Behavioral Science
Why people do what they do
Behavioral science sits at the intersection of psychology, economics, and neuroscience — studying how people actually make decisions, as opposed to how rational models predict they should. Building on the work of Daniel Kahneman, Amos Tversky, Richard Thaler, and Dan Ariely, this field reveals the cognitive biases, heuristics, and social influences that shape our choices every day. These articles explore concepts like loss aversion, anchoring, the endowment effect, and nudge theory, with practical takeaways for understanding yourself and others.
