The psychology behind the news.

About

Dayvoro looks at the news through psychology.

A headline tells you what happened. I’m more interested in why people react the way they do. Why does a round number like $1 trillion feel like a milestone? Why does almost everyone want to stop changing the clocks, yet no one can agree on which time to keep? Why can the way someone apologizes matter more than the mistake?

Each article starts from a real story and asks what psychology is at work behind it. I compare it with earlier cases that played out under different conditions, so the conclusion still holds after the news cycle moves on.

What you’ll find here

  • Trends: current stories read as case studies in human behavior, from shopping and tech to culture and public debates.
  • Psychology: plain-language explainers of ideas like anchoring and the sunk cost fallacy, with everyday examples.

How I work

Dayvoro is an independently run, AI-assisted publication. AI helps me organize research and draft. Every article is reviewed before it goes live, and the opinions are my own. I link to the sources behind factual claims and research, and I correct mistakes when I find them.

When a topic divides people, I don’t pick a side. I look at what each side values, and why the same facts can look so different to them.

Articles here are opinion and analysis, not medical, financial or legal advice.
