It's Not My Fault!

Su questo episodio

<p>It's not easy for most of us to receive negative feedback. Even when the person delivering that feedback is constructive and reasonable, we often feel the urge to defend ourselves. This week, we look at the psychology of defensiveness with neuroscientist <a href="https://www.asc.upenn.edu/people/faculty/emily-falk-phd" rel="noopener noreferrer">Emily Falk.</a> We'll explore what causes so many of us to resist constructive criticism, and how we can get better at giving and receiving such feedback. Then, in the latest installment of our ongoing series "Your Questions Answered," psychologist <a href="https://people.ucd.ie/ciara.greene" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ciara Greene</a> returns to the show to answer your questions about memory and forgetfulness.</p> <p><i>If you have follow-up questions or thoughts for Emily Falk after listening to today’s conversation, and you’d be willing to share with the Hidden Brain audience, please record a voice memo on your phone and email it to us at </i><a href="mailto:ideas@hiddenbrain.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i>ideas@hiddenbrain.org</i></a><i>.
