Dan Ariely: Getting people to agree: A TED experiment


(MENAFN- ValueWalk)

In April Mariano Sigman and I (mostly Mariano) carried out an experiment at TED on how to get people to make better decisions and to agree! Here is the video and the writeup describing this and other experiments on the topic of how to get people to agree on difficult questions. An important challenge these days…..

The video:

And the ideas piece:
We all know that when we make decisions in groups, they don't always go right — and sometimes they go very wrong. How can groups make good decisions? With his colleague Dan Ariely, neuroscientist Mariano Sigman has been inquiring into how we interact to reach decisions by performing experiments with live crowds around the world. In this fun, fact-filled explainer, he shares some intriguing results — as well as some implications for how it might impact our political system. In a time when people seem to be more polarized than ever, Sigman says, better understanding how groups interact and reach conclusions might spark interesting new ways to construct a healthier democracy.

This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page.
