Stereotypes, social identities, and belonging with Dr. Jay Van Bavel

Allison continues her series on belonging, talking to Dr. Jay Van Bavel about social identities, stereotypes, and exploring the truth behind our deep need to belong. How do we identify with others? What groups do feel safe with and which ones are considered threats? These are all questions that are important to our lives, our views on the world around us and our own views about our ourselves. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:Social identitiesPolitical identitiesThe impact of feeling excludedAre our thoughts really autonomous?The "7 Days Adventists" experimentStereotypes: a double-edged swordTIMESTAMPS:[00:03:40] Influence of social groups.[00:06:38] Social identity concept explained.[00:11:08] The power of social groups.[00:13:58] Political partisanship and biological predisposition.[00:17:24] The power of linguistics.[00:20:43] Cult-like dynamics in organizations.[00:22:49] False beliefs in cults.[00:27:35] Stereotyping in the political realm.[00:29:15] Finding common ground for interaction.[00:32:10] Stinky clothes experiment.[00:36:15] Psychological safety in teams.[00:39:25] Political identity affecting beliefs.[00:41:55] Thanksgiving dinner polarization impact.[00:46:37] The Power of Us.GUESTS LINKS:Dr. Jay's websiteThe Power of Us bookFollow Dr. Jay on Twitter Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.
