Research by @atirstav & Risen suggests explaining learned materialāa very effective learning strategyāis underused because of the self-threatening nature of knowledge reflection involved in explaining, and offers remedies to overcome this reluctance: https://t.co/p9IjASlByT

After lecturing on findings that show that, while they donāt predict it, talking to strangers makes people happy (ā¦@AtirStavā©) I asked my students how a 3-min dance party would feel and then played Dance With a Stranger by ā¦@lakestreetdiveā© ā¦ 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 On Buffett, Moneyball, and mebamectin https://t.co/fNon9byMhr

Are you staying within your circle of competence? In recent research, we explain why feeling like an expert often leads to overestimating your knowledgeāand 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.

For example, we tested doctors, med students, and pre-meds with a list of medical terms, including some bogus ones. Doctors and med students were slightly better at saying "I don't know" than pre-meds.

Do experts know what they DON'T know? Sort of. Our new paper suggests that expertise has a small but detectable effect on recognizing oneās own ignorance. @daviddunning6

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? 1/n https://t.co/1iDttLNPWe

Choose your words carefully, or so the old saying goes. Though usually meant in the context of maintaining harmony in human relationships, thereās another reason we should choose our wordsā¦

Loneliness is on the rise, yet people remain reluctant to connect with strangers. Why, and what can we do? A new piece I wrote with @drxuanzhao and @tweetsbymidge for Current Opinion in Psychology. https://t.co/soFgAgdVGe

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.

A nice piece by On Wisconsin on talking to strangers.
Itās ever more possible to conduct life without engaging face-to-face with others. But check out a new @UWBusiness study, which finds that not talking to strangers can lead to worse decisions and diminished well-being. @AtirStav @UWMadison @LeiahFundell

People are generally happier to help than we think. Fantastic paper by @drxuanzhao!
Across 6 experiments (e.g., live interactions in field & lab), we found those in need of help tend to underestimate how willing and motivated others are to help and how positive helpers feel afterwards. Putting a prosocial lens (back) to why people help!
