    Psychology Month: Anxiety, gender, and leadership with Dr. Winny Shen

    There has always been a stereotype that women are "more emotional" than men, and even that they are "too emotional" for leadership roles. Dr. Winny Shen joins Mind Full to discuss the results of her study which suggest that not only is that stereotype untrue, the exact opposite might actually be the case.

  7. Psychology Month: Knowledge mobilization and video interviews with Madeline Springle

    Psychology Month: Knowledge mobilization and video interviews with Madeline Springle

    Madeline Springle is a second-year Ph.D. student at the University of Calgary, who is winning awards for her ability to mobilize knowledge. Specifically, she is taking the research she has done into one-way video interviews, and using it to help people who might use this knowledge to better prepare for their own job search. As we close out Psychology Month, we wanted to highlight knowledge translation (explaining the science for a more general audience) and knowledge mobilization (putting new findings into practice such that they help those they were designed to help) because without those, science exists in a vacuum!
