 Maria Popova (@brainpicker)8/29/14 9:28 PM The psychology of self-controlj.mp/XZKTu7 |
Ever since psychology godfather William James first expounded the crucial role of habitin how we live and who we become, modern psychology has sought to figure out how we can rewire our bad habits, maximize our willpower, and use habits to optimize our productivity. And yet, if the market for self-help books and to-do apps and productivity tools is any indication, a great many of us still struggle with either understanding the psychology of habit and willpower or applying it to what really matters
..a great many of us still struggle with either understanding the psychology of habit and willpower or applying it to what really matters.
In one study of self-control, participants first had to resist the temptation to eat chocolate (they had a radish instead); then they were given a frustrating task to do. The test was to see how long they would persist. Radish-eaters only persisted on the task for about 8 minutes, while those who had gorged on chocolate kept going for 19 minutes. The mere act of exerting willpower saps the strength for future attempts.

That’s why we have to test the tests—to see what the outcomes of our measurements are in the real world. And if those outcomes don’t match what our tests tell us, then you need to change the instrument. If we designed a different kind of assessment to get at what Rita and I both see as a very fluid and collaborative process of sense-making and understanding, we’d have a very different world.

like lessig - fixing the system - rather than scraping it.. or at least a much deeper prune - refocus
For example, it’s a known fact that most pre-med students fail their biostatistics class.
working toward biostatistics class...?
But, given the fact that corporations writ large don’t really have an impetus to educate people around the kind of skills that Anya and I have been talking about, I would ask: “Where are the critical life skills going to come from? Who’s going to actually educate these people?”
oh my.
The laudable side is where they want to provide context and focus on outcomes, where they’re fostering skills they’re want and need to see in the workforce.
workforce..? as a focus.. ?
There’s a reason education is a public good, because things that are publicly funded are things the market does not provide, and I think it’s very important to maintain that distinction—as it has been historically, so should it be in the future.
?
i think/hope this what i meant by above. public isn't centered on workforce ness - it's centered on - what it means to be human and alive.

"I think we’ve seen a real change over the past decade in the way our traditional institutions — the institutions of diplomacy and institutions like NATO — communicate and engage," says Nicco Mele, a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and the author of “The End of Big: How The Internet Makes David The New Goliath.”
But while the methods of communication have changed dramatically, Mele warns that regulations and norms have not kept up. "It's easy to think that Twitter is not a formal space for communication, but it can have unintended consequences," he says. "These words carry weight."
