Iowa State University: Iowa State Study Finds Adding a ‘decoy option’ may give extra boost to crowdfunding. “Adding a third option to make something else (usually the higher priced item) more attractive is a common marketing strategy. But since the 1980s, scholars have been debating whether this attraction effect via a ‘decoy option’ actually works in real-life settings. Findings from a […]

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee: Reminding people they’re talking to chatbots could be harmful, researchers say. “The researchers say that reminding chatbot users of their companions’ non-human nature may be useful in some contexts, but these reminders must be carefully crafted and timed to avoid unintended negative consequences.”

University of St Andrews: New research shows how to challenge the rising tide of global hate. “Drawing on evidence spanning psychology, economics, political science, sociology, and history, the team of international researchers show that hate is not an inevitable aspect of human nature. Rather it is systematically built, mobilised and justified across generations. Critically, by understanding […]

Some studies say people have two main needs in love: to feel close and to seek new partners. These needs can sometimes conflict, which might explain why cheating happens. It's a complex topic for everyone.

University of Exeter: Generative AI does not just hallucinate at us, it can hallucinate with us, study warns. “When generative AI systems produce false information, this is often framed as AI ‘hallucinating at us’—generating errors that we might mistakenly accept as true. But a new study argues we should pay attention to a more dynamic phenomenon: how we can come to hallucinate with AI.”

Brigham Young University: Online meetings have benefits — but in-person interaction remains irreplaceable, BYU psychologist says. “The researchers reviewed more than 1,000 studies comparing face-to-face interaction with computer-based communication. They found that online communication can offer some benefits and support in-person relationships, but fully replacing face-to-face interaction […]

Choosing Honesty and Authenticity (If Not Me, Then Who? If Not Now, Then When?)

I often reflect on the tension between the reality that everyone bends, masks, or distorts the truth and my desire to live openly, honestly, and authentically. Recognizing that truth exists on a spectrum doesn’t make me cynical; it makes me deliberate. It makes me realize that honesty is a choice—one that requires courage, persistence, and sometimes discomfort. And that choice is even more urgent when I consider the stakes: if I don’t commit to being honest, who will? And if I don’t […]

Striving for Honesty and Authenticity (Even When It’s Hard)

After coming to terms with the idea that everyone lies in some form—through omission, distortion, masking, or self-deception—I started to think about what it means to live differently. To live in a way that doesn’t deny the spectrum of truth, but leans into it intentionally. To strive for honesty and authenticity, even when it’s difficult. Even when the easier, socially comfortable, or self-protective path would be to bend, mask, or withhold. Being honest isn’t simple. It’s not a […]

Everyone Is a Liar (And That Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means)

For a long time, I thought the idea that “everyone is a liar” was lazy, cynical, and frankly kind of dumb. It sounded like something people said when they were hurt, jaded, or trying to excuse their own dishonesty. It felt like an overgeneralization, a blunt instrument used to flatten human complexity into a single bitter conclusion. Surely not everyone lies. Surely there are people who tell the truth, who value honesty, who try to live without deception. I believed that. I wanted to […]
