Scientific evidence regularly guides policy decisions
Pervading global narratives suggest that political polarization is increasing, yet the accuracy of such group meta-perceptions has been drawn into question. A recent US study suggests these beliefs are inaccurate and drive polarized about out-groups. However, it also found informing people inaccuracies reduces those negative beliefs. In this work, we explore whether results generalize to other countries. To achieve this, replicate two original experiments with 10,207 participants across 26...
Economic inequality is associated with preferences for smaller, immediate gains over larger, delayed ones.

Social and behavioral science research proliferated during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting substantial increase in influence of public health policy more broadly. This review presents a comprehensive assessment 742 scientific articles on human behavior COVID-19. Two independent teams evaluated 19 substantive recommendations (“claims”) potentially critical aspects behaviors pandemic drawn from most widely cited papers Teams were made up original authors an team, all whom blinded to other...

A pervading global narrative suggests that political polarisation is increasing in the US and around world. Beliefs increased impact individual group behaviours regardless of whether they are accurate or not. One driver beliefs about how members out-group perceive us, known as meta-perceptions. 2020 study by Lees Cikara samples not only meta-perceptions highly inaccurate, but informing people this inaccuracy reduces negative out-group. Given importance these findings for understanding...
Abstract Background and aims Subjective confidence plays an important role in guiding behaviour, especially when objective feedback is unavailable. Systematic misjudgements can foster maladaptive behaviours have been linked to various psychiatric disorders. In this study, we adopted a transdiagnostic approach examine biases problem gamblers across three levels: local decision confidence, global task performance overall self-esteem. The importance of taking perspective increasingly...
Subjective confidence plays an important role in guiding behaviour, especially when objective feedback is unavailable. Systematic misjudgements can lead to maladaptive behaviours and have been linked various psychiatric disorders. This study investigated biases problem gamblers compared demographically matched control participants. Confidence was examined across different hierarchical levels of metacognition, encompassing local decision confidence, global task performance overarching...
Economic inequality is associated with extreme rates of temporal discounting, which a behavioral pattern where individuals choose smaller, immediate financial gains over larger, delayed gains. Such patterns may feed into rising global inequality, yet it unclear if they are function choice preferences or norms, rather absence sufficient resources to meet needs. It also not clear these reflect true differences in between income groups. We test discounting and five intertemporal anomalies using...
Kahneman and Tversky’s 1979 article on Prospect Theory is one of the most influential papers across all behavioural sciences. The study tested a series binary financial (risky) choices, ultimately concluding that judgments formed under uncertainty deviate significantly from those presumed by expected utility theory, which was prevailing theoretical construct at time. In forty years since publication, this has had remarkable impact science, policy, other real-world applications. At same time,...
When performing tasks in a social context, individuals tend to report confidence judgments that increasingly align with those of others over time. However, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, termed
Abstract Actions are guided by a combination of external cues, internal intentions and stored knowledge. Self-initiated voluntary actions , produced without any immediate cue, may be preceded slow EEG Readiness Potential (RP) that progressively increases prior to action. The cognitive significance this neural event is controversial. Some accounts link the RP fact timing generated endogenously, constraints, perhaps even randomly. Other take as reflecting unique role planning, therefore...
