Richard Wiseman

Richard Wiseman is the psychologist referenced in 172.好运是什么？为啥说总避雷会败好运？ through the episode’s discussion of luck research and the newspaper photo-counting experiment. The source uses his work to distinguish luck as an attention and behavior pattern from luck as pure fate.

The episode’s version of Wiseman is practical: self-described lucky people are presented as more likely to notice unexpected information, while self-described unlucky people may narrow attention so much that they miss obvious prompts. The wiki should keep that claim source-scoped because the episode uses the research as a life-design frame, not as a full psychology review.
