psychology
OfficialDiagnose what drives behavior—and change it.
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
The psychology toolkit helps you figure out what is truly driving someone’s behavior and thinking, so you can respond with the right intervention instead of guessing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Bias diagnosis: Identify which cognitive distortions are actively shaping a decision, belief, or action (e.g., confirmation bias, anchoring, availability).
- Motivation mapping: Distinguish surface motivations from root needs using frameworks like Self-Determination Theory and identity-based drivers.
- Change design: Choose an appropriate approach for persuasion or behavior change by matching the underlying cause (e.g., heuristics to override, influence strategy, habit maintenance loop).
Use case example: You’re trying to understand why a teammate keeps missing deadlines; route the situation through bias, motivation, heuristics, and behavior-change to determine what need is being served and what lever will make the new behavior stick.
