Psychologically “wise” interventions: How they can help understand persistent social problems

There are many ways to think about persistent problems in social life and how to solve them. In this talk, beginning with a central example, Dr Greg Walton will introduce a distinctly social-psychological approach, called psychologically “wise” interventions: even brief exercises (e.g., an hour or less) that precisely address how people make sense of themselves, other people, and social situations. In at least some cases, they can transform people’s lives.

What are psychologically “wise” interventions and what are they not? How do they work? And how can we develop and use wise interventions in diverse contexts to help people flourish? The talk will be followed by a discussion with Professor Anandi Mani.
