    The Mind Yourself Podcast #84 - William Costello "Psychology of Incels"

    Dive into a very interesting conversation with our latest podcast episode featuring researcher William Costello to discuss his extensive research into the community known as Incels which stands for ‘involuntary celibate’. The term describes online community of individuals, predominantly males, who feel they are unable to find a romantic or sexual partner despite wanting one. However, it's crucial to note that not everyone who experiences involuntary celibacy identifies with or is part of this community. In this enlightening episode, Costello provides invaluable insights into the world of Incels, which involves a complex interplay of various factors, including social, psychological, and cultural elements that contribute to the formation and perpetuation of their beliefs and behaviours.  Join us as we navigate the nuances of this pressing issue, exploring the psychological and sociocultural dimensions that shape the Incel community. Discover the thought-provoking perspectives that illuminate this intricate topic, shedding light on the broader implications for society and the ways in which understanding can foster empathy and dialogue.
