- Description
- <p>Why does one bad experience have the power to overshadow an otherwise good day? Psychologist <a href="https://psychology.ucdavis.edu/people/alison-ledgerwood" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alison Ledgerwood</a> explores the negativity bias, the deeply human tendency to hold on to what went wrong and overlook what went right. She explains why our minds are drawn to losses and threats, and what it takes to rebalance our attention. Then, on Your Questions Answered, psychologist <a href="https://psychology.cornell.edu/david-pizarro" rel="noopener noreferrer">David Pizarro</a> returns to respond to your comments about the surprising role of disgust in shaping our lives. </p> <p><i>In our companion conversation for Hidden Brain+, we explore how politicians and the media exploit the negativity bias.
