Can a simple nudge spark a lifelong love of learning? This week on Doing Well: The Wellbeing Science Insights Podcast, host Lu Ngo is joined by behavioral researcher Ross E. O’Hara, Ph.D. to find out more.
A behavioral researcher at Persistence Plus, Ross E. O’Hara, Ph.D. applies his expertise in behavioral science to develop scalable interventions that improve college student retention. He travels around the United States speaking on how nudging can reshape the college student experience. His research has appeared in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including Psychological Science and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and he has co-authored a chapter on behavioral nudging in the book Decision Making for Student Success.
In this episode, Ross E. O’Hara, Ph.D. sheds light on what it means to nudge, especially in the context of developing a love for learning, not just in terms of academic performance, but also personal growth. To add, he addresses the age-old misconception that well-being involves being happy or feeling good all the time.
Together, Lu and Ross E. O’Hara, Ph.D. discuss the ways in which mindfulness can help any individual get through times of anxiety and hardship. So, tune in to this episode to learn how tiny changes in mindset and habits can lead to transformative outcomes!
