Civilization VII was announced today.

The Civ series is sort of like Ender’s Game, but for management rather than murdering aliens. Business school students who were good at Civ V also turn out to be better planners, organizers, and problem-solvers, in this small experiment.

Thank you for sharing. In another study, we found that better virtual reality (VR) players are more intelligent (correlation, no causation). https://t.co/1PDD7rlE7N

Games & fluid intelligence:
⌨️Performance in MOBAs like League & Dota correlates with intelligence
🎮Performance in FPSs like Battlefield 3 don't show the same pattern
🏙️ In a separate small study, good Civilization V players are better planners, organizers & problem-solvers

#GreenTech promotion: A study led by LMU researchers @BarDominik and @stfeuerriegel, @markusweinmann (@UniCologne) and @tinglinl (@RSMErasmus) shows that effective #communication can significantly increase willingness to invest in green #energy sources.

Green tech fosters the use of green energy; however, investment costs hinder adoption. Bar et al. show that message framing can promote a serious commitment to solar panels among the broader public. #nudging #behavior #CleanEnergy https://t.co/FacTtSO4gf

[Markus Weinmann @markusweinmann]

We recently published a paper in @NatureComms showing that minor behavioral interventions (message framing) can boost the adoption of solar panels (by up to 40%).

🎉New paper @NatureComms: "Message framing to promote solar panels"

🌎#Green #technologies such as solar panels are key for #clean #energy
💰 However, #solar #panels are large investments

👉Our solution: #nudging people to buy solar panels

As a "Civilization" player for 30 years, it's not that I need another excuse, but here goes: Civ 6 players tested much higher on organizational and planning tests in a scientific study compared to their non-gaming counterparts.
