Rails Decisions, Decisions

Wrestling with any decisions today? Wondering whether to move to Minnesota or dump that guy or change your Facebook profile picture? Maybe you've also wondered what's going on when you make your choices in life, big and small.

 

Dan Ariely, the behavioral economist and author, is on the case. And rather than waiting to learn what his experiment has found, you can be a part of it.

 

Just go here and answer a few questions (it won't take more than 10-15 minutes), and you too can be a data point in the research. When Ariely has his results, I'll report in them here.

 

What do you say? Should you, or shouldn't you? Come on -- decide!

About Mind Matters

303 Posts since 2009

In markets, medicine, justice, politics, psychology, and economics, "Rational Man" is dead. As the science of human behavior enters the post-rational era, we no longer think of ourselves as cool calculators in pursuit of our objective self-interest. Mind Matters is about this change and its effects on how we live. It's about the reasons people perceive, feel, think, and act as they do, and the gaps between what we think we're doing and what research says we're doing. Most importantly, it's about how this sea change affects the institutions we live by: courts, hospitals, governments, stock markets and other entities that still run on the presumption that people act rationally.
