- PS: Why Do We Gossip?!
Welcome back, study buddies! This week, we’re so excited to be joined by study author Eshin Jolly as he shares his own perspective as to what makes gossip such a hot topic of interest. How does gossip as communication help us learn about other people and the world around us? Tune in to find out just how complex gossip is as a form of human interaction.
The study we’re talking about today is “Gossip drives vicarious learning and facilitates social connection” by Eshin Jolly and Luke J. Chang. You can check out the study here:

28 min - Passing Notes: Why Do We Gossip?!
On this week’s Passing Notes episodes, we’re literally passing notes…gossiping about gossip! Do we actually benefit from gossiping? Why do we enjoy it so much? What purpose does it serve in our social relationships— besides entertaining us via reality t.v.? We’re sharing some of our own personal experiences and opinions about gossip, distinguishing between “positive” vs. “negative” gossip, and discussing what gossip truly means for and teaches us, both individually and collectively.
The study we brought to you last week and are continuing to talk about today is called, “Gossip drives vicarious learning and facilitates social connection” by Eshin Jolly and Luke J. Chang. You can check out the study here:

What flirty techniques are we ready to put to use in the competition arena? How does competitive flirting work in the digital world of dating apps?

28 min - Passing Notes: Can Kids Make Their Parents Care About Climate Change?!
Drill in some new knowledge with this week's passing notes - How do you combat a problem that requires a collective response, when the collective don't all agree that the problem exists? Taylor and Paola talk about some of the variables that affect both belief and action in regards to the climate change crisis, from big oil and the economy, to lifestyles, politics and education.
