She is particularly interested in studying how individuals adapt to the amount of resources available in their environment, and how our social cognition influences pro-environmental behavior.</p> <p> </p> <p>In this episode, we focus on how resources impact psychology, and climate change. We start by talking about noncognitive skills and their impact on academic achievement. We then get into how quantitative changes in resources lead to qualitative changes in people’s priorities and psychology. We discuss the importance of time horizons, and talk about pyramids of needs. We discuss how resource allocation affects cooperation and health-related behavior. We discuss risky behaviors through different time horizons, and approaches to prevent hazardous behaviors. We talk about where stereotypes about the behavior of people of low socioeconomic status come from. We discuss how people formed perceived morbidity and mortality
