[Social] Guest Speaker: Igor Grossmann
by Amanda Ravary 22 Jan '18

Tupperwarians: This week we have opened up Tupperware to the rest of the department as we welcome special guest speaker, Dr. Igor Grossmann. See you there. Friday 2pm Room 1552. Title: Wisdom as a meta-cognitive framework for sound judgment: Measurement, ecology and the self Abstract: Wisdom was a central topic in ancient philosophy, glorified in various cultures in the past. In the last 20 years psychologists became interested in this topic, discussing what wisdom is, how it relates to well-being and how it varies across the lifespan and different personality profiles. Building on this research, I propose a meta-cognitive framework of wisdom for sound judgment. Meta-cognitive principles of sound judgment include epistemic virtues of intellectual humility, recognition of world in flux and change, and consideration & integration of different perspectives. There principles represent evolutionary adaptations, which are beneficial for individual coordination within a group. Based on experimental and diary evidence, I further propose that the propensity of applying these principles in daily life depends on the features of general ecology and specific situational demands. To support this framework, I review data from evolutionary biology, experimental philosophy, as well as cross-cultural and social-personality psychology. I will highlight evidence-based factors contributing to malleability in wisdom-related epistemic virtues in the context of interpersonal conflicts and societal polarization, paying particular attention to the role of the self and resource-driven ecological adaptations. Together, these streams of research begin to illuminate the processes underlying wise reasoning, highlighting its malleability due to cultural and individual factors.

Here are some ideas of topics you can bring to discuss at Tupperware this week: * Elevator Pitch: Give us your 2 minute elevator pitch about your current research. * Journal Findings: Tell us about a cool paper you read about in the past month. * Job Search: Let us know about something you learned from the social or quant job talks. * Current Experience: Reflect to the group about your current situation (e.g., post-doc vs. grad school; business vs. psych school; finishing vs. starting grad school).
