Psychology I.R.L

著者: Daniel Allan
  • サマリー

  • Ever wondered why social media is so addictive? Or why we can't seem to do anything about climate change? Or why Snoop Dogg is in every commercial ever?


    Welcome to Psychology I.R.L, the show where we use the power of psychology to explain the chaos of life in the 21st century!


    Each episode involves an accessible deep dive into a particular concept from the history of psychology. Then, we take that concept and use it to explain an aspect of human behaviour in the real world!


    From conditioning to conformity, whether you've studied psychology before or don't know your Freud from your Festinger, Psychology I.R.L has something to offer!


    tldr: it's psych, irl


    This show is written, performed and produced on Noongar Country. I extend my deepest respect to Elders past, present and emerging, and acknowledge the sacred memories, cultures and knowledges they hold. I am honoured to call this Land home, and endeavour to walk alongside my brothers and sisters along the path of Reconciliation.

  • Classical Conditioning (& Why We Buy Stuff We Don't Need)
    2024/09/09

    Ever wondered why hearing your phone notification alone gives you a rush of excitement and/or terror? Or why certain people can't stomach certain foods? Or why Snoop Dogg is in every commercial ever, for no discernible reason?


    Welcome to Psychology I.R.L! Today's episode - Classical Conditioning, and how it can be used in advertising to convince us to buy products we don't need, and often don't even really want.


    Apologies to any Russian listeners I may have at this point in time or any point in the future. Also, yes, I know that 'desireties' isn't a word but language is arbitrary so I can say whatever I want and you can't stop me.


    This show is written, performed and produced by me. Music by Matt Ponio.

  • Operant Conditioning (& Why We're Addicted to Our Phones)
    2024/08/07

    Ever caught yourself doomscrolling your life away? Refreshing the YouTube homepage over and over? Habitually checking your phone like a lovesick peasant awaiting a letter from o'er yonder?


    Welcome to the first episode of Psychology I.R.L! Today, we're taking a look at the concept of operant conditioning - what it is, how it works, and crucially, how it's being used to keep us glued to our screens, swiping our lives away.

  • an introduction, ig
    2024/08/07
    Thank you for checking out my podcast! Or stumbling onto it. Either way, this here is an introduction to what the show is, why I'm making it and what I hope people will get out of it. If you're interested in the show but feel like diving into a 45 minute episode straight away is a bit much, then give this a listen, and hopefully I can sell you on it.
