People reliably overestimate how selfish, greedy, and dishonest others are. This gets in the way of relationships, communities, and social progress. Why do we fall for this trap? Excited for our lab's first step into the study of cynicism, led by the brilliant @EricNeumannPsy!
FIRST FIRST-AUTHOR PAPER ACCEPTED!! 🥹 @zakijam and I argue in Trends in Cognitive Sciences that people easily get trapped in a cynical mindset. People can overestimate others' self-interest, create it through their expectations, or overstate their own to not appear naïve. 1/6

Can't believe this work w/ Anita Tusche is *finally* out. https://t.co/DG1yaz5bW5. We find evidence accumulation (not self-control) may better explain why dlPFC activates for generous v. selfish and healthy v. unhealthy choices. Thanks @Todd_A_Hare & @HPlassmann for sharing data!

The brain is the "influencer" of the body. It tells other body parts what to do, but it is just chasing rewards for itself.

Remember that you are not omniscient or infallible. Your brain is less than 7 inches on its longest side. It works hard, but it's only a little brain in a big world.

We show that (and how) peer presence can be leveraged as a force for societal good when adolescents are given opportunities to engage in prosocial behavior. One last thing – all open access including data + code: https://t.co/Wrccvc9hv8
