摘要

To cope with their twenty-first century responsibilities—regarding migration, inequality, social media, artificial intelligence and health system administration—behavioral scientists must get rid of distinct myths. They must overcome the illusion of normative proofs, the failure to recognize the auxiliary assumptions underlying all scientific evidence, and distinct limitations in metacognitive monitoring and control. Yet despite these dramatic challenges, behavioral-science interventions are indispensable.
