The Value of Trust | Professor Dan Ariely | TEDxEast

What is the value of trust in relationships and interactions? Dan Ariely will shed some light on the ways we think about and behave in situations with varying degress of trust among people.
Despite our intentions, why do we so often fail to act in our own best interest? Why do we promise to skip the chocolate cake, only to find ourselves drooling our way into temptation when the dessert tray rolls around? Why do we overvalue things that we’ve worked to put together? What are the forces that influence our behavior? Dan Ariely, James B. Duke Professor of Psychology & Behavioral Economics at Duke University, is dedicated to answering these questions and others in order to help people live more sensible - if not rational - lives. His interests span a wide range of behaviors, and his sometimes unusual experiments are consistently interesting, amusing and informative, demonstrating profound ideas that fly in the face of common wisdom.

[@solangevinces]

Thinking in terms of Win-win situation is the best possible outcome for all. The more I've interacted with people, the more this becomes evident to me. If I exploit people, I may get short term benefits, but they would move away in the long term. Same is true if others exploit me. However if each person acts in a way that is mutually beneficial for the other person, then a long lasting relationship can be formed. Once this balance is shifted, the relationship gets dissolved. I've left companies where this balance was shifted due to certain business decisions. I initially tried to find alternate benefits/growth opportunities, but when things didn't work out I left. Same applies to relationships. I agree to your points Dan. 1) Long term relationships 2) Reputation 3) Revenge (Fear of revenge) It feels like a balance between Feeling good about our self vs Risk of getting caught Abstraction of money, group activity, Reminders of morality -> Keeps the former in check

[@codacreator6162]

Most businesses in America are on a technological pathway to enforce trustworthiness through constant and acute monitoring. They don't recognize that the power of decision (in this case of player 2 sending half the money back) is integral not only to player 2's trustworthiness, but to his/her sense of participation in and acceptance to the social network that is the result of the transaction -- the greater good. Without that power, that ability to decide their own trustworthiness and to earn by action their place in society, the transaction becomes meaningless. Far from encouraging a more dedicated and motivated participation, forced trustworthiness eliminates their desire to participate and encourages opportunism and corruption. Player 2, no longer genuinely trusted to do right for the greater good, now feels he/she has no value in contributing to the greater good and shifts to doing what is best for player 2. And the corporation, rather than recognizing and acknowleding its role in this shift in perspective, doubles down on monitoring, further exacerbating the problem until the culture is so toxic, nobody who works for the corporation cares about its future. It's a complex issue, for sure. But I believe we are headed in the wrong direction and the first step to regaining our collective greater good first perspective is to remove the shackles and allow player 2 back into the decision making process -- which for the majority is nothing more than trusting them to do their jobs and that they will each ultimately work at their optimal capacity because they are motivated by trust rather than fear (which over time destroys the ability and capacity by its toxic and corrosive nature).

Revenge is altruism in disguise . I have undisguised admiration for Dan Dharmendra Rai , Mind Map Trainer

[@JustmeSEVEN]

eye opener 👍🏻

[@KiiroSagi]

I disagree with revenge being altruistic. What really happens is punishment (showing there will be consequence)/ justice act as a deterrent for future wrongdoing rather than revenge which semantically gravitates towards satisfying emotional satisfaction rather than rational punishment. I can seek unjustified revenge or revenge disproportional to the offence committed for instance and that is not altruistic. So revenge is not altruistic rather it can have an altruistic effect or rather revenge is the wrong choice of word.

[@coreycox2345]

I thought the same thing, Kiiro Sagi. Typically I think of altruism as giving something up to benefit the other person. When I have contemplated revenge this was the last thing on my mind.

[@momoiroZoey]

@@coreycox2345 he was clearly being loose with the term "altruistic". If you think about it as putting someone else before you, even at your own detriment, it fits. Sometimes people will seek revenge even at their own expense.

[@Actidad]

Dads know trust is invaluable! 😁🙌

Great

[@sagarshrestha5800]

Some people have up the game where they show little co- operation and take benefit of other.

[@chriskerley1508]

Sometimes Dan is very very very funny.

[@fperezro]

Actually, living without trust is more expensive. More policemen on the streets, more bureaucracy at organizations, more people to sell you a pen. I live in Argentina where the lack of trust is a result of a lack o security (to keep it simple)

[@rc....]

That's not just old school, it's old testament

[@S2Tubes]

Tracking down the guy that took your banana is a lot more difficult than just taking bananas from someone else.

[@nefelikarousatou5919]

👏👏

[@justvixie6166]

Reminded me of Japanese TV Serial Liar Game 😂

[@nosoyhaternosoyhater1396]

I will not rest until i get revenge

[@stonerhistory8742]

Im pretty sure i feel the same

[@alinesanchezramirezbaruchi2658]

Fiz uma conta de segurança por isso Eu preciso mover pessoas

[@boudidouboudi3891]

I avoided people who betrayed my trust. I has not been a deterrent at all. Not really good at plotting for revenge it seems.

[@marcygalvan3224]

I don't trust our government with good reason. That's why they like putting their nose up .

[@sthomas7211]

How is the money multiplied 5x

[@gse547]

That's not the point.

[@mikemarthaller8789]

Revenge , short term gain for a long term PAIN

[@FlowLai]

The raven-haired devil strikes again

[@knowgodknowfreedomknowlibe9428]

Revenge is altruistic? You're kidding, right? It may be a deterrent, but it is also unhealthy and leads to a downward spiral, increased distrust and mutual destruction.

[@TechSavvii]

Fear is integral to evolution and fear of revenge, at least in my eyes, helps our society evolve. I once got into a motorbike accident and the other guy got his shoulder dislocated. I feared that his friends would break my bones, nothing happened but since then I have always driven motorcycle with caution.

He’s a fraud who was exposed by his own colleagues for making all this up. Can you imagine faking your data about trust and accepting applause? He’s sick and tried to blame others after he got caught. This video should be taken down.

[@robertschiller5422]

noticed how glad I am to not be in university anymore. too theoretical content and hardly usable for a business workplace

[@rowanbrown5541]

First comment I guess

[@VladTokarev]

Silence is gold when you have nothing to say

[@rowanbrown5541]

Vlad Tokarev Can't tell if you were saying my comment is meaningless (which it is) or if you're just saying that no one has anything to say,

[@zes3813]

This man has zero credibility.

[@lhkpeggy1]

[@jeremywvarietyofviewpoints3104]

He had an accident and has face problems.
