Theme: Gender Discrimination through the Experimental Paradigm in Sociology
Does the behavioral research by the latest Nobelist economist Richard Thaler fascinate you? For economists, behavioral economics presents a set of new discoveries that human beings behave irrationally. Such discoveries challenge the foundation of economics that humans are self-interested, utility-maximizing homo economicus. This insight might have been a big deal for the economists but it is no news for the sociologists, especially social psychologists.
【本次话题】数据说：“性别歧视”的陷阱
2017年诺贝尔经济学奖颁给理查德·塞勒，这意味着行为经济学的又一次胜利，它打破了经济学中人类的思考和行为都应当是目标理性的的假设，并否定了经济好处就是物质性补偿的最大化。同样的，对于社会学家而言，人类种种有趣的“不理性行为”也已经不再是一个新鲜话题了。在本期All About People中，我们将从社会学的角度，研究人类谈及性别时的思维“漏洞”。什么是“公正”？到底应当如何思考“性别歧视”？我们日常中提到的“性别歧视”会不会只是我们下意识的认知，其实经不起推敲？
Allen Li教授将详细解读他亲自指导过的社会学研究案例，也许你会从中找到答案。
