SMU Behavioural Sciences Institute director Professor David Chan spoke at the Behavioural Sciences Institute Conference organised by SMU on February 27. The conference discussed how positive attitudes and experiences can be promoted in Singapore. Prof Chan said: “Sometimes, we tend to have a high negativity bias, we tend to focus on negative things, much more than positive things. So the challenge is for the community, Government, we ourselves to be able to look at the positive as well.” Minister of State, Ministry of National Development & Ministry of Defence, Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman also spoke at the event.
