It's turning out that "people who ‘think outside the box’ are better at assessing misinformation and bullshit". Insight problem-solving ability predicts reduced susceptibility to fake news, bullshit, and overclaiming tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… @BarrNathaniel @joeydunsmoor #fakenews
Offered my thoughts in this collection- given the anthropogenic roots of our most dire challenges, behavioral science has critical role. It is important to advocate for scientific approaches to policy, not simply apply specific insights from past research.

As 2020 draws to a close, we look back at when @behscientist asked to imagine what the next decade of behavioral science would hold. Many leading behavioral scientists weighed in on this special section, such as @BEworks @KellyBEworks & @BarrNathaniel hubs.ly/H0B-NqF0
Happy to report that I received a @sheridancollege People Award for creativity today- thanks to all of my students, collaborators, and research partners.
Info on our new project to design, test, and disseminate creative interventions aimed at combating the spread of COVID-19 #misinformation online. @sheridancollege collab with @BEworks, @MediaSmarts, @GordPennycook, @paul_seli and @DG_Rand. #behavioralscience #CheckThenShare

People preferred product ideas generated by ChatGPT over ideas generated by other people. I’m curious to see ChatGPT vs. people on idea evaluation and selection. Do we still have an edge there?
👀I hear folks say “AI can’t be creative” but… ChatGPT-4 generated more, cheaper & better ideas than folks in an innovation class. “More important, the vast majority of the best ideas in the pooled sample are generated by ChatGPT and not by the students” papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
