Informazioni su questo podcast
Welcome to Unraveling Behavior, a science podcast where we uncover the patterns driving human judgment and decision making. In each episode, Dr. Ana Sofia Morais sits down with a researcher to explore how people make decisions, how they handle risk, and how our surroundings and the online world shape our behavior. Unraveling Behavior is a non-commercial initiative from the Center for Adaptive Rationality, a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin.
