Work in the Human Nature Lab lies at the intersection of the social, biological, and computational sciences. We develop and apply novel insights about aspects of human nature that relate to our interactions with others. Our focus is not so much on how humans think or behave while alone, but rather on how they think and behave while in groups. We explore the classic problem of collective action, and we seek to understand how and why it is that, in the case of groups of people, the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts, for better or worse.
