Dr. Professor Peter K. Smith is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Goldsmiths College, University of London. His research interest is children’s social development. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society, the Association of Psychological Sciences, and the Academy of Social Sciences.

In this episode, we focus on bullying and cyberbullying. We first discuss the definition of bullying, from a developmental psychological perspective, bullying and child development, the types of bullying, bullying in infancy and adolescence, and also the personality traits that predispose children and adolescents do be either perpetrators or victims of bullying. Then, we talk about the peculiar case of cyberbullying, and in what ways it differs from traditional bullying, and also historical trends in bullying.

Dr. Lewis Goldberg is an American personality psychologist and a Professor Emeritus at the University of Oregon. He is closely associated with the lexical hypothesis, that says that any culturally important personality characteristic will be represented in the language of the particular culture. This hypothesis led to the discovery of a five-factor structure of personality trait adjectives (which he dubbed the Big Five).

In this episode, we talk about: the scientific history behind the lexical hypothesis; what happened in the 70’s that led to the development of the Big Five personality inventory; the limitations of the Big Five, and comparison with other personality inventories, like the HEXACO and the Myers-Briggs; personality traits in other animals; the distinction between temperament and personality; the ten aspects of the Big Five; the possibility of applying the Big Five to clinical psychology; and the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP).

Gapminder Foundation is a non-profit venture based in Stockholm, Sweden, that promotes sustainable global development and achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals by increased use and understanding of statistics and other information about social, economic and environmental development at local, national and global levels.

Fernanda Drumond is the Head of Operations at Gapminder. She holds a Master of Science degree in Development Studies, with background in International Relations. Fernanda likes to lecture about Dollar Street, showing how people really live across different income levels. She also talks about the mega misconceptions that skew people’s worldview in lectures and workshops to companies, universities, schools and non-profits.

In this episode, we talk about the possible consequences of having wrong ideas about progress and the current state of the world; the pros and cons of Big Data; a pragmatic attitude vs an ideological one in solving problems; if Gapminder could back up the effective altruism movement from a moral standpoint; the role of media in giving people a much more pessimistic and negative view of reality than it really is; how most problems stem from nature, and it is society that solves them; History as not being cyclic; the problem with predictions coming from specialists and activists; time and progress from a human perspective; and a perspective on climate change.

A Gapminder Foundation é uma organização não-governamental com base em Estocolmo, Suécia, que promove o desenvolvimento global sustentável dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do Milénio das Nações Unidas, através do aumento do uso e compreensão de estatísticas e outros tipos de informação sobre o desenvolvimento social, económico e ambiental a nível local, nacional e global.

A Fernanda Drumond é a Chefe de Operações da Gapminder. Tem um Mestrado em Estudos do Desenvolvimento/Estudos Sobre Desenvolvimento, com background em Relações Internacionais. A Fernanda gosta de dar palestras sobre o Dollar Street, mostrando como as pessoas vivem verdadeiramente em diferentes níveis de rendimento. Ela também gosta de falar sobre como grandes equívocos moldam a visão do mundo que as pessoas têm, em palestras e workshops dirigidos a empresas, universidades, escolhas e organizações sem fins lucrativos.

Neste episódio, falamos sobre as possíveis consequências de ter ideias erradas acerca do progresso e do estado atual do mundo; os prós e contras da Big Data; atitude pragmática vs atitude ideológica na resolução de problemas; a possível relação da Gapminder com o movimento do altruísmo efetivo; o papel dos media em criar uma visão muito mais pessimista e negativa da realidade do que realmente é; como a maior parte dos problemas deriva da natureza, e é a sociedade que os soluciona; a História não é cíclica; o problema com as previsões de especialistas e ativistas; tempo e progresso de uma perspetiva humana; e uma perspetiva sobre alterações climáticas.

Dr. Bo Winegard is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Marietta College. He generally approaches psychological puzzles from an evolutionary perspective, applying Darwin's theory of natural selection to the human mind. He focuses mostly on status, group differences, individual differences, bias, methods, and political psychology. He’s also the cohost, together with Cory Clark, of the Psyphilopod podcast.

In this episode, we talk about the study of group differences in Psychology. We also discuss the importance of acknowledging the impact of liberal political biases in psychological research, and even research in the social sciences at large, and science denialism by people from both sides of the political spectrum. Toward the end, we discuss some issues in Evolutionary Psychology, like trying to reconcile research on human universals and a panhuman nature perspective with intergroup and interindividual variation, and the strawman arguments drawn against Evolutionary Psychology, and also the way it gets misrepresented in Sex and Gender textbooks.

Dr. Anthony Biglan is a Senior Scientist at Oregon Research Institute and the Co-Director of the Promise Neighborhood Research Consortium. He has been conducting research on the development and prevention of child and adolescent problem behavior for the past several decades. His work has included studies of the risk and protective factors associated with tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use; high-risk sexual behavior; and antisocial behavior. He and colleagues at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences published a book summarizing the epidemiology, cost, etiology, prevention, and treatment of youth with multiple problems, called Helping Adolescents at Risk (2004). He is a former president of the Society for Prevention Research. He was a member of the Institute of Medicine Committee on Prevention. He’s also the author of The Nurture Effect: How the Science of Human Behavior Can Improve Our Lives and Our World.

In this episode, we focus on some of the main topics of Dr. Biglan’s book, The Nurture Effect. We refer to the role of evolution in the behavioral sciences, and to aspects of the environment from families to schools and societies, and the negative effects of coercive environments. We also discuss specifically addictive behaviors involving tobacco, alcohol and drugs, risky sexual behavior, and anti-social behavior. In the latter part of the interview, we also talk about cultural evolution, psychological flexibility, and their relationship to the development of nurturing socities.
