In a new paper we motivated people (n = 3,364), to be more accurate by providing financial incentives for correct responses about the veracity of true + false political news.

We improved accuracy + reduced partisan bias in judgements of headlines by 30% https://t.co/tVHHD8cPFo

The 2022 World Happiness Report (WHR) just pubbed. Lots of powerful insights, but I want to highlight one that doesn't seem to show up in the news:

Around the world, people have become *much* kinder during the pandemic, and that kindness is likely supporting our reslience.

New research on the "Facts don't care about your feelings" people.

It turns out they don't actually care that much about facts.
