According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have already been more than 240 mass shootings in 2022 in the United States. A striking 98% of Mass Shooters are men. This show asks the question “WHY?” In a fascinating discussion with social psychologist, Dr. Frank T. McAndrew, he draws upon his research and additional findings on Gender, Aggression and Violence to offer answers. Dr. McAndrew begins with a consideration of the innate aggression even early man needed to survive, establish dominance, to mate and protect offspring. Aggression and dominance has always found ways in cultures to establish pecking orders. Dr. McAndrew distinguishes this with the desperate violence of the mass shooter who rarely holds a place of prominence.. He also distinguishes different motives for Mass Shooters and School Shooters. He underscores that while we account for social factors in Mass Shootings, we often overlook biological factors. He presents a fascinating study that he and colleagues conducted entitled, “ Guns, Testosterone and Aggression” and in the final segment discusses the difference between the way men and women show aggression and the focus on mental illness as a way to disregard other factors like the availability of guns in the tragic violence of Mass Shooters. This is an important show to hear.

“Privacy - like eating and breathing - is one of life's basic requirements.” ― Katherine Neville, author The sanctuaries we call home, no matter how large or small, provide the comfort and necessary gift of privacy. We hold the key to whom will enter, who lives, who dines, who sleeps, within the four walls we pay each month a large portion of our hard earned money. Similar to our sanctuaries, we are given choices in our lives, many which take time to materialize, but with clear-eyed effort, the beauty, the serenity, can be achieved. Much like the cleanliness and tidiness of a home, we provide self-care, tend to our physical and mental well-being so we can think clearly, decide well and experience true contentment each day. The ideas, the people, the conversations, the energy we open our doors to in our physical house affect the quality of our home-life. And the good news is, we hold the key to the door. Immediately, when I think of a home and privacy, the voice of Diane Lane's character Frances in Under the Tuscan Sun dances through my mind, "What are four walls, anyway? They are what they contain. The house protects the dreamer." And we all need to dream, to give ourselves time and the space to explore our wildest hopes and desires, to become fully acquainted with what sparks joy in our own hearts and minds void of society's influence. A crucial component to living a life of sincerity, to tapping into and discovering our unique potential which the world wants us to share is having the privacy to do so, to finding a steady contentment in each of our days no matter what is swirling around us. So much of our lives is out of our control, but there is much that can be within our control when we become aware of these aspects of our lives (explore these posts and episodes on this exact topic of control). "Maintaining some degree of control over interactions with other people is crucial to our psychological well-being." —Dr. Frank T. McAndrew The key to a home of tranquility and the key to a tranquil life is to establish a personal privacy  approach determining who and what can have access to various aspects of your life. Professor of Psychology Dr. Frank T. McAndrew explains how we have four types of privacy in our lives - solitude, intimacy, anonymity, and reserve. Understanding what each type of privacy is as well as how much we need of each (and we do need some level of each in our lives - although, the amount will differ from person to person) helps us to better understand how to find deeper contentment in our everyday lives. Today we'll explore how to find the balance of healthy personal privacy which can elevate the quality of our lives. Recently, as many TSLL readers and podcast listeners know, I reformed my own privacy boundaries here on the blog this past October and while there were some who pushed back as I was changing what they had become accustomed, the personal peace I gave myself has been priceless. 1.Do the homework for the course on You In many ways our entire life is the Course on Ourselves 101 (if we choose to enroll and pay attention), but as I shared in 2011 and further in my first book, sharing more than what is consciously or unconsciously comfortable is often a reflection of our own insecurity and our need to be approved externally regarding how we are living our lives. By exploring our true needs, being honest with ourselves about the skills we need to learn and/or improve, we grow as a human being who can be clear-eyed about the true level of privacy versus openness which harmonizes best with the life we want to live. ~In my second book, two chapters are entirely dedicated building our Toolbox to live well. One chapter explores the helpful skills we can all cultivate in our own lives and the second chapter explores how to unearth and strengthen our unique skills which are innate to us if only we knew how to find them. ~Read the three-part series, Why Not . . . Get to Know Yourself? 2. The importance of solitude “Solitude sometimes is best society.”  ― John Milton As shared in episode #90 focusing on the Power of Solitude, it is when we gift ourselves with solitude - time alone in our own company - we are as Frédéric Lenoir (author of Happiness: A Philosopher’s Guide) then able to to make sense of our “deeper nature” - a vital component to discovering true happiness or as I describe it - true contentment. Essentially, in order to do the homework suggested in #1, we must find time for regular alone time. Each of us will need our custom amount, but even extroverts, like introverts, need regular solitude. 3. The dangerous cement wall of self-protection A healthy personal privacy approach evolves as we grow and become better students of ourselves and aware of our strengths and the truths of the world. When we have been hurt after having bravely chosen to be vulnerable, the natural human response is to pull back, self-protect and heal. And heal we must. Sometimes healing comes in the form of simply finding your true foundation of self - time with yourself without the poking of the world. In time, we feel rested and resolved that we can move forward healthily without projecting our pain or assumptions onto others who were not part of our past, but sometimes, we are unaware that we have created a permanent cement wall which disconnects us unhealthily from the world and making healthy connections. In the latter example, reaching out for an expert's help - a counselor perhaps - is a healthy investment in understanding the delicate dance of finding the best personal privacy approach. From my own experience, I too have walled myself off at times after a relationship comes to a painful, albeit necessary end. And in the short-term, it was a healthy choice, but the pain, the hurt can radiate out into other aspects of our lives blocking us off from moving forward and establishing new, better connections with others. 4. Know when it is okay to open up more with others Described in Psychology Today as "bids of trust", when we gradually explore whether to welcome someone further into our private life, take it slow, be present and engage gradually. As shared in episode #140 when talking about Emotional Intelligence, this action is known as bidding, and a reciprocal bidding engagement is one of the keys to healthy, intimate relationships. In other words, don't keep opening up if the person you are trying to engage with doesn't respond to your bids. 5. Healthy maintainence of privacy requires we be present in our lives each day, each interaction When it comes to any means by which you are sharing your life with the public - a conversation with a neighbor, a posting on social media, the clothes you are wearing, what you share at work with staff, clients or students, first, be sure you are responding rather than reacting to the situation (or a situation), and fully explore why you feel you need to share with the particular person information you are sharing? Have you dealt with your feelings around the event or situation or is this your way of working through it? If the latter is the case, check why you are sharing your emotional journey with a complete stranger or acquaintance. What are you seeking to gain? Knowledge of our intentions when we share will help us better understand if we should share. Meaning, will we in hindsight wish we had not revealed so much. Let me take an example from my high school students: if you are choosing to wear a particular top or dress or outfit because it epitomizes you - wear it with absolute aplomb, but, if after being honest with yourself, you are wearing it to see who will react, who will applaud, who will be interested in you "now", then you may be wearing it due to your own insecurities and lack of self-acceptance. The same example is true for social media - why are you posting what you are posting - (1) to communicate a true personal value OR to follow? (2) to contribute a positive solution to a problem OR to vent?; (3) to confirm what you know to be true about yourself and your life OR to not be left behind or left out? "Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others." — Brené Brown When it comes to the healthy alternative if you find yourself in the latter examples shared above, let's take a look at all three: (1) Rather than acting or posting in order to follow the crowd, why not first (reverting back to #1) take the time to get to know yourself and in so doing, you will be strengthening your inner-self which is where the only source of reassurance resides (listen to episode #273). (2) Instead of venting, journal it out, engage in physical exercise, give yourself 24-hours, talk to one person who you have an intimate relationship but frame the conversation so that it is constructive, not reactionary. (3) Lastly, if you are posting or sharing in order to not be left out, first seek self-approval and then explore the need you are seeking from others - love? reduction of stress? connection? community? The best way to cultivate the latter starts with patience, self-awareness, generosity and lack of expectation. Admittedly, when we are in the throws of insecurity, we may not be able to consciously identify our actions as coming from a place of insecurity rather than truth. Sometimes the most powerful teacher is reflection. However, if we are reflecting, we can learn and apply that knowledge forward. We are each fallible human beings, and we will make mistakes. The good news about making mistakes is that we are choosing to grow, learn and follow our curiosity. Culture is powerful, but as we become self-aware, we have the opportunity to recognize ahead of time what is trying to speak for us and when we are speaking or acting for ourselves (hint: the goal is the latter :)). ~Listen/Read Episode #145: Responding vs. Reacting - The Difference ~Read Self-Acceptance: A Powerful Tool ~Listen/Read Episode #143: Examining the Benefits of Self-Awareness ~Listen/Read Episode #273: 12 Key Factors to Life-Long Physical and Mental Good Health 6. Free yourself to be your true self in public The beautiful paradox of establishing healthy personal privacy is that you can be more fully yourself in public. Share what you want to share, how you want to share it because you have a stable and secure center which can only be found within. When you know you are not making decisions, sharing or reacting to gain something you don't feel you can give yourself, you are revealing inner clarity and strength. You are not sharing anything you have not already dealt with or worked through, and by sharing it you may be either directly or indirectly trying to help others. The best key to knowing when your personal privacy practice is out of sync with your true self is when you feel at the very least discontent and at the worst, deep pain and heartache. Explore the items listed above, have an honest conversation with yourself. Be patient with yourself as you come to understand more fully your actions. Personally, my own journey of maintaining my own personal privacy is one of mistakes, corrections, tough decisions which have lead to far easier decisions (although, to the outside world they may appear difficult) and an exercise in the growth mindset. When we acknowledge mistakes and refrain from "oversharing", we are empowered not only to live a more fulfilling life for ourselves but to be better able to engage with others, understand others and cultivate healthy relationships with others. Interestingly enough, another privacy paradox which is helpful to understand along our journey toward fulfillment: Putting up a boundary can be just as necessary as taking down the boundary. Knowing which should happen comes with self-knowledge and security with oneself. Each are skills, and we all can learn and strengthen them in our own lives at any time. "I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public; they forget that invisibility is a superpower." —Banksy Whether in our professional lives or our personal lives, keeping something for ourselves reminds us how priceless the relationship with ourselves is. Invest in yourself, take the time to get to know yourself, and in so doing, finding the healthy personal privacy appraoch tailored to you and where you find yourself in your life today will be all the more easier to establish.

Badut, beberapa orang mungkin menyukainya, tapi tidak jarang oranglain yang menganggap bahwa badut itu menyeramkan, bahkan memunculkan pengalaman traumatik hingga Fobia (ketakutan irasional) terhadap badut yang di sebut sebagai Coulrophobia. Banyak dari anak-anak kecil dan juga orang dewasa yang memiliki "kengerian" yang luar biasa ketika melihat sosok badut, apalagi di tambah dengan popularitas tokoh "Pennywise" badut mengerikan dari Novel dan Film IT dan juga Joker, tokoh penjahat yang banyak melakukan hal-hal yang juga kejam. Kata “Clown” atau Badut pertama muncul sekitar abad ke 16 dan digunakan oleh Shakespeare, seorang penulis dan sastrawan terkenal untuk menggambarkan beberapa tokoh bodoh dan konyol dalam sandiwara teaternya. Frank T. McAndrew, seorang psikolog sosial dalam sebuah tulisannya menjelaskan beberapa hal yang menjadi alasan kenapa sebagian dari kita takut atau tidak menyukai badut. Bahkan ia juga menyampaikan sebuah penelitian di Inggris yang menunjukkan bahwa hanya sedikit sekali anak-anak yang menyukai badut. Penelitian yang sama juga menyatakan ketika kita menaruh Foto atau patung badut rumah sakit anak justru tidak membawa hasil baik. Tidak heran, banyak orang yang tidak menyukai "Ronald McDonald" atau jika di Indonesia banyak anak kecil yang takut melihat Ondel-ondel. Penelitian yang di lakukan dengan 1.341 relawan berusia antara 18-77 tahun mengungkapkan bahwa kita cenderung merasa takut atau "ngeri" terhadap hal yang terlalu ambigu, maksudnya disini adalah situasi atau tokoh yang membuat kita kebingungan yang tidak tahu bagaimana seharusnya bereaksi. Rami Nader adalah seorang psikolog asal Kanada yang meneliti Coulrophobia juga menyatakan bahwa Rasa takut yang tidak rasional terhadap badut di sebabkan oleh riasan wajah dan pakaian tidak wajar yang di kenakan untuk menyembunyikan jati diri dan perasaan orang di balik tokoh itu. Mereka mungkin terlihat bahagia, tapi itu belum tentu apa yang mereka rasakan sesungguhnya --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/psikologid/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/psikologid/support

McAndrew)认为：八卦并不是什么流行文化，而是人类自古以来就有的行为。 石器时代，我们的祖先在部落中生存。部落不仅需要共同合作，抵御外敌入侵，部落成员之间也存在着相互竞争。在这种残酷的生存环境下，小道消息就显得至关重要。八卦可以帮助我们的祖先掌握同伴和敌人的信息，从而更好地保护自己的利益，获取更多的资源。物竞天择的进化过程中，喜欢八卦的祖先存活下来。所以现在的人类与生俱来就拥有八卦的基因。除了人类自带的八卦基因，八卦本身还有许多好处。首先，分享小道消息可以无形之中拉近人与人之间的距离，是一种有效的社交方式。 如果两个本身不熟的人，共同分享了关于第三个人的八卦，他们就会感到彼此很亲近。这是一种展示共同价值观的机会，让大家更容易成为朋友。英国牛津大学的人类学家罗宾·邓巴（Robin Dunbar），这人咱们之前遇到过。在《大脑皮质决定朋友圈上限》那期，其中核心的理论依据就是他提出的“邓巴数字”。这位邓巴，他有一个很有趣的比喻，他把人类八卦的行为比喻成灵长类动物的互相梳理毛发。为什么这么比喻呢？灵长类动物是群居动物。在群体中，地位高的会压迫地位低的。 所以，灵长类动物之间需要建立起亲密的伙伴关系，这是为了遇到危险时能有朋友来帮助自己。它们拥有自己专属的社交方式。比如，猿猴会通过互相梳理毛发，也就是捉虱子，来增进感情。猿猴每天最多会用20%的时间来互相梳毛。而人类的八卦聊天可以看成是声音形式的梳毛。人们在八卦的过程中，互相“梳毛”，分享信息，增进了友谊。八卦还有一个重要的社会功能，就是可以提升团队的凝聚力，促进团队合作。研究人员曾经仔细观察过一个电话呼叫中心，他们发现，效率最高的工作组和其它组只有一个地方有所不同。 就是：效率最高的组是全组人一起休息，而不是员工轮流休息。团队成员在共同休息的时间里，有了更多闲聊的机会，可以相互沟通。研究人员还发现，非正式交流越多的团队，解决问题的能力也越强。这里的非正式交流是指在正式会议和正式工作场合之外进行的交流。比如办公室的闲谈、午餐时进行的闲聊等。八卦就是一种非正式交流。 而人们喜欢八卦，还有另外一个很重要的原因就是为了自己开心。做人呢，最重要的就是开心。而聊八卦，可以让我们缓解内心的压力和痛苦，心情变得愉悦。美国加州大学伯克利分校的心理学教授马修•费恩伯格（Matthew Feinberg）发现，人们看到违背社会道德的事情发生时，通常会感到很气愤。但是，如果人们把这件事告诉了其他人，生理上的不适感就会消失。意大利帕维亚大学的研究人员还发现，人们在八卦的时候，脑细胞会分泌出内啡肽。内啡肽是一种类似吗啡的物质，等同于天然的镇痛剂，可以帮助人们减轻心理压力，缓解痛苦。 这么一看，适当的八卦还确实对身心有益，但是别忘了，八卦也是有原则的。一个很重要的原则就是不要对他人进行人身攻击。还有就是不要过分八卦，免得变成“八婆”哦！以上就是今天我想和你分享的内容，希望今天你又多了一点点的新知。我是你们的朋友褚笑，欢迎给我留言。期待着明天和你再见！Source1、社会合作靠八卦？2、为什么人们喜欢八卦呢？3、Why We Love To Gossip撰稿 | 栾舒主持人 | 褚笑，前中央人民广播电台主持人，《新知日历》节目总监制主编 | 韩悦思节目运营 | 鲜灵康专辑图视觉创意 | 贺归昀主视觉 | 李芳舟欢迎订阅，拓展你的知识边界
