The post explores concrete ways to apply this theory - for instance, building competence by focusing on teaching EA-relevant skills (such as forecasting or career planning) over sharing knowledge, or building autonomy by gearing arguments towards a person’s individual values. We can use this to improve community building and reduce cases where people ‘bounce off’ EA ideas or where engaged EAs burn out. This is in contrast to using persuasion, or appealing to guilt or fear. Self-determination theory suggests we can best build intrinsic motivation by supporting people’s needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The post summarizes each of the winning entries, as well as discussing what the judging panel liked about them and what changes they would have wanted to see.
The top prizes went to ‘A critical review of GiveWell's 2022 cost-effectiveness model’ and ‘Methods for improving uncertainty analysis in EA cost-effectiveness models’ by Alex Bates (Froolow), ‘Biological Anchors external review’ by Jennifer Lin and ‘Population Ethics without Axiology: A Framework’ by Lukas Gloor. Winners of the EA Criticism and Red Teaming Contestģ1 winners were announced out of 341 entries. Both bring the effect size closer to that of variance between countries / individuals than to zero. marking one more country as a ‘transition’ country or using 2020 data instead of 2019). The paradox largely disappears with only minor changes in methodology (eg. If we run the same analysis for health, pollution, or welfare measures, GDP has the largest effect.Ģ. The effect on happiness from increasing a country’s GDP over time is disregarded as small, but is big enough to be meaningful (similar size to effects seen from GiveDirectly’s cash transfers). The post author challenges the research behind that paper on two counts:ġ. A 2022 paper attempts to verify this with recent data, and finds it holds. The Easterlin Paradox states that happiness varies with income across countries and between individuals, but not significantly with a country’s income as it changes over time.
