Why Write the Book
In this video, I answer the question that every asks me about why I wrote a book on civility.
What Is Incivility?
In this video, I review the definition of incivility and examples of it.
Why Incivility is a Problem?
In this video, I outline how seemingly inconsequential rudeness and incivility can create much larger problems than people realize.
Civility: The In and Out Crowd
In this video, I explain how the social psychological principle of the “In” and “Out” Crowd can feed incivility.
Incivility and the Negativity Bias
In this video, I describe how the “negativity bias” in humans contributes to incivility.
Genetics and Incivility
In this video, I outline the link between people’s genetic background and how that might contribute to incivility toward others.
