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

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

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.
Do experts know what they DON'T know? Sort of.
Our new paper suggests that expertise has a small but detectable effect on recognizing one’s own ignorance.

Very excited to announce my new paper w/ @isobelaheck & @K_Kinzler on how kids think about censorship and depictions of harm! Would kids censor if given the chance? If so, why?

Huge congrats to @ambwinst and Markus Brauer (@brauerlab1) on the inauguration of the new Institute for Diversity Science. What a lineup of speakers from

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.
