    "I believe in the professorial mandate, the deep commitment we must have to giving back knowledge because we get the privilege of being able to spend our days thinking. But that isn't just a matter of toiling in our worlds and then throwing knowledge out of the ivory tower. It's not just about making material open and hoping people will come. It's about actively engaging the very people that we seek to understand, contributing to the communities we spend time analyzing. To treat them respectfully and to understand our moral and ethical responsibility to them."

  • He says there are two aspects of behavioral work: trying to solve a behavioral problem, and doing so with a behavioral solution.
  • Social psychologists are interested in how people make sense of an experience, which can in turn direct their behavior.
  • "We begin a step back in the causal process," Mr. Walton says. As a result, social psychology’s interventions often strive to change how students see the social world around them, or actually change that world — for instance, by having teachers frame their feedback differently.
  • The approach is elegant, creative, and aligned with common sense.
  • It’s possible some people would argue that we act like completely rational beings, but probably not anyone who spends a lot of time around college students.
  • Given their low cost, behavioral solutions often appealing to funders and policy makers.
