How to argue with Julia Minson

Saison 3 · Épisode 70

mardi 11 octobre 2022 • Durée 37:39

In this episode of The Decision Corner, Brooke discusses disagreement with Julia Minson, an Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and former lecturer at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Her research explores the psychology behind disagreement and collaboration — why we often suck at turning the former into the latter, and how we can be better. Brooke and Julia dissect the thought processes that often fuel our discussions, how discussions turn into arguments (particularly, unproductive ones), and the reasons we can’t seem to figure out why. Julia gives us practical interventions, applicable on a personal level, that can help us avoid the feared Thanksgiving dinner screaming match and other conversations like it.

Specific topics include:

Advocacy v.s. Inquiry mindset
Why being a know-it-all is a problematic blindspot
How to effectively signal open-mindedness
Active listening: body language and verbal acknowledgement
Cognitive misconceptions about our counterpart’s open-mindedness
Scopes, baselines, and defaults
The role of asking questions, and how to ask them with genuine curiosity
Conversational receptiveness, intentional vocabulary, and the HEAR technique

In this episode of the podcast, Brooke speaks with John List, Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago and Chief Economist at Lyft.

Drawing from his career as an experimental economist and sharing stories from his own personal and professional life, John sheds light on the economic and psychological forces that influence the scalability of ideas, products and policies. Some of the things discussed include:

- The challenge of scaling great ideas, from the Petri-dish to the real world.

Some of the things covered include:

- What leads to chronic absenteeism and the barriers to effective school participation.

- Its impact on student success, grade levels, and the likelihood of progression to college.

Disgusting decision-making with Yoel Inbar

Saison 3 · Épisode 58

lundi 13 décembre 2021 • Durée 27:14

In this episode of the Decision Corner, Brooke speaks with Yoel Inbar - professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and expert in how the feeling of disgust influences human judgment and decision-making. Together they define what it really means to feel a sense of disgust and its evolutionary purpose as a means of preventing risk or harm (like stopping us from eating rotten food!). On the flip-side, we hear about the negative consequences of disgust and why it can lead to biased or flawed judgements.

Some of the things discussed include:

- What is disgust and what purpose does it serve from a biological or evolutionary perspective?

- Why justifying our disgust with moral reasoning, i.e. “It disgusts me so it must be wrong!” can be troublesome.

- Descriptive versus normative beliefs, and how disgust affects both in different ways.

- Does disgust affect people differently, and do some people get more ‘grossed out’ by things than others?

- Strategies to acknowledge our disgust, and allow us to question whether it’s serving us effectively or not.

Designing blueprints for behavior change with Ruth Schmidt

Saison 3 · Épisode 57

lundi 29 novembre 2021 • Durée 47:58

In this week’s episode, Brooke speaks to Ruth Schmidt, Associate Professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology’s Institute of Design, and expert in all things related to behavioral design and its application to organizational strategy. Their conversation looks at the evolution of choice architecture to a deeply human-centered evaluation of organizational systems and processes, and how it’s impacting behavioral change strategies, and ultimately, organizational success. Some of the things discussed include:

- How insights from behavioral science and behavioral design can be used to complement each other in addressing organizational challenges, despite their differences in approach.

- Balancing evidence of something working in the past, with evidence that something else may work in the future.

- How behavioral design can improve strategy - moving from choice architecture to choice infrastructure.

- Behavioral design and innovation. Having a true understanding of why you’re trying to innovate and aligning your systems, culture, and incentives with that ambition.

- The role of leadership, and why behavioral interventions need to be driven both from the top-down and the bottom-up.

Bringing Behavioral Science into the Real World with Dilip Soman

The Uber-fication of Public Transit with Remi Desa

Saison 3 · Épisode 53

lundi 18 octobre 2021 • Durée 26:29

Remi Desa, CEO and Co-Founder of Pantonium, sits down with Brooke to discuss his company’s innovative proposal to improve public transit: on-demand buses. Remi believes in a future where public buses can respond in real time to their users instead of following a set schedule. His concept has already been implemented in several cities in North America, demonstrating huge increases in bus ridership, and decreases in mileage and operating costs. Remi’s combined background in engineering and entrepreneurship has led him on a fruitful journey to change how we experience public transportation.

In this episode, Brooke and Remi discuss:

- The huge increase in digital communication and data that has made his vision a reality

- The North American tendency to treat public transportation as a last-resort, instead of a viable, efficient option

- The necessary spectrum between on-demand models and set schedule models

- Maintaining public transport accessibility

- Cities’ risk aversion to changing their transportation systems
