There’s a well-known behavioural economics study from an Israeli nursery school that still feels counterintuitive.



Parents were often a few minutes late picking up their children.

Nothing dramatic. Five or ten minutes. Enough to feel slightly guilty.



The school introduced a small fine for every late pickup.

The idea was simple: if lateness has a cost, people will stop doing it.



The opposite happened.



After the fine was introduced, the number of late parents increased.

Even more in

Hi r/Social_Psychology,

I’m a freshman at university majoring in Media and Cinema Studies. Over the last few months, I’ve realized I’m deeply fascinated by behavioral science — especially how people respond to content, culture, and identity online.

I’ve started an independent research project over winter break, using my social media as a “research lab.” One of my most successful series, *“The Black Girl Chronicles,”* explores my experiences as a Black woman. These videos gained a lot of tracti

* The precuneus is a region often linked to self-reflection and mind-wandering.

* It points to a measurable brain-electrical correlate of happiness, moving beyond just questionnaires.

I feel like to make chicken thighs good you need to overcook them…they’re often nicely coloured and crispy on top but have a tepid underside.

They have these little pockets of fat on one side that never quite render down and so stay like jelly, they have a decent sized vein down the centre…

When deboned and put in a curry or similar they turn in to a vague looking chunk of meat that makes me feel the need to dissect it.

I recently read a paper that changed how I think about subjectivity.

Until now, I had always thought of subjectivity as simply “me” — something personal, private, and essentially the opposite of “objectivity.”

But the paper proposed a radically different idea: that subjectivity isn’t just a perspective on reality — it is the process by which reality is generated.

If that’s true, then the meaning of “reality” itself might shift.

What we’ve called “reality” so far may have been just the output

I’ve noticed something odd when people discuss lists online.

When the same ideas are presented as unordered points, people debate criteria and assumptions.

But once those same ideas are ranked or ordered, discussion shifts from “why” to “where it sits.”

Even when people know the ranking is subjective, the order seems to reduce questioning.

Why does ordering information change how willing we are to debate it?

Hello all,

# Introduction

I am looking for information, articles or books about the cognitive psychology of writing and reading.

I apologize if I use the wrong terminology, I am only a technical writer.

# Background

Over the past 30 years or so, technical writing has moved away from desktop publishing (Microsoft Word or similar) to what is called "single sourcing", meaning that:

* Text is written as small chunks of text.
* These chunks are then stored in a database and then
* Reassembled,

I have always been fascinated by how rooms are arranged in movies.

Everything has a place. Nothing feels excessive or accidental. Even “messy” rooms look intentionally aesthetic.

Every time I watch something like that, I think: I will keep my room like this.

Minimal. Ordered. Calm.

And every time… I fail.

Slowly, things pile up. Objects lose their place.

The room turns into functional chaos again. Not dirty, just cluttered and uncurated.

It makes me wonder:

Hey everyone, I’ve been playing with an idea: what if we treat a large language model as a calibrated instrument to measure conversations?

	•	LLM weights stay fixed during inference.

	•	Different conversations produce measurable “energy patterns” in the model’s responses.

	•	We can extract physical-like quantities: noise, inertia, signal density.

(Not just embedding-based information measures—this is about the dynamics of the conversation itself.)

Could this give an objective way to measure
