NYTimes writes about our research (@mollycrockett @amnussberger @juliansavulescu), implications for motivating people to prevent spreading virus. The article misunderstands our research and its implications (nyti.ms/335FwvR). Just to clarify (thread)...

@jmyearsley wow, that is quite an improvement, well done.

This is the first year I’ve really made a effort at running and it’s been fun to see myself progress from slow to slightly less slow! On Jan 1st my 10k PB was 50:44, today it’s 45:16. Very satisfying!

@JimACEverett @KentPsychology @UniKent Boom, congrats.

Why do people fall for #ConspiracyTheories? Why do some follow their leaders while others refuse to? And are scientists the secret superstars of 2020? DW's @SertanSanderson spoke to psychologist @AnKappes from @CityUniLondon about the role of behavioral science in #COVID19.

@NotionHQ @luebken +1

@luebken Yeah 😅 We don't support Grammarly yet (but if you'd like to enable spellcheck, just select text, right click, and enable it)

The social psychology of why we break Covid-19 rules — even when we know better, and even when we don't especially want to. My latest for @elemental: elemental.medium.com/why-even-the-m…

@apokerplayer Thanks, I will have a look at it. Nice looking figure!

@AnKappes Hi Dr. Kappes: I thought you might enjoy this piece I wrote compiling psych factors in how social media may be amplifying our divides/polarization apokerplayer.medium.com/how-social-med…

@siminevazire I was once told by a copyright lawyer that we (people who teach at university) own our lecture materials, even when created during working hours. So, please share

My university asked what would make remote working and teaching more effective. My answers. (Ok, I should probably have reversed the order - not much universities can do about number 1, but tons they can do about 2 & 3...)

@brockleycat @1969ajo Nevermind, found it: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.111…

@brockleycat @1969ajo Super interesting and thanks for these wonderful drawings. Do you have a citation for this effect? I would love to read more about it and google didn't give me the answers I wanted.

Behavioural economics on a post-it. #17. The Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn effect.

"For authorities, the key to encouraging vigilance and precaution without slamming the panic button may be to use the right language when talking about uncertainty." Nice write-up of our research on how different types of uncertainty affect compliance. nautil.us/issue/83/intel…

Latest interview by Dr. Heather Kappes @LSEManagement on how people spend, what economic research and economic experiments have taught us, and which research findings might be relevant for the post #COVID2019 life. @AndrewIvchenko expilab.com/dr-heather-kap…

This is excellent by @vaughanbell. Just because it is not in "intro to behavioural science" doesn't mean it is not a phenomenon. mindhacks.com/2020/03/20/do-…

@Yasemin4891 @simrankjx The running is probably more likely to kill him

@simrankjx ..... is she going to assassinate him? I'm concerned. Run Boris! Run!

Made it to the weird part of tik tok I see vm.tiktok.com/tX93DM/

@DavidMair4 @jayvanbavel @STWorg @tomstafford @hugoreasoning @neuropols There is also work by @garrett_neil showing that stress makes people more evenhanded when processing information, less biased. But it is probably also a question of dosage (Yerkes-Dodson)

“Fear is the enemy of reason” I thought anger was the enemy of reason, with fear driving information-seeking. What does psychology say? @jayvanbavel @STWorg @tomstafford @hugoreasoning @neuropols
