Why do we make decisions that sometimes go against the interests of ourselves and others? Following the COVID-19 outbreak, what drove many people to buy hand sanitiser and toilet rolls in bulk? In this episode, Dr. Eugene Tee is joined by cognitive psychologists Dr. Wong Hoo Keat and Lai Ho Yan to discuss the psychology behind panic buying and hoarding. They also share some practical tips that help reduce these behaviours and our anxieties during a crisis.
