PS: Why Do We Gossip?!

Welcome back, study buddies! This week, we’re so excited to be joined by study author Eshin Jolly as he shares his own perspective as to what makes gossip such a hot topic of interest. How does gossip as communication help us learn about other people and the world around us? Tune in to find out just how complex gossip is as a form of human interaction. The study we’re talking about today is “Gossip drives vicarious learning and facilitates social connection” by Eshin Jolly and Luke J. Chang.
