- Description
-
The Human Nature/Human Potential Program at the University of Chicago's Center for Decision Research brings together scholars in cognitive science, social psychology, economics, mathematics, and law. This interdisciplinary program supports research to identify basic features of human nature (such as altruism, aspiration, joy, humility, optimism, purpose, spirituality, successful aging, thrift, and wisdom) that suggest new avenues for human potential, to establish empirical grounds for positive behavioral outcomes, and to develop real-world applications based on this knowledge to improve human life.
