561. How to Succeed at Failing, Part 1: The Chain of Events
Freakonomics Radio
The Unfair License to Fail
Women are often more risk averse than men, even in the classroom. They set a higher threshold for themselves and hesitate to raise their hand with a mediocre comment. Men, on the other hand, are less inhibited. This difference in risk aversion is likely influenced by the desire to be seen positively by others. Despite the classroom serving as a laboratory for making mistakes and taking risks, women still act more cautiously. After the break, we discuss a more serious classroom failure involving a gun in a student's backpack. Stay tuned for Freakonomics Radio, sponsored by the Real Good Podcast.
