Sitting With Uncertainty
Hidden Brain About this episode
<p>It can sometimes be exciting when we don't know what's coming next. Other times, the unknown can be deeply troubling. This week, we talk with researcher <a href="https://www.udel.edu/faculty-staff/experts/dannagal-young/">Dannagal Goldthwaite Young</a> about how we respond to uncertainty, and why this psychological trait plays a surprisingly large role in shaping our behavior, perspectives — even our political beliefs. </p><p><i>If you'd like to learn more about the intersection between psychology and our political views, check out these other Hidden Brain episodes: </i></p><p><a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/moral-combat/"><i>Moral Combat</i></a></p><p><a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/not-at-the-dinner-table/"><i>US 2.0: Not at the Dinner Table</i></a></p><p><a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/us-2-0-what-we-have-in-common/"><i>US 2.0: What We Have in Common </i></a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
