Episode Thirteen: The Fool Doth Think He is Wise (with Richard Addante)

This March, Tolu and Kristina take a deeper dive into
psychological phenomena. To start the dive, they are joined by
Professor of Psychology at the Florida Institute of Technology,
Dr. Richard Addante. In this episode, Rick explains the
Dunning-Kruger Effect or DKE. He also briefly explains his role
in NASA's largest psychology for space travel. Have you ever
underestimated or overestimated your abilities to do something?
How do you find your personal balance between confidence and
humility? The term of the episode or TOTE is the Dunning-Kruger
Effect.
