What shapes the way we think, feel, and behave? In Mind Matters, we dive into the fascinating world of social psychology to uncover how our innate biology and the cultures we live in intertwine to influence our actions. Inspired by Baumeister and Bushman’s Social Psychology and Human Nature, each episode explores powerful concepts like self-defeating behaviors, prejudice, emotion, and the self. Through captivating experiments and real-life stories, we reveal how our minds are driven by both automatic instincts and thoughtful decisions. Join us for an eye-opening journey into the hidden forces that shape our behavior, from nature to nurture and everything in between.
