We get a lot wrong about the world - from others’ beliefs on gender norms, to the willingness of friends to discuss mental health, to the likelihood of contracting diseases. Today on @voxdev.bsky.social, I've summarised the evidence on common misperceptions: voxdev.org/topic/common...
Common misperceptions: What people get wrong about the world and why it matters
What do people get wrong, i.e. misperceive, about the world? Why do misperceptions matter for economic development? How can fixing misperceptions benefit society?
