The Research: Matthew Fisher, Mariel K. Goddu, and Frank C. Keil published a paper in 2015 titled,  "Searching for Explanations: How the Internet Inflates Estimates of Internal Knowledge”.

Though these systems are typically thought to be composed of human minds, our reliance on technology, like the Internet, may form a system bearing many similarities to knowledge dependencies in the social world. The Internet is the largest repository of hum

My name is Gregg Clunis. The Research: Masayuki Suzuki, Stephanie Lictenfield, and Herbert W. Marsh published a study titled Don’t Aim Too High for Your Kids: Parental Overaspiration Undermines Students’ Learning in Mathematics back in 2015 where they looked at the effects of parental expectations on their children’s results. What They Found: This study aimed to test this idea of it being a positive thing to see whether or not negative effects could be seen. Here’s how they put it: “...in contrast to the large body of literature showing positive links between parental aspiration and children’s academic performance, there is a surprising lack of research that has examined p

What They Found: The researchers developed a model “in which a person’s behavior is determined by an interaction between deliberative processes that assess options with a broad, goal-based perspective, and affective processes that encompass emotions and other motivational states”. The results indicated that “there is a great deal of evidence that people’s decisions are influenced by both affective and deliberative processes.

In this episode, we look at how fear is used as a tool to influence your decisions and what you can do about it. Sponsor: http://neuyear.net/tinyleaps coupon: tinyleaps The Problem Human beings are weak both emotionally and physically As a species we started out at the bottom of the heap Through the continued development of our brain we were able to get stronger Now we rule the planet, but the fear is still there That fear can be harnessed to create environments where control is easier Digging Deeper The amygdala is the part of the brain that handles fear responses. It also handles the fight or flight response. Logical thinking and processing happens in higher levels of the brain It’s said that before we can think about something logically, we first have to process it emotionally. That processing determines if we are in danger or not, if the information is relevant or not...etc. So when something triggers a fear response, we often don’t ever get to the logical thinking piece of the equati

Get excited, because this is Tiny Leaps, Big Changes. Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes where I share research-backed strategies you can use, to get more out of your life. My name is Gregg Clunis. From Wikipedia: In criminology, social control theory proposes that exploiting the process of socialization and social learning builds self-control and reduces the inclination to indulge in behavior recognized as antisocial. It derives from functionalist theories of crime and was developed by Ivan Nye (1958), who proposed that there were three types of control: Direct: by which punishment is threatened or applied for wrongful behavior, and compliance is rewarded by parents, family, and authority figures. Indirect: by identification with those who influence behavior, say because his or her delinquent act might cause pain and disap

Get excited, because this is Tiny Leaps, Big Changes. Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes where I share research-backed strategies you can use, to get more out of your life. My name is Gregg Clunis and sleep is an incredibly important part of our lives. I'll be honest here, it's one that I often don't give enough attention to in my own life. Like many out there, I've fallen into the trap of constantly feeling like I need to be doing more. I need to get another podcast out, I need to be working on my app, I need to be building my business, I need to be watching this show and that movie and I need to play this video game and whatever else might be out there to take my attention away. But in recent years we've started to recognize the incredible value that comes with getting more sleep and I think most of us, at this point, understand h

Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, Big Changes where I share research-backed strategies you can use, to get more out of your life. My name is Gregg Clunis and once we’ve ingrained a behavior it can be honestly challenging to make any kind of changes to that behavior. This is often because the behavior becomes a habit and it becomes something that we do without ever really thinking about it and because we don't have that space to think about it there's no opportunity to intervene and to do something else. And this is a major issue when you look at trying to take control of your life. It's not easy to feel in control and to move in a particular direction if we feel as though we're just mindlessly going through our days. That's why in this episode, I want to talk about something called the behavior change wheel. Consistency Co
