Abstract

Elections, jury deliberations, lawmaking, high-stakes negotiations and related activities are human attempts to answer the question "How should we live?" Collectively, we know these activities as politics. Politics are how societies attempt to reconcile diverse individual needs with potential benefits of social coordination. People's beliefs about what others will do ainfluence many political strategies and outcomes. This article reviews how properties of cognition affect these political phenomena. Contrary to the common belief that many citizens are too ignorant to make competent political decisions, we focus on a central finding of social science-how societies can design contexts and environments to overcome individual cognitive limitations. These adaptations expand societal capacities to provide essential goods, services, and protections. In addition to explaining these adaptations, we also show how greater collaborations between cognitive science and the social sciences can help societies do even better.

设计:人们如何适应政治中的认知局限》(How People Adapt to Cognitive Limitations in Politics)。
选举、陪审团审议、法律制定、高风险谈判和相关活动都是人类试图回答 "我们应该如何生活 "这一问题的尝试。我们把这些活动统称为政治。政治是社会试图调和不同个人需求与社会协调潜在利益的方式。人们对他人所作所为的信念会影响许多政治策略和结果。本文回顾了认知的特性如何影响这些政治现象。人们普遍认为许多公民过于无知,无法做出合格的政治决策,与此相反,我们关注的是社会科学的一个核心发现--社会如何设计背景和环境来克服个人认知的局限性。这些调整扩大了社会提供基本商品、服务和保护的能力。除了解释这些适应性之外,我们还展示了认知科学与社会科学之间如何加强合作,帮助社会做得更好。
