  • Do men really have a better sense of direction than women?

    Do men really have a better sense of direction than women?
    Jan 20 2025
    Some theories in evolutionary psychology propose that men are better at spatial navigation than women due to evolutionary factors. In prehistoric times, men, as hunters, traversed long distances, while women stayed closer to the home. This difference supposedly led to natural selection favouring genes in men associated with better spatial navigation skills. However, these theories have been widely challenged, in particular by British philosopher Cordelia Fine. Back in 2010 she published a book entitled Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference. Why has the misconception around spatial navigation persisted? Does education have anything to do with it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is benevolent sexism?

  • What is Blue Monday?

    What is Blue Monday?
    Jan 20 2025
    Sorry to end the week with bad news but tomorrow, January 16th, is Blue Monday, often cited as the most depressing day of the year. Blue Monday has existed since 2005, and is based on an equation which takes into account various factors. However, its detractors criticise the idea as pseudoscience and say it is driven by money. Since the first Blue Monday equation was devised by psychologist Cliff Arnall, there have been a few different variants, but there are common elements to each. Of course you’ve got the winter weather, which explains why Blue Monday isn’t a phenomenon in the southern Hemisphere, where January is a summer month. Blue Monday is also not well known in the United States, as it usually clashes with Martin Luther King Day. Why does Blue Monday occur in January? Black Friday, Super Saturday, Blue Monday - why do I get the feeling this is just another marketing thing? Is there any scientific evidence backing Blue Monday ?

  • What is the Barnum effect?

    What is the Barnum effect?
    Jan 20 2025
    Have you ever felt like your horoscope was written just for you? Or a fortune’s cookie advice seemed incredibly relevant? You may be surprised, but it’s actually not such a coincidence after all. This psychological phenomenon is known as the Barnum effect. It’s a cognitive bias that occurs when people believe that generic personality descriptions and statements apply specifically to them. It may explain how practices such as astrology, fortune telling and personality tests have become relatively accepted despite lacking any basis in fact. Of course, people offering such services may not be aware of the Barnum effect label, but many understand how it works and seek to exploit it for their gain. Where does the name come from? So the professor was slacking rather than the students on that occasion! In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is astropsychology?
