Behavioral science builds understanding of how people psychologically react and behaviorally respond to interventions, environments and stimuli.
Behavioral science:
…is a relatively new field.
…insights often run counter to conventional wisdom and common practice.
…can help us challenge misguided interventions or even flaws in the basic set-up of people management.
To the cubes!
Behavioral economics examines how social and regulatory systems create incentives and constraints, thus shedding light on what influences individual and group behavior.
Cognitive psychology looks at behavior and thought processes and how people respond to stimuli. Here the emphasis is more on individuals than social systems.
Behavioral or social neuroscience looks at brain activity, (fMRI, EEG) and links this to mental processes and tasks. It can illuminate similarities in how we respond to situations and sheds light on how mental processes are prioritized.

groupthink:
mode of thinking that happens when the desire for harmony in a decision-making group overrides a realistic appraisal of alternatives. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative ideas or viewpoints.

“…being excluded from a group triggers activity in the same regions of the brain associated with
physical pain.”

pygmalion effect
Based on research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson, showing that biased expectations
affect reality and create self-fulfilling prophecies as a result.
confirmation bias
Our tendency to search for or interpret new information in a way that confirms preconceptions and
avoids information and interpretations which contradict
prior beliefs.
fundamental attribution error
An unjustified tendency to assume that a person’s actions depend on what kind of person that person is
rather than on the social environmental forces influencing
the person.
good person
This is a good person.
good person bad person
This is a good person.
bad person
It requires no hatred or fear to assign meaning to (or judge) the
things that we see, we do it automatically.
The problem is that we forget, do not realize, or deny that this even
happens.

automatic, incredibly fast, with
little or no effort and no sense
of voluntary control:
• detect that one object is more
distant than another
• orient to the source of a sound
• complete the phrase “bread
and…”
• detect hostility in a voice
• answer 2+2=?
• drive a car on an empty road
• automatic responses
Fast. Efficient.
Not terribly accurate.

demand it…concentration,
effort, intention are involved:
• look for a woman with white
hair
• monitor the appropriateness of
your own behavior
• fill out a tax form
• answer 97+23+19=?
• park in a narrow space
• intentional responses
Slow. Inefficient. Very accurate.

Using data from actual auditions for 8 orchestras over the period when screens were introduced, auditions with screens substantially increased the probability that women were advanced (within the orchestra) and that women were hired. These results parallel those found in many studies of the impact of blind review of journal article submissions.Caffrey, M. (1997, May 12). Blind auditions help women. Princeton Weekly Bulletin. Based on Goldin, C & Rouse, C. (2000). Orchestrating impartiality: The impact of “blind” auditions on female musicians. American Economic Review, 90, 715–741.
1.Clear outcomes.
2.Consider the human experience.
3.Become a student of human behavior.
4.Experiment.
