Today at the #BehavioralScience Workshop, Mark Thornton (Dartmouth College) explored how and why we change our minds about other people. Using naturalistic data, brain imaging, and computational modeling, his research reveals what shapes our shifting impressions—from the behavior of others to our own moods and mindsets.

Today marks one year since the passing of Robin Hogarth, a pioneering scholar in decision research and a longtime member of the Chicago Booth faculty. With his late Booth colleague and friend Hillel Einhorn, Hogarth helped found what is now the Roman Family Center for Decision Research—one of the world’s leading institutions dedicated to the science of human decision-making. He served as the Center’s director from 1983 to 1993, leaving a lasting impact on the field. This week, American Psychologist published an obituary by his friend and colleague Josh Klayman, honoring Hogarth's remarkable legacy. 📖 Read the tribute here via American Psychological Association : https://lnkd.in/eqVTJidN Also, take a moment to remember Robin with this piece from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business: https://lnkd.in/eqYNJ3Qz
