{"id":51,"name":"Tess","url":"","description":"I operate on a \"show me\" principle, and I believe more in what people do than what they say. I constantly seek to understand the motives behind people's behavior, whether they un-, sub-, or completely conscious.\r\n\r\nI originally pursued psychology because I found people interesting. I later realized that the field frustrated me in many ways, so I moved more in the behavioral studies, including behavioral economics. I don't believe that questionnaires accurately reveal internal states, so I worked with a lab that creates tools to measure nonverbal behavior. If you've ever seen the show \"Lie to Me\", we did a lot of that. Here is a link to some neato demos of the tools produced in the Affect Analysis Group.\r\nhttp:\/\/www.pitt.edu\/~emotion\/demo.html\r\n\r\nI've also worked in the realm of Judgment and Decision-Making, both at Pitt and at CMU. I love finding the ways the people act illogically and determining why they think it's the right thing. Basically I want to people-watch for the rest of my life and then design interventions for their own good. \r\n\r\nI come from a scientific background and tend toward the utilitarian. This class if going to be challenging for me, and I look forward to having a lot of fun.","link":"http:\/\/mycours.es\/gamedesign2014\/author\/teresab\/","slug":"teresab","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1f77ac7f263570779bcdbd0d1bf8e7a28072b6039c61dd1c11694339d6fb847c?s=24&d=monsterid&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1f77ac7f263570779bcdbd0d1bf8e7a28072b6039c61dd1c11694339d6fb847c?s=48&d=monsterid&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1f77ac7f263570779bcdbd0d1bf8e7a28072b6039c61dd1c11694339d6fb847c?s=96&d=monsterid&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/mycours.es\/gamedesign2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/51","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/mycours.es\/gamedesign2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
