萨默塞特Big Brue音乐节计划采用科学方法,检验参加者在听取对立观点讨论后观点是否真正改变1。神经科学家Beau Lotto为此设计了前后测试,包括问卷调查和寻找线条中点等任务,以衡量参与者在参加音乐节前后是否变得更加开放、乐观、同情和宽容1。
音乐节定于9月19-20日在Hauser & Wirth Somerset画廊举行,汇集了持相反意见的演讲者,主题为"友好的意见不一致"1。由记者Mariella Frostrup和人权律师Jason McCue创办的这一活动,要求参与者在音乐节前后都参加测试1。Beau Lotto曾在太阳马戏团的演出中进行过类似实验,发现观看演出后人们更愿意帮助他人1。
An upcoming ideas festival in Somerset will employ rigorous testing to determine whether exposure to opposing viewpoints actually shifts participants' perspectives. The Big Brue festival, scheduled for September 19-20 at Hauser & Wirth Somerset gallery in Bruton, will assess attendees before and after the event using questionnaires and cognitive tasks to gauge changes in openness, optimism, empathy, and tolerance 1.
The initiative was designed by neuroscientist Beau Lotto, who has previously conducted similar experiments, including one at a Cirque du Soleil performance where he found audiences were more willing to help others after viewing the show 1. The festival, founded by journalist Mariella Frostrup and human rights lawyer Jason McCue, centers on the theme of "agreeable disagreement" and will bring together speakers holding opposing positions 1. Participants will complete tests including locating the midpoint of lines as part of the experimental methodology to establish whether the festival's discussions produce measurable shifts in attendees' worldviews 1.
