brain activity equity fair

shared by Parisa Rouhani on 25 Feb 10 - No Cached
  • people prefer a level playing field,
  • Our study shows that the brain doesn’t just reflect self-interested goals, but instead, these basic reward processing regions of the brain seem to be affected by social information
  • humans are attuned to inequality, and we just don't like it.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The researchers monitored signals in the striatum and prefrontal cortex , parts of the brain thought to be involved in how people evaluate rewards. They found that the brain activity in these areas was greater for the "rich" subjects when money was transferred to the other player than to themselves, whereas the "poor" subjects' brains showed the opposite pattern
  • n other words, everyone seemed to prefer a financial equality.
  • these regions were responding most when the outcome would be the most fair,

    In light of this week's reading around equity, I question the impact apps such as these will have on low-SES communities. Also, this app may have the unintended consequence of creating an additional requirement for the teacher and as a result more pressure.

    I met this woman this morning and her story made me think of a project based curriculum design. She created her own major in college around issues of equity in communities around the world. She combined that with an interest in ecological sustainability and she proceeded into a career with the question: How are all of these things related and how can we approach social issues with systemic interventions? Her work in New Bedford is as promising as initiatives like Geoffrey Canada's.
