Can Anger Make Me More Vulnerable to Misinformation?!

from Study Buddies Hosted by Paola Sanchez and Taylor Collins

Let’s be honest – we all get angry sometimes (or …a lot of times), but how does anger affect us? In what ways might this emotional state impact our memory? Well it turns out that Michael Greenstein, Ph. D. at Framingham State University, wanted to investigate this and joins us this week to offer some insight into his work. Evidence might suggest anger gets a little primal and works to streamline our thoughts – but are they reliable? Tune in to hear why they don’t call it anGRR for nothin’. The 2020 study from the Journal of Experimental Psychology that we chat about today is called, "Anger Increases Susceptibility to Misinformation" by Michael Greenstein and Nancy Franklin.
