Podcast appearances and mentions of Elliot Aronson

We are in this world to grow and evolve—but real growth only happens when we're willing to confront where we're wrong. The problem? Our ego is always working against us, convincing us that we're right, keeping us stuck in old patterns, and stealing the energy we need to fulfill our purpose. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we explore the many ways ego shows up in our lives: how it fuels anxiety, distorts our perceptions, and blocks our true potential.

In this special episode, Scott is joined by two legendary figures in social psychology: Dr. Elliot Aronson and his son, Dr. Joshua Aronson. At 93, Elliot Aronson remains a towering influence in psychology, known for pioneering the Jigsaw Classroom—a groundbreaking cooperative learning technique that reduces interethnic hostility and enhances learning. He is the only person in American Psychological Association history to receive all three of its major awards for research, teaching, and writing, including the prestigious William James Award for Lifetime Achievement. His son, Dr. Joshua Aronson, is a distinguished social psychologist and Associate Professor of Applied Psychology at NYU. His pioneering research on stereotype threat has reshaped our understanding of learning and performance under stress. As the director of the Mindful Education Lab, he leads efforts to improve psychological resilience and learning environments. Together, Elliot and Joshua co-authored The Social Animal, a seminal textbook in psychology. In this conversation, Scott, Elliot and Joshua explore this groundbreaking work, their personal journeys, and the lasting impact of their research on education, social behavior, and human psychology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode features a conversation with Kris De Meyer, Director of the UCL Climate Action Unit. It was recorded in July 2024.Kris is a neuroscientist, a science communicator and a science-policy co-production expert, bringing insights from neuroscience and psychology to the domain of climate change. He specialises in how people become entrenched in their beliefs, how this leads to polarisation in society, and how to overcome these conditions. The Climate Action Unit works to change how scientists, policymakers, businesses, media, civil society organisations and citizens engage with each other about climate change. And Kris is responsible for the neuroscientific basis of the interventions that the unit designs and delivers. Kris is also a Senior Research Fellow in UCL's Department of Earth Sciences, has co-produced an award-winning documentary, called Right Between Your Ears, exploring how people views become ingrained, and co-created The Justice Syndicate, a participatory play about how we disagree. Amongst other things, Kris and I discussed fear and agency, where the conventional wisdom gets things wrong, and why stories about actions taken in response to climate change offer the total package when it comes to stimulating meaningful responses from our audiences.Additional links: Visit the Climate Action Unit websiteWatch Kris' brilliant TEDx TalkTransforming the stories we tell about climate change: from issue to actionCheck out Elliot Aronson's article Fear, Denial, and Sensible Action in the Face of DisastersExplore the UN Climate Chief's speech “2 years to save the world”Read Mike Hulme's article on “Deadline-ism”

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Nafisa Lohawala, a fellow at Resources for the Future, about sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). Lohawala discusses the climate impact of the aviation industry, different types of SAFs, and the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that SAFs can help achieve. Lohawala also discusses policies that support the adoption of SAFs, including international agreements and financial incentives in the United States.

Carol Tavris - Mistakes Were Made But Not By Me   The Psychology of Self-Justification with Carol Tavris   In this episode, Aidan McCullen interviews Carol Tavris, co-author of 'Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me),' to explore the intricacies of cognitive dissonance, self-justification, and memory. They investigate why humans find it difficult to admit mistakes, even in the presence of irrefutable evidence. Through numerous case studies and real-world examples, they discuss the implications of these psychological mechanisms in areas as varied as personal life, law enforcement, and political decision-making. The conversation tackles how these insights can apply to everyone from parents and judges to business leaders and law enforcement, emphasizing the significance of humility, critical thinking, and the human tendency to rewrite personal histories to fit current beliefs. 00:00 Introduction to Self-Justification 01:14 Welcoming the Author: Carol Tavris 02:17 The Premise of the Book 03:06 Understanding Cognitive Dissonance 08:44 Memory and Self-Justification 14:43 Confabulations and False Memories 23:02 The Pyramid of Choice 32:42 Law Enforcement and Wrongful Convictions 37:58 The Importance of Correcting Interrogation Methods 38:33 The Impact of Miscarriages of Justice 38:55 Examples of Recognizing Mistakes 39:52 The 1980s and 90s Hysteria Over Child Abuse 40:21 The McMartin Daycare Scandal 41:06 Flawed Child Interrogation Techniques 42:58 A Case of Misunderstanding: Daddy's Pee Pee 44:53 The Emotional Toll of False Convictions 47:39 The Pyramid of Entrapment and Justification 48:48 The Influence of Bias in Decision Making 50:32 The Role of Pharmaceutical Companies in Medicine 52:06 Moral Choices and Life Decisions 54:55 Understanding and Living with Cognitive Dissonance 01:03:17 The Power of Admitting Mistakes 01:06:58 The Allure of Victim Narratives 01:08:40 Alien Abductions and Hypnagogic States 01:14:17 The Importance of Understanding Human Frailties   Find Carol here:    That Sarah Silverman interview:    Carol's books:    psychology, cognitive dissonance, self-justification, memory, mistakes, humility, ethics, law enforcement, interrogation, wrongful convictions, trauma, alien abductions, confirmation bias, leadership, decision making, self-concept, Carol Tavris (author), Aidan McCullen (host), Elliot Aronson (co-author), Leon Festinger (researcher on cognitive dissonance), James Thurber (author of The Wonderful O), Richard Feynman (scientist and quote source), Mary Carr (memoirist), Joseph Allen (wrongfully convicted), Ronald Reagan (Bitburg cemetery incident), Shimon Peres (comment on Reagan's mistake), Sarah Silverman (Louis C.K. controversy), Louis C.K.

Welcome to the 200th episode of the flagship podcast series PsychSessions: Conversations About Teaching N' Stuff.  In this episode, Garth and special guest host Chris Cardone interview Elliot Aronson from the University of Santa Cruz in Santa Cruz, CA. The trio explores Aronson's significant contributions, including the Festinger and Carlsmith experiment and the cognitive dissonance theory. Aronson elaborates on his work like the jigsaw classroom approach to reduce prejudice and applied social psychology experiments targeting health behaviors. Reflecting on changes within academia, Aronson voices concerns over the decline in quality, contrasting it with the 'golden age' of social psychology. He suggests that research opportunities were more favorable in his era and encourages the audience to read his works for deeper insights.

The book explores the concept of cognitive dissonance and its role in human behavior. It delves into why people often refuse to admit their mistakes and instead engage in rationalizations and attribution of blame to others. Using various examples from different domains like politics, law, and personal relationships, the authors analyze the psychological mechanisms behind these behaviors and provide insights into how individuals can overcome self-justification. The book seeks to explain why people often maintain their erroneous beliefs and actions rather than correcting themselves, and the impact it has on personal growth and relationships.Chapter 2 Is Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) Book A Good BookIt is difficult to determine if a book is "good" as it is subjective and depends on individual preferences. "Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)" by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson is highly regarded in the field of psychology and has received positive reviews from readers. The book explores the concept of cognitive dissonance and explores how people often justify their wrongdoings or mistakes.

It explores the concept of cognitive dissonance and its impact on human behavior. The book highlights how people often struggle to admit their mistakes and take responsibility for them, instead resorting to self-justification and blaming others. Tavris and Aronson argue that cognitive dissonance, the psychological discomfort that arises when our actions contradict our beliefs or values, plays a crucial role in this process.The authors provide various case studies and examples from different fields to illustrate the harmful consequences of this self-justification mechanism. They discuss instances where individuals, organizations, and even entire nations have made catastrophic errors and failed to recognize or rectify them.The book delves into topics such as false memories, confirmation bias, and the criminal justice system to shed light on how cognitive dissonance affects our perceptions and decision-making.

Lo diciamo sempre. Eppure se lo diciamo tutti, qualcuno dovrà pur esserlo. E se lo fossimo noi? Plot Twist.

Elliot Aronson is one of the preeminent psychologists of the 20th century — his mentors were Abraham Maslow and Leon Festinger, and his award-winning psychology textbooks are seminal even for non-psychologists. Adam asks Elliot about his pioneering work on making mistakes and cognitive dissonance, or the discomfort we feel when we realize that our attitudes or actions contradict our values. Then, the two discuss the dangers (and upsides) of rationalizing our beliefs — and strategies for making better decisions while keeping an open mind.

After we make a decision, we often tell ourselves a story about why our choice was the right one to make. It's a mental process that psychologist Elliot Aronson calls self-justification. These rationalizations can sometimes lead us to excuse bad behavior or talk ourselves out of a poor choice. But are there also times when self-justification can be used for good? This is the second part of our series on cognitive dissonance. Listen to the first episode: How We Live with Contradictions.

Think about the last time you did something you knew was wrong. How did you explain your actions to yourself? All of us tell stories about why we do the things we do. We justify our failures, and come up with plausible explanations for our actions. This week, Elliot Aronson explains the mental processes behind this type of self-justification, and shares how he helped develop one of the most widely-known concepts in psychology: cognitive dissonance.If you're interested in learning more about the origins of cognitive dissonance, listen to our episode When You Need It To Be True. Do you like the ideas and insights we feature on Hidden Brain?

Ever wondered what it's like to be a VP or Director of Engineering? Kendra chats with Alex Robson about leadership in technology, what you can get out of coaching or an MBA program (should you be interested), and what makes a high performing team. We'll also chat about recommended content to hone your tech leadership skills. Alex Robson's site and blog: https://robsonconsulting.services Alex's content recommendations for folks who want to think more about technical leadership: "I believe Camille Fournier and Will Larson are wonderful writers with invaluable insights and advice. For product thinking, I recommend folks read The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, Principles of Lean Product Development Flow by Don Reinertsen, Safer Sooner Happier by Jonathan Smart, and Accelerate by Dr. Nicole Forsgren. Be sure to read books on leadership that are outside of engineering. Dan Pink's Drive and Eliyahu Goldratt's The Goal are two of my usual recommendations. Last but not least - read books that are about human behavior. Both economists and psychologists ask important questions that may help you unlock better ways to relate to and understand others. I love Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow, and highly recommend Mistakes Were Made (but not by me) by Carol Tavins and Elliot Aronson."

Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson are distinguished psychologists and co-authors of Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me), the definitive book on self-justification and cognitive dissonance. They have lectured at multiple top universities in the United States, and their work has been featured in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal and Scientific American. Carol and Elliot joined host Robert Glazer on the Elevate Podcast to discuss why we fall into self-justification traps, how to overcome our biases in life and leadership, and much more.

Katti aus Holland hatte die Idee für unser heutiges Frühstück: "…Mir ist allerdings doch ein Thema gekommen, zu dem ich gerne eure Perspektive hören würde - Umgang mit Reue und Bedauern. Schwierige Gefühlszustände, die oft mit (vermeintlich falsch) getroffenen Entscheidungen, vertanen Chancen und nicht beim Schopfe gepackten Gelegenheiten einhergehen. Gibt es etwas, das ihr bereut, was ihr im Rückspiegel betrachtet anders machen würdet, wenn ihr könntet?" Das Thema ist wirklich spannend: Was ist Reue im psychologischen Sinne überhaupt? Wie entsteht sie und kann jeder Reue im gleichen Maße empfinden? Wozu ist sie gut und wann kann sie krank machen? Wir sprechen u.a. auch über das Buch der australischen Palliativpflegerin Bronnie Ware "5 Dinge, die Sterbende am meisten bereuen”. Das ist eine Sammlung von Gesprächen, in denen Menschen ihr kurz vor ihrem Tod erzählten, was sie rückblickend am meisten in ihrem Leben bedauern und wünschten, anders gemacht zu haben. Am häufigsten wurde Folgendes genannt: • Ich wünschte, ich hätte den Mut gehabt, mir selbst treu zu bleiben, statt so zu leben, wie andere es von mir erwarteten. • Ich wünschte, ich hätte nicht so viel gearbeitet. • Ich wünschte, ich hätte den Mut gehabt, meinen Gefühlen Ausdruck zu verleihen. • Ich wünschte, ich hätte mir mehr Freude gegönnt. • Ich wünschte, ich hätte den Kontakt zu meinen Freunden gehalten. Deshalb: Wir möchten Euch Mut machen, Dinge zu tun und anzusprechen, die Euch am Herzen liegen und Sachen nicht auf später zu verschieben. Wir haben nur dieses eine Leben und das findet JETZT statt. Also probiert Euch aus, erfüllt Euch Eure Träume möglichst JETZT, bevor es durch unvorhersehbare Umstände womöglich zu spät ist und Ihr bereut, etwas NICHT getan zu haben. Viel Mut dafür! Und wir freuen uns wie immer riesig auf Eure Kommentare, Eure Themenvorschläge - und empfehlt uns gern weiter… Annika + Michael

We're diving head first into a necessary and energetic discussion about a topic that has stirred the medical world: hormone replacement therapy (HRT).  HRT is both a medical and feminist issue and we're creating a call to action for all women to educate ourselves in order to advocate for ourselves.As with many of the experts we've connected with in our menopause community, Avrum Bluming and Carol Tavris didn't set out to be activists.  These leaders were compelled by the shift in culture around treating women with symptoms of perimenopause as a result of the groundbreaking research done by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI).  Overnight the perception of HRT transformed dramatically, and stopped being prescribed. Bluming and Tavris are joining us to address the exaggerated claims made by the Women's Health Initiative and shed light on the overlooked benefits of HRT, all while ensuring that the specter of breast cancer risk remains low.  AVRUM BLUMING, MDAvrum Bluming received his MD from the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. He spent four years as a senior investigator for the National Cancer Institute and for two of those years was director of the Lymphoma Treatment Center in Kampala, Uganda. He organized the first study of lumpectomy for the treatment of breast cancer in Southern California in 1978, and for more than two decades he has been studying the benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy administered to women with a history of breast cancer. Dr. Bluming has served as a clinical professor of medicine at USC and has been an invited speaker at the Royal College of Physicians in London and the Pasteur Institute in Paris. He was elected to mastership in the American College of Physicians, an honor accorded to only five hundred of the over one hundred thousand board-certified internists in this country.CAROL TAVRIS, PhD  Carol Tavris received her PhD in social psychology from the University of Michigan. Her books include Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me), with Elliot Aronson; Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion, and The Mismeasure of Woman. She has written articles, op-eds, and book reviews on topics in psychological science for a wide array of publications — including the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times Book Review, the Wall Street Journal, and the TLS — and a column for Skeptic magazine. She is a fellow of the Association for Psychological Science and has received numerous awards for her efforts to promote gender equality, science, and skepticism. 

In this episode special guest host Jane Halonen joins Garth and Eric to interview Chris Cardone from MacMillan Publishers.  Chris announces on the podcast that she is retiring, and while we celebrate with her, it is also bittersweet.  In true Chris style, the show notes presented below for this episode were written by Chris: "Chris would like to thank ALL of her authors and Teaching of Psych instructors who supported her work over so many years. Without them and their kindness, I could not have succeeded in my work or learned so much about psychology.  Although I couldn't mention them all in the interview, and I will surely miss naming some here, I would like to especially thank the following authors and psychologists who have granted me so much of their time and consideration over the years, Dana Dunn, Elliot Aronson, Regan Gurung, Diane Halpern, Dave Myers, Barney Beins, Ken Keith, Rick Miller, and Janet Belsky.  I want to also thank my wonderful colleagues and team at Macmillan/Worth for all their support and friendship, especially Carlise Stembridge, Dan DeBonis, Andrea Page, Chuck Linsmeier, Shani Fisher, and Kate Nurre. Many thanks to Jane Halonen, Garth Neufeld, and Eric Landrum for letting me share some of my stories working in this wonderful field of psychology."

Eric chats with Elliot Aronson, Professor Emeritus at UC Santa Cruz. Elliot is one of the 100 most influential psychologists of the 20th century. He is known for his work on cognitive dissonance, where people do crazy things but not for crazy reasons, as he puts it, and the Jigsaw Classroom, intended to establish cooperation in competitive environments. He is the only person ever to receive all major awards from the American Psychological Association: for writing, research, and teaching.In this chat, Eric and Elliot go into a deep dive into the history of psychology and Elliot's role in it. What was it like working with the influential psychologists Abraham Maslow and Leon Festinger? Why did these two people dislike each other so much? How did racial segregation motivate Elliot's research? How can research ever address big social problems? Why are the 2010s the “decade of dissonance”?WE NOW HAVE A SUBSTACK!

Show Notes

Geçtiğimiz hafta, Kasım ayının son Çarşamba günü Kitap Kulübümüzün 23üncü buluşmasında Carol Tavris & Elliot Aronson'dan Hatalar Psikolojisi'ni konuştuk. Bu bölümde her zaman olduğu gibi katılımcılarımızın kitaba ilişkin görüşlerine yer veriyorum. Tavris ve Aronson sosyal psikoloji alanında çalışan bilim insanları. Kitabın orijinal adı “Mistakes were made” (but not by me) Bu politikacıların sorumluluk almadan yaptıkları itiraflara gönderme yapıyor. Yani bazı hatalar yapıldı ama yani ben yapmadım, benim kabahatim, ihmalim yok. Bunu Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Kissenger, Bush gibi politikacılardan örnekler vererek anlatıyor. Kitabın tamamı aslında bilişsel uyumsuzluk adı verilen Amerikalı sosyal psikolog Leon Festinger'in teorisi hakkında. Ki Aronson da onun öğrencisi. Bilişsel uyumsuzluk, bireyin inanç, davranış, söylem, değer ve fikirleri arasında bir çelişkiyle karşı karşıya kaldığı durumlarda ortaya çıkıyor. Kitapta çok çarpıcı bir tespit var. Tutarsız davranan bazı insanların bizi kandırmaya çalıştığı yanılgısına düşebiliyoruz, aslında onlar kendilerini kandırıyorlar. Kitabın arka yazılarından biri bunu güzel özetliyor. “Sevgililerin, avukatların, doktorların, politikacıların; herkesin kendi kendini nasıl kandırdığına dair etkileyici bir çalışma… Sunduğu bilimsel kanıtlar, gerçekçi ve sağduyulu cazibesi nedeniyle, Hatalar Psikolojisi oldukça inandırıcı. Bu kitabı okuyarak, liderlerimizin, sevdiklerimizin ve -dürüst davranırsak- kendimizin davranışlarını anlayabiliriz; insanın doğasının bazı şaşırtıcı gizemleri daha açık görünmeye başlayabilir. Kitabın sonunda hatalı adımlarımızı kabul etmekten kaçınmamızı sağlayan yöntemler, çok daha aşina hale geliyor. Biz -ve bizi yönetenlerle bize yol gösterenler- yalnızca “Ben bir hata yaptım, özür dilerim” demenin gücünü ve değerini bir anlasak, bizim ve herkesin hayatının ne kadar olumlu bir yönde etkileneceğinin farkına varırız.” Evet dilerseniz şimdi sohbetimize kulak verelim.

It's not perfect, and that's perfct!People don't want perfection. They want relatable.In 1966, researcher Elliot Aronson first discovered this with a study involving spilt coffee. An actor was filmed answering quiz questions. After answering, the actor then spilt his coffee down himself. Turns out, viewers rated him as more likeable after he spilt the coffee.Cybertruck sales didn't implode after Elon Musk's infamous failed unveiling (you know, the one where he said the glass was bulletproof and then it cracked twice).Instead of pretending it didn't happen or writing a PR-style follow-up, Tesla made t-shirts laughing at the incident. This is the topic we're discussing in this week's episode. Listen & Enjoy!

Hey Wise Wordians, Welcome back to another episode of Wise Words Book Summaries.Building on our previous episode where we summarised 'Influence' by Robert Cialdini, this week we are summarising 'Age of Propaganda' By Anthony Pratkanis and Elliot Aronson.Whereas 'Influence' looked at the means at which an individual can be influenced through psychological manipulation, Age of Propaganda explores how these influential techniques are used on an everyday basis, especially in regards to business and politics. This is such a great book and is definitely worth a read if you don't want to be taken advantage of, whether that be by your local politician or an everyday salesman. Naturally this is quite a big subject and there are so many principles to cover, so we decided to split this book into 3 sections. We hope you enjoy it, and if you do, make sure to show us some love by leaving us a like or a comment, or even better, subscribing to our channel. Next week we will be covering part II of 'Age of Propaganda', so make sure to stay tuned so that you don't miss out.  -------------------  If you enjoyed this podcast make sure to check out our other content on our other platforms:     - Website: https://wisewords.blog/     - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wisewords.blog/     - Twitter: https://twitter.com/wisewordsblog     - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WiseWordsBlog

In this episode, I discuss what causes frustration that leads to aggression in our lives. The episode starts with understanding Tony Robbins 6 human needs and how having those differing needs can be a root of frustration if we can't learn to accept each others differences. As the talk continues, I discuss topics from the book by Elliot Aronson called "Social Psychology."  I explain the social impact of aggression on others through Bandura's Bobo doll experiment, and the presence of alcohol as a cause for more aggression. As this episode concludes, we explore ways to combat the frustration and urge to hurt others in 3 ways;  Counting to 10, taking deep breaths, and going for a walk. If you struggle with dealing with frustration and finding that you are hurting others, definitely give this one a listen!Social Psychology by Elliot Aronson

In this episode, I discuss prosocial behavior and what influences us to act for other people. Social exchange  and empathy altruism theory are a couple of many factors that come into play with helping others. In this one, I use the example of the Zegota found in the book "Social Psychology by Elliot Aronson to help illustrate the reasons behind helping. Tune in to learn more about why we help others!

Arabeskin babası Orhan Gencebay'ında dediği gibi: Hatasız Kul Olmaz. Sosyal psikolog Elliot Aronson'ın 1966'da yaptığı araştırmaya göre; hatalarınız sizi daha çok sevilen birisi yapabilir. Hatalarımızın kazandırdığı sempati 'Pratfall Etkisi'ni 1 dakikada anlattık!

I am delighted to have two respected researchers, Dr. Avrum Bluming and Dr. Carol Tavris, joining me today! They are the co-authors of the book, Estrogen Matters.  Avrum Bluming received his MD from the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. He spent four years as a senior investigator for the National Cancer Institute. For two of those years, he was director of the Lymphoma Treatment Center in Kampala, Uganda. For more than three decades, he has been studying the benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy administered to women with a history of breast cancer. Carol Tavris received her Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of Michigan. Her books include Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me), with Elliot Aronson; Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion, and The Mismeasure of Woman. Estrogen Matters provides a lot of scientific information that refutes much of the fear-mongering around hormone replacement therapy. It is helpful for women who have gone through cancer therapy and those who have not had to deal with cancer, in terms of the conversations they could consider having with their healthcare professionals. Dr. Bluming and Dr. Tavris are both incredible individuals, and it was an honor to interact with them! In this episode, we dive into statistical manipulation and the influence of the Women's Health Initiative. We talk about the study limitations and the role of data mining. We discuss the benefits of hormone replacement therapy and its impact on cancer risk, coronary artery disease, bone and brain health, and more. We also look at synthetic versus bioidentical hormones, routes of administration, and what we need to think about in our own hormonal health journeys.  I hope you enjoy my conversion with Drs. Bluming and Tavris today! Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Dr. Bluming talks about the Women's Health Initiative and explains why we went off-course after it came out in 2002.  The symptoms of menopause are not trivial. They are physically and mentally harmful to the body.  We need to understand the social and political trends against hormone replacement therapy. We need to understand that estrogen for women in menopause plummets to one percent of what it was before menopause. Dr. Bluming discusses the various issues with the article about hormone replacement therapy. If a woman starts taking hormones within ten years of her last menstrual period, she will have a reduced risk of heart disease and strokes and also improved longevity.  The women who fear taking hormone replacement therapy are afraid of breast cancer.  Estrogen reduces the risk of heart disease by up to fifty percent. Drs. Tavris and Bluming talk about bone health.  The impact of hormone replacement on brain health. How the investigators of the Women's Health Initiative manipulated their findings on dementia. How data mining gets used to sub-stratify data that has already been studied. The truth about bio-identical hormones. There is a lot of misinformation around the route of administration for estrogen.

In this episode Dennis discusses the issue of conformity from Elliot Aronson's book "The Social Animal." In it, Aronson discusses how people conform through compliance, identification, or internalization. We've seen how this has played out in Covid policies over the last two years but we can see the same thing in the Church as well. Conformity is not the problem; we all conform to something. To what we are conforming is the real issue and the main concern is how we get ourselves and others to conform to that thing.If you have any questions or comments that you'd like Dennis to address you can shoot him an email to dennissutherby@infaith.orgAnd if you'd like to support his ministry with InFaith you can text the word "discipleship" to 41444 or head over to https://infaith.org/dennis-sutherby and give there. Support the show

How does cognitive dissonance work? Does it help us, or lead us into a life of hypocrisy? Can understanding the theory help us understand the bizarre behavior we see in others, as well as ourselves? Cognitive dissonance has affected humans throughout history, but today's political, social, and medical pressures surround us in contradictory ideas, beliefs, and ideologies begging us to act on their behalf. To satisfy the expectations of others, bolster our egos, or even do the "more right thing," we make choices that amplify stressful feelings brought on by our cognitive dissonance. We've all been guilty of believing one thing, but speaking or acting in a way that completely contradicts our supposed beliefs. In most cases, the consequences are insignificant. In some, they can be catastrophic. In this blog post, I hope to just open your mind to what cognitive dissonance is, and how it affects each of us. With that awareness, I believe you'll better understand others' irrational behavior, and it'll be easier for you to pause and think before acting irrationally yourself. Note: I quote the book Mistakes Were Made (but not by me) by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson multiple times in this blog post. I recommend reading the book itself for a deeper exploration of cognitive dissonance. Keep in mind that the authors seem to be more left than right politically, so reading might make you stretch your thinking a little if you're more "right-minded" like me. What is cognitive dissonance? Cognitive dissonance is the stressful mental state of holding two opposing attitudes, beliefs, ideas, or opinions. Often, it causes us to act in a way inconsistent with how we see ourselves or want others to see us. For example, I've seen people share stories about how they lost a loved one due to the COVID vaccine, but then go on to say that they're pro-vaccine. Their belief about the vaccines being good butts up against their knowledge that a family member died because of them. Politics is an easy place to spot cognitive dissonance. Were I writing this during the Trump presidency, I'd no doubt have examples from him. But examples of cognitive dissonance have exploded under Biden, along with inflation. President Biden has repeatedly warned Americans of the threat of mis-, dis-, and malformation, while lying to Americans 120 times as of January 20, 2022, just short of his first year as the President. That's once every three days. Assuming he really believes in the importance of telling the truth, his head must be about ready to burst from the cognitive dissonance. The  International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences adds how you feel to the definition of cognitive dissonance: inconsistency between two cognitions creates an aversive state akin to hunger or thirst that gives rise to a motivation to reduce the inconsistency. Acting in a way inconsistent with what you believe increases stress. The higher your level of stress, or the greater the gap between how you see yourself and how you act, the more you'll be tempted to justify your actions instead of admitting your mistakes. Examples of Cognitive Dissonance in Action It's easy to think of examples of cognitive dissonance leading to social, political, relational, or financial problems. But, sometimes we feel its sting when we do the right thing as well. The following are five examples of how cognitive dissonance can affect us. Two are my own. I hope they help you see it in your life as well. You can't navigate its effects if you don't know it's there. Smoking on the Golf Course I was a fat kid for much of my childhood. At least, I was chubby by the standards of the 1980's. My nickname was CP, short for Chubby & Porky. That led me to an early interest in health and fitness. By the time I was 17, I'd shed the extra weight. Being that I was already becoming a fitness fanatic, if you would have asked me about smoking,

Hormone therapy for menopause is rife with confusion, fear, misunderstanding, and outright misinformation. Even doctors, who are often relying on long debunked research, can be at a loss to help women make educated choices for their health, well-being, and performance during this time. This week's guests, Drs. Avrum Bluming and Carol Tavris, authors of Estrogen Matters go to great lengths to describe the real risks (or lack thereof) and myriad benefits of hormone therapy for women in their menopausal years, as well as how to choose among the various formulations. Their goal: Arm every woman with all the information she needs to make an informed, educated decision for her personal menopausal needs. You can learn more about them and their work and buy their book at estrogenmatters.com. Avrum Bluming, MD, is a hematologist and medical oncologist, and a Master of the American College of Physicians, an award bestowed on fewer than 500 of the 100,000 board-certified internists in the United States. He is Emeritus Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Southern California and a former senior investigator for the National Cancer Institute. Carol Tavris, PhD, is a social psychologist who has written widely about psychological science. Her trade books include Anger; The Mismeasure of Woman; and, with Elliot Aronson, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me). She has won numerous awards for her science writing and contributions to skepticism and gender equity. **Support the Podcast** InsideTracker: 25% off at insidetracker.com/feisty Nuun Hydration: 30% off at nuunlife.com with the code HITPLAY Previnex: 15% off your first order with code HITPLAY at https://www.previnex.com/ Bonafide: 20% off your first purchase when you subscribe to any product with code HITPLAY at https://hellobonafide.com/

Our guest today is an American psychologist who has carried out experiments on the theory of cognitive dissonance and invented the Jigsaw Classroom, a cooperative teaching technique that facilitates learning while reducing interethnic hostility and prejudice.  In his 1972 social psychology textbook, The Social Animal, he stated his First Law: "People who do crazy things are not necessarily crazy," thus asserting the importance of situational factors in bizarre behavior. He is the only person in the 120-year history of the American Psychological Association to have won all three of its major awards: for writing, for teaching, and for research.  In 2007 he received the William James Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Association for Psychological Science, in which he was cited as the scientist who "fundamentally changed the way we look at everyday life.”  A Review of General Psychology survey, published in 2002, ranked him as one of the most cited psychologists of the 20th century. He officially retired in 1994 but continues to teach and write. It is an immense honour to host him on today's show to share his brilliant work. We welcome the author of The Social Animal, amongst a plethora of others,  Elliot Aronson, welcome to the show Jigsaw Classroom: https://www.jigsaw.org

Elliot Aronson is one of the most influential psychologists of all time. It was with tremendous gratitude and excitement that I hosted Dr. Aronson in conversation on the 22nd episode of the Psychology Is Podcast. We discuss his incredible life, and also cognitive dissonance, self justification, psychology in politics, the jigsaw classroom, censorship on college campuses, and more. Enjoy the conversation. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/psychology-is/support

 When something goes wrong, why do many people unconsciously justify their actions to themselves and reject the idea it is their fault? What kind of influences does such unconscious self-justification bring to our work and lives? How can we avoid falling into the trap of self-justification? This book will reveal the mechanism of unconscious self-justification to prevent you from falling into its trap.

Perception is actually similar to the phenomena we discussed in the previous chapter. You don’t know for sure if it’s true, but you like what you see. That lends credence to the sad truth that we humans are shallow and don’t prefer to think twice. But hey, at least in this book, you are learning to use this to your advantage. The following principles are all instances in which our snap judgment and viewpoints lead to significant psychological perspective shifts. The first perception for us to use to the gain-loss principle, which states that as one person’s opinion of somebody else becomes increasingly favorable, the other person is more likely to develop a more favorable opinion of them in return. In other words, we perceive consistency as boring, and we like a little bit of chase even in platonic friendships. Questions or comments regarding the podcast?

As human beings, we are social animals. And because of this, our opinions and behavior are always influenced by society and people. Such influences can be powerful enough to lead to actions that are beyond comprehension. But why do we yield to other people's points of view and follow what they do? How does what we see and hear subtly steer our minds? This book, The Social Animal, will usher you into the world of social psychology and reveal the factors that influence our opinions and behavior.

Personal responsibility, the ability to own up to one's mistakes, is a foundational element of character. It's also the only way we can grow and get better. But as anyone with any experience being human well understands, dang, it sure can be hard to do. My guest today explains why, and how you can yet rise to meet this important challenge. His name is Elliot Aronson, and he's a social psychologist and the co-author of Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts. Elliot first explains how and why we engage in self-justification to avoid facing our mistakes, and how this process is driven by the phenomenon of cognitive dissonance. We then discuss how once you make a decision in a certain direction, good or bad, you become more entrenched in your attitude about it and more likely to continue down that same path, and how this phenomenon represents what Elliot calls "the pyramid of choice." We end our conversation with how we can learn to approach the mistakes of others with more generosity, and our own mistakes with more honesty. Get the show notes at aom.is/mistakes.

Alhamdulillah, we’re now moving into our fifth year at Al-Andalus Book Club and with that comes our fifth booklist. My tongue is incapable of expressing how grateful I am for this blessing; the conversations we’ve had and the ideas we’ve been able to develop over the years with each book we read.   2020 was a strange year. It was one that forced us back to fundamentals. Our relationships with God, ourselves, family and the world around us. One of the themes that dominated the past year was the nature of science and what expertise (if any) is required to discuss (with authority) an opinion in relation to science. What is science? How do we attain knowledge? Can we agree on any scientific fundamentals for discussion on which we can build knowledge and understanding? Intersecting with that we’ve seen discussions on God, reason and whether we can have science and religion speak to each other on these topics rather than as mutually exclusive areas of knowledge and practice.   It seemed fortuitous that one of the reasons I launched Al-Andalus Academy in January of 2020 was to offer courses that would synthesise our knowledge of the physical and spiritual world as Islamic civilizations have done in the past, without realizing that a pandemic would hit only a couple of months later that year and starkly bring these issues into focus.   With this in mind, this year’s booklist will focus on the nature of human reason and scientific inquiry and its relationship to Islam. In this episode I'm sharing the recording of the first webinar for our first book of the year, Mistakes Were Made (but not by me) by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson.

Kenapa kita kesulitan mengakui ketika kita salah? Perilaku ini kita lakukan untuk menjaga perasaan harga diri dan keyakinan kalau kita adalah orang yang pintar, bermoral, dan benar. Padahal sebenarnya, Ini adalah cara kita menipu diri kita sendiri.

On this episode, Ameé has an amazing guest on the show. Dr. Carol Tavris's work as a writer, teacher, and lecturer has been devoted to educating the public about psychological science. Her book with Elliot Aronson, "Mistakes Were Made (But Not by ME): Why we justify foolish beliefs, bad decisions, and hurtful acts" (revised edition, 2015, and most recently updated in 2020 with a new chapter--"Dissonance, Democracy, and the Demagogue"), applies cognitive dissonance theory to a wide variety of topics, including politics, conflicts of interest, memory, the criminal justice system, police interrogation, the daycare sex-abuse epidemic, family quarrels, international conflicts, and business. She speaks to many people on the topics of self-justification; science and pseudoscience in psychology; gender and sexuality; critical thinking; and anger. And on this episode, Ameé and Carol talk about cognitive dissonance, what it is and why we ALL tend to justify our actions, behaviors and beliefs, no matter what anybody tells us. In this episode, you will hear: A definition of Dissonance Theory and what it is The Pyramid of Choice that pushes people further apart over timeIdentify our pre-packaged blind spots and biases, in particular naive realism, and privilege Applying cognitive dissonance theory to all of the events of 2020, including Black Lives Matter, anti-racism, and the US Presidential electionsHow we can use social media differently if we know we really aren't going to change other people's minds & in fact, could be making matters worse How we can become more skeptical and more aware of our biases so that we can be sure we are on the right side of the coin that is truth and dishonesty Resources:Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me) Third Edition: Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful ActsAnger: The Misunderstood Emotion

What Is Burnout? Two important definitions of burnout are: "A state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by long term involvement in emotionally demanding situations." – Ayala Pines and Elliot Aronson. "A state of fatigue or frustration brought about by devotion to a cause, way of life, or relationship that failed to produce the expected reward." – Herbert J. Freudenberger. ____________ Thank you so much for listening to todays podcast!!!

Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson are the co-authors of Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me), a book which explores the science of cognitive biases and discusses how the human brain is wired for self-justification. In this episode, Carol and Elliot discuss how our desire to reconcile mental conflicts adversely affects many aspects of society. The two give real-world examples to demonstrate the pitfalls in attempts to reduce mental conflict, or dissonance. The examples reveal that no one is immune to dissonance reduction behavior, how intellectual honesty can be trained and lastly, how to think critically in order to avoid engaging in harmful dissonant behaviors. We discuss: Carol and Elliot’s respective background, collaboration history, and their decision to write Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me) [4:00]; The theory of cognitive dissonance, and real examples of dissonance reduction in action [11:15]; How Elliot advanced the theory of cognitive dissonance [23:00]; The evolutionary reason for dissonance reduction, and cultural differences in what causes cognitive dissonance [30:30]; The great danger of smart, powerful people engaging in dissonance reduction [35:15]; Two case studies of cognitive dissonance in criminal justice [39:30]; The McMartin preschool case study—The danger in making judgements before knowing all the information [43:30]; How ideology distorts science and public opinion [56:30]; How time distorts memories [58:30]; The downside of certainty [1:05:30]; Are we all doomed to cognitive dissonance?—How two people with similar beliefs can diverge [1:09:00]; Cognitive dissonance in the police force [1:21:00]; A toolkit for overcoming cognitive dissonance [1:27:30]; Importance of separating identity from beliefs, thinking critically, & and the difficulty posed by political polarity [1:30:30]; How to impart the lessons from their work into future generations [1:48:00]; and More.

Elliot Aronson has seen a long and influential career in social psychology. Aronson got his PhD in 1959 from Stanford University, working with Leon Festinger on some of the first experiments testing dissonance theory. He authored a celebrated social psychology textbook, now in its twelfth edition, and he pioneered the research on the jigsaw classroom--"a cooperative learning technique that reduces racial conflict among school children, promotes better learning, improves student motivation, and increases enjoyment of the learning experience."Two weeks ago, I released a big episode on cognitive dissonance (check it out!), which pulled together interviews with several people who are experts in the field. Elliot Aronson was one of those experts, and I'm excited to share our full conversation with you this week. We talk dissonance but Elliot also shares how he became a social psychologist and what it takes to run a high-impact experiment.Check out Elliot's writing:The Role of Cognitive Dissonance in the Pandemic: A recent article in the Atlantic by Elliot Aronson and Carol TavrisThe Social Animal: Elliot's social psychology textbookMistakes Were Made (But Not By Me): A popular book about cognitive dissonance and other biases.Not By Chance Alone: Elliot's autobiographyAge of Propaganda: The Everyday Use and Abuse of Persuasion

This extremely timely episode of Brain Science features an interview with Dr. Carol Tavris, co-author of the newly released third edition of Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts. Cognitive Dissonance was actually discovered back in 1956 and it is one of the most well-replicated phenomena in experimental psychology. It  also impacts many aspects of our lives, including politics, which is why I am grateful to have Dr. Tavris back on the podcast to help us explore this fascinating, but also disturbing topic.

"The greater the mistake, the more foolish the belief, the more consequences of that belief...Then, the greater your need to reduce that dissonance in your favor because the gap is greater between yourself and feelings of self worth" - Carol Tavris  On this podcast, we talk about what happens after we make a terrible mistake. What is our response to our mistakes? Do we try to brush it off? Do we say screw it and double down?  Mistakes don't necessarily end with the mistake itself - it can get worse, much worse.  It's akin to the axiom for failure testing software;  Almost all catastrophic errors are the result of incorrect handling of non-fatal errors that are explicitly signaled.  Consider Bill Clinton. It is arguable that had he admitted to his relationship with Monica Lewinsky early and contritely, he would have avoided a 4-month long impeachment process - and embarrassing testimony recorded for posterity.  Or we can get better, we can learn and grow from our mistakes.  But that takes admission along with taking responsibility so that we don't make the same mistake again.  This podcast explains why that's so hard to do.  My guests are Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson. They co-authored the book "Mistakes Were Made (but Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions and Hurtful Acts" The book, and our conversation, is about cognitive dissonance theory applied to a wide variety of topics, including politics, religious belief, memory, criminal justice, and even family quarrels.  Carol is an American social psychologist, public intellectual, well-known writer, and lecturer. She's devoted her career to the psychological sciences; the beliefs and practices that guide people's lives. Carol has a Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of Michigan, has taught psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles and the New School for Social Research. Carol is also a member of the editorial board of Psychological Science in the Public Interest. Her articles, book reviews, and op-eds have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, The Times Literary Supplement, Scientific American and other publications. Elliot Aronson is one of the most famous names in the discipline of social psychology due in no small part to his best book, The Social Animal. He is listed among the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century. He has taught at Harvard University, the University of Minnesota, the University of Texas, and is currently professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz.  This was an easy conversation as Carol and Elliot are both so very likable. I told them that if I had to tell someone about my mistakes, it would be them, as they came across as genuinely caring.  I think you'll agree.  Our conversation covers these topics and more.  Why people might justify bad decisions.  Cognitive dissonance The pyramid of choice Faulty memory  Keeping beliefs against revealed evidence  Dealing with our bad memories How to learn from mistakes  Cancel culture  Partitioning mistakes from persons Anatomy of an apology  Enjoy!

Dr. Elliot Aronson developed the Jigsaw Method as a strategy to increase cooperation at a time when classrooms were plagued by hostility due to classroom desegregation. The Jigsaw Method both had students standout as unique entities as well as essential group members. Students become experts on a topic but then must teach what they know to the rest of their group. During an intermediate step, the experts come together to improve upon what has been learned during independent study. Dr. John Hattie conducted extensive metastudy analysis to include the Jigsaw Method. He discovered that the effect size for the Jigsaw method was very large (1.2). Out of 130 learning factors, the Jigsaw method ranked seventh. In this episode, we look at the Jigsaw Method in more depth. Come learn more.

Episode 17. Stopping smoking with one book - Mistakes were made (but not by me) by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson. I been smoking for the best part of my adult life, since I was 13 years old, and I started to want to stop for some time but did not know, when and how it would even possible. Well one book just helped me quitte the habit without a day. I’m shocked as how easy it is actually, I always thought it would be one of the hardest addictions to give up, but actually after reading the book Mistakes were made (but not by me) by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson, it was very easy. I realised I have been lying to myself during all theses years about why I was smoking and why it was okay for me to keep smoking even though I knew it was not good for me. I strongly advise anyone who wants to stop smoking to read that book, and I will become apparent and your will give up smoking upon finishing the first few chapters, Yep, I did not actually finished the book yet, but the work is done, I do not want to even smoke a cigarette and I know why, well I may smoke on a joint at party if I feel like it at the time, but I will not smoke and kill myself anymore. You see smoking became something that does not fit my new healthy lifestyle, and I could not justify the habit any longer. Just share this episode or the book at any one you know that wants to quit smoking, if you do not have an issue with smoking or any other addictions the book is still a good read. Thank you for listening or reading.

You've felt the pang...you believe strongly that recycling is important to cut down on resource extraction, but with no bin at work, it's just too much to haul all the cans home. You believe in taking responsibility for mistakes, but if you own up to scratching that car, it may cost you hundreds of dollars your family can't afford. That pang can be called "dissonance." In the book, Mistakes were Made (But Not by Me) Elliot Aronson and Carol Tavris say, "Cognitive dissonance is a state of tension that occurs whenever a person holds two cognitions (ideas, attitudes, beliefs, opinions) that are psychologically inconsistent, such as "Smoking is a dumb thing to do because it could kill you" and "I smoke two packs a day." Elliot Aronson has written too many books to list, and is one of the most honored and cited psychologists of all time. His co-author on Mistakes were made calls him the "father of self-justification theory." Our conversation ranges from the political to the personal, and I mix in an interview I did with a Congressman who confronted me, saying I was ignoring facts. Hopefully you'll find it as interesting as I did!

This week I talk to comedy writer Helen Burak (The Salmon Pages, Lights Out podcast) about "Mistakes Were Made (but Not By Me)" by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson. We dive into the book's main topic -- how most people are utterly determined to avoid admitting their mistakes. We also talk about the importance of failure, the debunked science of repressed memories being recalled through hypnosis, and taking improv classes at UCB. Many things! You should follow Helen on Twitter @helenburak and check out her articles on The Salmon Pages (on Medium and Facebook) if you like laughing at Hollywood. As always, all of my stuff is on TylerEaton.net

In 1955, aliens from the planet Clarion contacted a Chicago housewife to warn her that the end of the world was imminent. Psychologist Leon Festinger saw this as a unique opportunity to test a new theory about human cognition. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow him inside a UFO religion as it approaches the apocalypse. We'll also try to determine when exactly LBJ became president and puzzle over some wet streets. Intro: There's a hexagon of cloud at Saturn's north pole. You're not as unpopular as you think you are.

Have you ever tried to point out mistakes in someone – maybe in your child, spouse, employee, or even your boss? And what do you get? A sharp rebuttal or a strong push back. Peace comes to those whose self-concept and behaviors are in harmony with each other. If not, the result is cognitive dissonance. When you do something wrong, your brain is wired to try and relieve the tension it feels by immediately making up excuses for you. On this show, our guest, Dr. Carol Tavris, will give us some tips to handle this subconscious process so that we can learn and grow from our mistakes instead of simply denying and self-justifying.About Carol Tavris, Ph.D.Carol Tavris is a social psychologist, writer, and lecturer who has sought to use the contributions of psychological science to dispel some of the harms of pseudoscience. Her book with Elliot Aronson, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me), explains why people don't change their minds, recognize the harms they inflict, or give up useless practices simply because the evidence says they should. Carol is also author of the classic Anger: The misunderstood emotion and The Mismeasure of Woman:Why women are not the better sex, the inferior sex, or the opposite sex. She has written hundreds of articles, essays, and book reviews on topics in psychological science, and she currently writes a column, “The Gadfly,” for Skeptic. Carol has given lectures, workshops, and keynote addresses to diverse audiences around the world. She is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science; her other awards include an honorary doctorate from Simmons College for her work in promoting critical thinking and gender equity; an award from the Center for Inquiry, Independent Investigations Group, for contributions to skepticism and science; and the Media Achievement Award from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology.BooksMistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)Anger: The Misunderstood EmotionSupport the show (https://mailchi.mp/7c848462e96f/full-prefrontal-sign-up)

Your 20-something-year-old son decides to buy a car without your help and you come to find out that he got ripped off. He tells you the story of what happened and you cannot believe it. Apparently, your son agreed to buy a car off Craigslist, gave your home address to a stranger, and thought nothing of the request to pay in cash, even when the seller showed up with a car that looked nothing like the one in the online ad. When you point out these red flags to your son, all he does is get mad and come up with reasons of self-justification, which makes you furious. Our guest, Dr. Carol Tavris, will say that, in fact, your son is just a victim of his brain's own deception. Find out about the perils of cognitive dissonance and why we find it hard to accept our own mistakes.About Carol Tavris, Ph.D.Carol Tavris is a social psychologist, writer, and lecturer who has sought to use the contributions of psychological science to dispel some of the harms of pseudoscience.

Hey, lovely radicals... podcast time! In today's episode of the "Life. Unrestricted." podcast, I talk to Chris Sandel from outside of London, UK. Chris is a health and nutrition expert who runs his own company called "7 Health", and alongside that, his wonderful podcast "Real Health Radio". Chris works with clients all over the world through private consultations, and he also creates and runs online training programs. Chris’ approach to health and food is completely non-dogmatic, and he knows that there IS no solution that’s perfect for everybody, and that the more anxious and stressed out we are about food and weight, our health and our life will only suffer for it. Chris wants his clients to find their own personal best health, whatever that means for each individual, mentally, physically and emotionally. He also has a specific interest in improving client’s general relationships with food and body image issues. Listen to Chris talk about: – Why he considers himself lucky in terms of body image, and relaxedness around food – How he went from being a "fast food" youngster to a food-appreciating, health-conscious cook – Why it’s the people who are most "keen" to go on detoxes, cleanses and any types of restrictive eating are the very people that should avoid all that – Why he thinks that the majority of "diet-y" tipps out there are dangerous, and why we should NOT restrict our food – Why anyone with a "difficult" relationship to food should never do a cleanse or detox – Why we should broaden what foods we allow ourselves to eat, instead of narrowing the choices – Why he thinks weight-loss as a focus is not conducive to improve health – How he works with clients and what he focuses on – What kind of questions he asks of his clients to find out what the real issue is – What he would do with our imaginary client Susy who’s experiencing a loss of periods, bad sleep, digestive issues, who’s often restricting food and overexercising – Why sleep is a central piece when it comes to health – How eating and sleep are related – What frequent nightly peeing (and/or nightly sweating) points to – Why restricting is directly linked to the increase of stress hormones, and how they wreak havoc with our system – What HA (Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea – when the menstrual cycle goes missing) translates to, in terms of why a body decides to shut down the reproductive system – How HA is impacting a person’s health in worse ways than one might suspect at first glance (bone loss, depression, anxiety, thin hair/nails, mood swings, irritability, low libido, lowered body temperature, sleep issues, etc.) – Why (even though many physicians might recommend it!) going on the birth control pill is NOT solving the problem of HA, but – in fact – will only mask the problem by producing a so-called "withdrawal bleed" – What the Minnesota (Semi-)Starvation Experiment tells us about our own experiences with restriction, the impact on our physical and mental health, and how it is all related to a lack of energy availability – How he helps his clients deal with weight gain when they start recovering from dieting/overexercising – What is usually hidden underneath the fear of gaining weight – Why, especially in the "health and wellness (and weight-loss) realm", we are prone to fall for the "survivorship bias" (meaning that just because something worked for someone, we automatically assume that the same advice must be true for us) – What we trip over with the "halo effect" – What the "negativity bias" does to our judgment – How recovering from Hypothalamic Amenorrhoea improves much more than a woman’s hormones – Why he brings the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) study with all of his clients, and why taking this test can give a lot of insight as to why a person is struggling in life – What his latest project "Tummy" is about... ...

Dlaczego tak trudno szczerze przeprosić? Dlaczego inni ludzie robią coś, co jest według naszej oceny ewidentną głupotą, a gdy zwracamy im na to uwagę, brną dalej, bo są przekonani do własnej racji? Dlaczego usprawiedliwiamy swoje głupie poglądy, złe decyzje oraz szkodliwe działania? Wszystkie odpowiedzi na powyższe pytania znajdziecie w książce “Błądzą wszyscy (ale nie ja)” Elliot Aronson i Carol Tavris. Polecam! Kasia

Host: Indre Viskontas Back in February, Yahoo! President and CEO Marissa Mayer made a decision that pushed gender issues and the work/life balance back into the headlines: she mandated that her employees can no longer work from home. It's a decision that impacts families with children in a big way—and puts a focus on women in the workplace. Are decisions like Mayer's related to a broader cultural bias against women? Do biological differences between men and women account for the gender disparity in leadership positions in many industries? What do we even know about gender differences? Does science have answers to any of these questions yet? To find out, we invited Carol Tavris, a noted social psychologist and a pioneer of gender studies, to join us in this week's episode. Carol Tavris received a PhD in social psychology from the University of Michigan, and has taught psychology at UCLA and the New School for Social Research. She is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, the Association for Psychological Science and the Center for Inquiry. Her articles, book reviews and op-eds have appeared in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and other publications. The themes of Tavris' work include critical thinking, feminism, and criticism of pseudoscience. Her books include four psychology textbooks, The Mismeasure of Woman, and Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me), co-authored with Elliot Aronson.

The theory of cognitive dissonance was one of the revolutionary ideas in social psychology, and it was developed by one of the pioneers in the field. On this program, Elliot Aronson discussed life as a social psychologist.

Carol Tavris is a social psychologist, lecturer, and writer whose books include Anger and The Mismeasure of Woman. She has written on psychological topics for the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, Scientific American, Skeptical Inquiry, and many other publications. A Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the Association for Psychological Science, and a member of the editorial board of Psychological Science in the Public Interest, she is also a fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. Her new book is Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts, co-authored with Elliot Aronson, one of the most distinguished social psychologists in the world. In this wide-ranging discussion with D.J. Grothe, Carol Tavris explains "cognitive dissonance," and how it can lead to self-deception and self-justification. She talks about the ways that reducing dissonance leads to real-world negative effects in the areas of politics, law, criminal justice, and in interpersonal relationships. She also explores what dissonance theory says about confronting those who hold discredited beliefs, what dissonance theory may say about religious and paranormal belief, and the role of the scientific temper in avoiding the pitfalls of cognitive dissonance.
