Wilson is a retired teacher of psychology at Virginia. He studies self-knowledge, social thought, future feelings, and small steps for change. One question ties this work together. How well do people know what shapes their own choices? [1]
He wrote Telling More Than We Can Know with Richard Nisbett. [2]
Wilson also wrote Strangers to Ourselves about the hidden mind. He wrote Redirect about how people change. He has also tested how people guess what they will feel later. [1]
Trust him on self-report, thought, and change. These are direct issues in talks, feedback, and judgment at work. Yet his main field studies people, not firms. Use his work to question easy tales about a motive. Do not assume you know another person’s hidden cause. [1] [2]
