Research Project Proposal - Changing The Narrative
Our view of human nature is distorted to align with a dominant narrative; we are all intrinsically bad. The aim of this study is to investigate whether revising our views, by means of challenging this account, has the potential to foster prosocial behaviour, aspirations and values.
