-meds with a list of medical terms, including some bogus ones. Doctors and med students were slightly better at saying "I don't know" than pre-meds.

Should we require a higher standard of proof for counterintuitive results in behavioural science?

Anyone know of any pre-registered experiments testing the happiness benefits of ANY workplace interventions (eg, flexible work policies, email-free Fridays, workweek reductions)? We can find ZERO, which seems crazy.
