Inspiring Minds: The Intention-Action Gap for Teens

Understanding decision-making may sound like a complex concept, but Mind the Gap is here to make it accessible and engaging for teens. We focus on the psychological aspects of decision-making and how our thoughts and emotions influence our choices. Our mission is to equip teens with the tools to develop into responsible adults by exploring the fascinating world of decision-making.

Our Approach

Through curated articles, insightful blogs, and thought-provoking interviews, we delve into how psychological principles shape our choices. We aim to highlight:

• The Role of Emotions: Understanding how feelings can impact financial decisions.

• Cognitive Biases: Exploring common biases that affect judgment and decision-making.

• Social Influences: Examining how peer pressure and societal norms shape our choices.

• Long-Term vs. Short-Term Thinking: Analyzing the psychological struggle between immediate gratification and future benefits.

Empowering Teens

By engaging with these topics, we empower teens to recognize their own decision-making processes and develop critical thinking skills. Our content encourages self-reflection and informed choices, fostering a deeper understanding of the psychological factors that drive our decisions.

Mind the Gap focuses on the concept of the "intention-action gap" in psychology and behavioral economics, helping teens understand the gap between what they want to do and what they actually do.

Mind the Gap speaks directly to teens, breaking down complex psychological concepts into relatable, real-world examples. We focus on topics like decision-making biases, choice architecture, and the psychology of incentives — giving young people practical tools to make better choices in school, money, friendships, and beyond.

The idea for Mind the Gap was born from a passion to bridge the divide between academic theory and everyday behavior. Our founders recognized that early exposure to behavioral thinking could equip teens with life skills that are often overlooked in traditional education.

Through engaging content, real-life scenarios, and interactive discussions, we challenge teens to think critically about how they make decisions — and why good intentions sometimes fall short. Mind the Gap empowers a new generation to understand their own behavior, spot hidden influences, and ultimately close the gap between goals and actions.

If you're a teen ready to understand yourself better — and make smarter decisions along the way — Mind the Gap is your starting point.
