Recommended listening this week
Choiceology – Little bits of happiness
Psychological insight: Really interesting discussion with Sally Millington and Ellen Evers about the concept of ‘hedonic editing’. People often want good experiences to last a long time, but bad ones to be over very quickly? Think of the times when you’ve ripped off an old plaster for example!
Brain fuel – Social marketing
Psychological insight: Ruth Dale has a conversation with Nedra Weinriech about social marketing and how it differs from behavioural science and other related fields. A great introduction to the topic.
Opinion Science – Characters matter
Psychological insight: In this episode, Andy chats to Dr Matt Grizzard about Affective Disposition Theory (ADT). ADT suggests that narratives (such as in a film) are affected by the audience’s moral judgement of the characters.
