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.

Loneliness is on the rise, yet people remain reluctant to connect with strangers. Why, and what can we do? A new piece I wrote with Xuan Zhao and Midge for Current Opinion in Psychology. authors.elsevier.com/a/1h973,rU%7EN…

Very excited to announce my new paper w/ @isobelaheck & Katherine Kinzler on how kids think about censorship and depictions of harm! Would kids censor if given the chance? If so, why? 1/n doi.org/10.1016/j.cogn…

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/ David Dunning bit.ly/3ZOwq66

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