Tim Harford: 本期节目以1977年比佛利山庄晚宴俱乐部火灾为例,探讨了人们在面对警告时反应迟缓的原因。该事件中,尽管火灾已经发生,但歌舞厅内的人们并没有及时疏散,导致了严重的人员伤亡。作者将此事件与托里峡谷号油轮事故进行类比,指出人们在面对风险时,往往会因为计划延续偏差而坚持原计划,而不是及时调整。此外,作者还反思了自己在面对新冠疫情时的迟疑和行动迟缓,并认为这与人们在面对模糊威胁时容易忽视风险的倾向有关。 Walter Bailey: 18岁的服务员Walter Bailey在发现火灾后,尽力警告歌舞厅内的人们疏散,但他受到了忽视。他的行为体现了在紧急情况下,个人的勇敢和果断行动的重要性。 Captain Pastrengo Ruggiati: 托里峡谷号油轮船长鲁吉亚蒂在面对越来越多的危险信号时,仍然坚持原计划,最终导致了事故的发生。他的行为体现了计划延续偏差和缺乏风险评估能力的危害。 Dr Natalie McDermott: 伦敦国王学院的娜塔莉·麦克德莫特博士在2020年2月13日就新冠病毒的潜在威胁向作者发出了警告,但作者当时并没有充分重视。 Amanda Ripley: Amanda Ripley的著作《The Unthinkable》对比佛利山庄晚宴俱乐部火灾进行了详细的描述,为本期节目的研究提供了重要的参考。 Amy Edmondson: 哈佛商学院的艾米·埃德蒙森教授提出了“模糊威胁”的概念,解释了人们在面对不确定性时容易忽视风险的原因。 Bibb Latane & John Darley: 拉坦和达利的心理学实验表明,群体中的人们更容易因为彼此的被动而忽视危险信号,这与比佛利山庄晚宴俱乐部火灾中人们的反应迟缓现象相符。

Shownotes Transcript

Flames are spreading through a Cincinnati hotel. The staff know it, the fire department is coming, and the people in the packed cabaret bar have been told to evacuate… and yet they hesitate to leave. Why don’t we react to some warnings until it’s too late?
