In today?s society, people are expected to take responsibility for their own lives and be self-reliant. This is no easy feat. They must be on constant high alert in areas of life such as health, work and personal finances and, if things threaten to go awry, take appropriate action without further ado. What does this mean for public policy? Policymakers tend to assume that the government only needs to provide people with clear information and that, once properly informed, they will automatically do the right thing. However, it is becoming increasingly obvious that things do not work like that. Even though people know perfectly well what they ought to do, they often behave differently. Why is this? This book sets out to explain the reasons for the gap between ?knowing? and ?doing?. It focuses on the role of non-cognitive capacities, such as setting goals, taking action, persevering and coping with setbacks, and shows how these capacities are undermined by adverse circumstances. By taking the latest psychological insights fully into account, this book presents a more realist perspective on self-reliance, and shows government officials how to design rules and institutions that allow for the natural limitations in people?s ?capacity to act?. 410 0$aResearch for Policy, Studies by the Netherlands Council for Government Policy,$x2662-3684 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aBehavioral sciences 606 $aPersonality 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aSocial work 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aBehavioral Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L13009 606 $aPersonality and Social Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050 606 $aSocial Work$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X21000 610 $aPolitical science 610 $aPublic policy 610 $aBehavioral sciences 610 $aPersonality 610 $aSocial psychology 610 $aSocial work 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 0$aBehavioral sciences. 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aSocial work. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aBehavioral Sciences. 615 24$aPersonality and Social Psychology. 615 24$aSocial Work. 676 $a320.6 700 $aKeizer$b Anne-Greet$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0865965 702 $aTiemeijer$b Will$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBovens$b Mark$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910341850903321 996 $aWhy Knowing What To Do Is Not Enough$91932578 997 $aUNINA
