  1. Parenting Doesn’t Matter (Or Not As Much As You Think)

    ‘Raising Happy Kids‘, ‘The Conscious Parent‘, ‘How to Talk so Kids Will Listen‘: Books like these, along with magazines, television shows and childcare experts, are all part of the multibillion-pound parenting industry. Follow our advice, they promise, and you can shape your children to be joyful, resilient and successful.

    But what if it’s all bunk? What if parenting doesn’t make much of a difference at all to the way our kids turn out? That’s the argument that will be made by the genetics experts in this major Intelligence Squared debate. We all know about the nature vs nurture argument, but it’s only recently that evidence has emerged revealing just how much of who we are is influenced by our DNA – from our personality and our likelihood of developing mental illness to how well we do at school. We might think that certain parenting styles produce certain kinds of children – for example, that overprotective parents cause their offspring to be anxious. But in fact, research suggests that these traits are manifestations of the same gene…

  2. Happy City – Charles Montgomery

    For years, self-help experts have told us that we need to do inner work in order to improve our lives. But what if our cities themselves had the power to make or break our happiness?

    Drawing on brain science, psychology, and rich personal stories, Charles Montgomery explains how cities influence how we feel, behave, and treat other people in ways most of us never realize.

    Everything from our transportation systems to the depth of our front yards has an unseen effect on our minds, emotions, and social lives.

    Charles Montgomery uses fascinating and often funny social experiments to demonstrate that we are not helpless. We can change our lives by changing our relationship with our cities—and each other.

    By understanding the effect that design has on our emotions and decisions, we can all share this empowering new vision of city life.

  3. Workforce Futures Initiative | LIVE STREAM

    The Workforce Futures Initiative (WFI) is a collaboration among the American Enterprise Institute, the Brookings Institution, and the Harvard Kennedy School Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy. The initiative reviews the latest research and evidence on various aspects of the workforce development system to help inform the work of policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels. Since August 2021, the group has provided a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss policy ideas, evaluate evidence, and identify priorities for new research on the future of work and the public workforce system.

    Join the WFI steering committee as it presents key themes and findings from the WFI and launches a new public website repository for the initiative’s work.

  5. Riada and Jay Van Bavel on ”Power of US” - Harnessing Our Shared Identities

    In today’s fascinating conversation, Riada talks to Dr. Jay Van Bavel about the dynamics of shared identities, what causes people to develop a social identity, and what happens to people when they define themselves in terms of group memberships. Identities are not a stable or a static thing, but Jay also explained what does conformity to norm accomplish for a group.

    We also addressed toxic patterns of standard group and identity dynamics, and you might be surprised to learn why we go along with others. Jay told us about studies that reveal some critical lessons about human nature, including that people are not blindly obedient to authorities, but that a sense of common identity is crucial to understanding when people help and support one another. Learn why dissent is important even when difficult, and why on social media or offline, people can be led into belief-confirming information bubbles.

    Finally, learn about the importance of leadership and how it influences the group norms, and the behavior of the group of people when they take on an identity. I hope you enjoy this great conversation, and appreciate the tools that you can learn to harness “The Power of Us” for good.

    Jay Van Bavel is an Associate Professor of Psychology & Neural Science at New York University, an affiliate at the Stern Scho…

  6. Jay Van Bavel: The Human Mind Evolved in Groups

    In this webinar, Jay Van Bavel will present a series of behavioral and neuroimaging evidence suggesting that humans are deeply sensitive to group contexts and that their group-identities shape a wide range of cognitive processes.

    The first part of his talk will examine the influence of group membership and collective identification on person perception and automatic evaluation. The second part of his talk will examine the influence of group membership on mind perception. The third part of his talk will examine the influence of group membership on more basic aspects of perception (i.e., distance estimation and olfaction). Taken together, this research suggests that group contexts exert a profound influence on human cognition.

    Jay Van Bavel (PhD University of Toronto) is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at New York University. Dr. Van Bavel has published over 30 academic papers in some of the top journals in psychology and neuroscience (e.g., Psychological Science, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Emotion, Social Cognitive & Affective Neuroscience). His research has been cited in more than 850 scholarly papers and has been covered in several international media outlets, including Newsweek, The New Yorker, The Huffington Post, The Daily Telegraph, CBC News, Women’s Health, and Salon. He is curr…

  7. RR #214 - Jay Van Bavel: Shared Identities and Decision Making

    Identity helps shape our perception and thinking about the world around us. What is identity? How does it influence our perspective? These are some of the questions we answer in this episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast. In this episode, we talk with Jay Van Bavel, an Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of New York, an affiliate at the Stern School of Business in Management and Organizations, and Director of the Social Identity and Morality Lab. He is also co-author of the book The Power of Us, which provides readers with cutting-edge research in psychology and neuroscience to explain how identity really works and how we can harness it for the better. His research focuses on how group identities, moral values, and political beliefs shape the mind, brain, and behaviour. He has published over 100 academic publications on the topic and has won various awards for his research achievements. In our conversation, we unpack the complexity of identity and its influence on our perspective and decision-making abilities. We cover aspects such as the differences between self-identity and group identity, how to be aware of your biases, the role that leaders play in influencing identity, and how identity plays out in social relationships. We also talk about how group identity in…

  8. An Interview with Barbara Oakley: Author of Uncommon Sense Teaching & Learn Like a Pro

    Learn techniques to help master any material based on neuroscience and cognitive psychology. Neuroscientists and cognitive scientists have made enormous strides in understanding the brain and how we learn, but little of that insight has filtered into the way teachers teach. Barb applies this research to the classroom for teachers, educators, and anyone interested in improving education. Topics include keeping learners motivated and engaged especially with online learning, helping learners remember information long term, and teaching inclusively in a diverse setting where students have a wide range of abilities.
