このコンテンツについて
But what shapes our next move? According to research from the University of York, the way we frame a problem—the mental picture we construct—dramatically influences how we decide. Two people can face the same set of facts, yet make wildly different choices, simply because of how they perceive the risks, opportunities, and consequences. Sometimes, even the language used to set up the choice, known as the framing effect, changes the outcome without us realizing it. Nobel laureates Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky found that gains and losses are weighed differently in our minds—so how the options are presented can tip our decision one way or another.
Take, for instance, the story of Maya Moore, the WNBA star who paused her career at the height of her success to advocate for a man she believed was wrongfully imprisoned. The responsibility landed in her court, but so did the risks and the potential for real change. Her decision wasn’t easy, nor was it guaranteed to succeed, but she took ownership. Regardless of outcome, she controlled her next play.
Inaction, of course, is its own form of action. When the ball is in your court, doing nothing can mean giving up your chance, letting opportunity slip, or allowing someone else to set the terms. As we look at recent news—from local government officials navigating zoning reform, to communities addressing crises—outcomes hinge on those moments when decision-makers accept responsibility and move forward.
So, next time you hear the phrase, remember: the court is yours. The bounce is unpredictable, but the next move—and its ripple effects—are up to you.
