What makes a “good dad?” How has the pandemic impacted fatherhood? And what pandemic-driven changes should we strive to keep moving forward?In this episode, our hosts, Dr. Amanda Zelechoski and Dr. Lindsay Malloy, are joined by Dr. Michael Lamb, emeritus professor at the University of Cambridge, renowned developmental psychologist, and one of the world's leading experts in fatherhood. They discuss the trust and reliability children need from their parents, what we can learn from other cultures about fatherhood, and why your child needs you to keep being your authentic self.In this episode about fatherhood and attachment:- What does “attachment” refer to in child psychology?- What do we now know about fathers in regards to attachment?- What makes a “good” dad? Are there universal qualities or characteristics?- What about LGBTQ+ families where perhaps neither partner identifies as male or both partners identify as male?- How has the pandemic changed the lives of fathers? Will any of these changes be long lasting?- What sorts of policy changes would help families specifically in terms of fathers and fatherhood coming out of the pandemic?About Our Guest ExpertMichael E Lamb is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Cambridge. He has long focused on the importance of child-parent relationships in diverse family and childcare contexts and on factors that enhance or diminish children's capacities as witnesses, especially of abuse. That work has helped shape the law and practice in relation to post-divorce relationships between children and parents; fostering, adoption, and parenting by LGBTQ+ adults; developmentally appropriate forensic interview techniques; and cross-examination of young victims and witnesses. His research has earned multiple awards, including from the American Psychological Association, Association for Psychological Science, and the Society for Research in Child Development, as well as honorary degrees from the Universities of Goteborg, East Anglia, Abertay, and Montreal. He currently edits the APA journal Psychology, Public Policy, and Law.

In this week's episode, Millie and Sophie discuss a study carried out by Abertay graduates Esther James and ShaunyJenkins. For the study, each participant judged sixteen face-pairs, indicating how much better a leader they felt their chosen face to be compared to the other face. It was found that both men and women evaluated women more negatively as a leader if the image suggested she was wearing a lot of makeup. What counts as 'too much' make-up? In a world where women are expected to be 'done up' at all times, can women win? Follow Millie and Sophie on socials @millie_cotton & @sophiemilner_fs.
