Description

At the height of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, the Association for Psychological Science joined countless other organizations around the world in turning to podcasts to share findings and conversations. The result is Under the Cortex, which now celebrates 100 episodes in which psychological scientists help us understand some of their most interesting and impactful new research. This special episode is a bit of a greatest hits compilation, featuring clips from six of our favorite episodes to date.
Dan McAdams provides a skeptical deep dive on the Myers Briggs test. 
Mary Frances O'Connor discusses what happens in the grieving brain.
APS's Charles Blue and Ludmila Nunes debunk some common myths of psychological science. 
Nathan Cheek explores some of the unintended negative consequences of restricting freedoms. 
Eiko Fried makes the case against the tendency to oversimplify mental health diagnoses.
And Andrew Devendorf examines the bias within the research community against "me-search.”
