City, University of London/The Other Lab: Trying to understand ourselves better: uncertainty, social behavior, unwanted information.

[Andreas Kappes @AnKappes]

NYTimes writes about our research (@mollycrockett @amnussberger @juliansavulescu), implications for motivating people to prevent spreading virus. The article misunderstands our research and its implications (https://t.co/FNWfQQabud). Just to clarify (thread)...

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

[Andreas Kappes @AnKappes]

@JimACEverett @KentPsychology @UniKent Boom, congrats.

[DW Global Media Forum @DW_GMF]

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.

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: https://t.co/0rmRGpGAah

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

@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

@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.

"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. https://t.co/3FFD0gRcKI

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

New report for ARD/WDR 'Trapped in Qatar (Part II). Thousands of workers are trapped in sealed off part of Industrial Area. Leaving them vulnerable for Covid-19. Concerning eye witness stories. Statements by Human Rights Experts @HZayadin & @NcGeehan https://t.co/G4K0Z9HjMK

This is excellent by @vaughanbell. Just because it is not in "intro to behavioural science" doesn't mean it is not a phenomenon.

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

@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)
