Sitting With Uncertainty
It can sometimes be exciting when we don't know what's coming next. Other times, the unknown can be deeply troubling. This week, we talk with researcher Dannagal Goldthwaite Young about how we respond to uncertainty, and why this psychological trait plays a surprisingly large role in shaping our behavior, perspectives — even our political beliefs.
If you'd like to learn more about the intersection between psychology and our political views, check out these other Hidden Brain episodes:
