"The only way to confront [the world's most important problems] is to make decisions based on evidence. Producing evidence through research and analysis is what RAND does… It's one of the reasons I'm optimistic about the future." bit.ly/3HBt5OD

On climate action: "People might be confused, but that's because some industries are engaged in disinformation to protect their profits and agendas.
But we know what the challenge is, we know what needs to be done..."

It’s the Thoughts That Count: How #Psychological Distance and Affect Heuristic Influence Support for Aid Response Measures During the #COVID-19 Pandemic

Sharing our latest work (@janetyz12 @zhuling_liu) on the effects of psychological distance on public #risk perception and #emotions during the #COVID19pandemic in its early stage. #HealthCommunication

Drawing social distance closer between oneself and others may motivate people to help others. As social distance decreases, people report stronger negative emotions & sympathy, as well as higher risk perception. Thus, support for #COVID19 aid response measures also increases. – at Pittsburgh, PA
Our research suggests that overall, strategic messaging surrounding the #COVID19pandemic should concentrate on promoting cohesiveness by drawing separate individuals closer, such as highlighting more inter-group similarities. – at Pittsburgh, PA
