This module tests the rational-choice picture against a psychologically realistic person. You will build a practical account of how behavior is learned, energized, redirected, and shaped by other people.

Use your own study or work habits as a living laboratory. Keep observations dated, separate observations from interpretations, and treat every intervention as a small experiment rather than a verdict about your character.
