Ep 197: Using the Word Guy for Women, Robots Helping the Elderly and Supernormal Foods

from Psychology in Everyday Life: The Psych Files · host Michael Britt

Should we stop using "Guys" to refer to groups of women and mixed sex groups?  Why do we (particularly men) refer to many objects - like cars and boats - as "she"?  Are everyday foods actually "SuperNormal" foods - created to be absolutely irresistible and therefore causing us to be overweight?  Is it okay to employ robot to care for our elderly?  And finally, how come the ending of a movie can "ruin the whole thing" if it's not a good ending? After all, you enjoyed most of the movie.  In this episode I try to address these questions.  We'll talk about all these things in this episode of The Psych Files.
