Episode 25 - Social Media and Mental Health with Dr. Chris Ferguson

dimanche 21 mai 2023 • Durée 59:38

Dylan and Manny chat with Dr. Chris Ferguson about the “social media hypothesis” of mental health. Dr. Ferguson is a clinical psychologist and professor at Stetson University. His research speciality is in media technology, and has co-written Moral Combat: Why the War on Violent Video Games Is Wrong. We talk about social comparison, suicide, moral panics, the “nocebo effect,” and more. The three of us push back against the popular view that social media use is causing poor mental health, but we remain very open to other viewpoints so feel free to disagree with us!

Dr. Ferguson’s column for Psychology Today, and his piece on the social media hypothesis.

Episode 24 - Reducing inequality by increasing belonging with Dr. Greg Walton

vendredi 5 mai 2023 • Durée 49:01

In this episode, we interview Stanford psychology professor, Dr. Greg Walton. We discuss:

The successful ways that Greg has used "wise interventions" to address social problems like educational inequalities.
The importance of social belonging and how feelings of belonging uncertainty can create a downward spiral.
Most importantly: Greg's new paper in Science! We focus on what the social belonging intervention is, why it worked, how the effects are influenced by the social context, how universities can learn from the intervention, and how many more students would graduate if the intervention was used at more institutions!

Episode 23 - An Introduction to Trans Healthcare with Dr. Quinnehtukqut McLamore

lundi 24 avril 2023 • Durée 51:34

In this episode of the podcast we take a crash course on transgender identity and terminology, statistics on transition and stigma (and associated mental health issues) within the trans community, transition in adults and kids, gender-affirming care, and the difficulties faced by trans individuals who engage with the medical system to get care. Dr. McLamore is bursting at the seams with knowledge on the topic, so there are more citations than usual. We had a much longer conversation than we could publish, but please read their writing in Aeon for more info.

Episode 19 - The Mistreatment of Dr. Steven Roberts at PoPS

dimanche 26 février 2023 • Durée 01:28:38

In this episode, we discuss the high profile case of Steven Robert's mistreatment at Perspective on Psychological Science (PoPS). We recorded an interesting and productive discussion with Steven, but he decided against publication of our conversation with him. We thought this topic was too important to not do an episode on, so we recorded our thoughts on the subject without Steven.

The episode includes: Steven's post-PoPS experiences (that he said we could share with the audience), our thoughts on the 2020 paper, our thoughts on his treatment at PoPS, and finally what we think about the academic critiques he received.
