    Does Attractiveness equal Intelligence?!

    When you think of your dream partner, what qualities do you imagine they have? Smart? Good sense of humor? 10/10 on the hottie scale?! Well, could you pick this ideal trifecta of a human out from a crowd merely by looks? This week, we’re bringing you a Tinder-esque study that we’re both admittedly interested in participating in… Our personal trait preferences in an ideal mate may change from the initial swipe right to the first IRL date. Is the dating app hottie wearing glasses and holding a book that you just matched with actually intelligent? Funny? Or are they just hot?! Our objective perceptions of people might not be totally accurate enough to equate attractiveness to intelligence or vice versa. Listen in for this study's perception-altering results! The study we're talking about today is called "Intelligence can be detected but is not found attractive in videos and live interactions" by Julie C. Driebe, Morgan J. Sidari, Michael Dufner, Juliane M. von der Heiden, Paul C. Bürkner, Lars Penke, Brendan P. Zietsch, and Ruben C. Arslan. Want to read more about the study?

    Passing Notes: Self-Control Affects Loneliness?!

    Still feeling lonely? Well, we’re back with a Passing Notes episodes, and this week, we’re unpacking last week’s study on loneliness and self-control. We’re sharing some of our own *sad* experiences with feeling lonely and how it connects to our personal views on self-regulation. This study helped us reflect on a new perspective of self-control—especially when it entails an effect on loneliness and ostracization. How does the idea of “self-control” differ among gender? Among different populations? How can we shift the narrative of self-control expectations in order to consider the lives of commonly ostracized groups and individuals? How can this awareness help us all feel less lonely?! HOW?! This study is called “Low Self-Control: A Hidden Cause of Loneliness?” by Olga Stravrova, Dongning Ren and Tila Pronk.

    PS: BS in the Workplace?!

    Hey there, study buddies! This week, we’re bringing back the topic of workplace BS and are so excited to be joined by study author Ian McCarthy. Ian shares with us the motivations and insights behind the study, including the importance of sniffing out the BS and uncovering truth, finding out how BS levels differ among workplace environments and cultures, and understanding when BS might actually be helpful. He also shares how this study’s findings impacted his own day-to-day life, and how distinguishing the difference between b******t and lying can affect the world—especially the workplace— at large. It’s hard not to give in to some BS from time to time, but perhaps we can handle the stench with a little awareness and discernment. The study we’re talking about today is “This Place is Full of It: Towards an Organizational B******t Perception Scale” by Caitlin Ferreira, David Hannah, Ian McCarthy, Leland Pitt and Sarah Lord Ferguson.

    Self-Control Affects Loneliness?!

    If you’ve been around the past year and a half (which, if not, where have you been?!), you’ve probably felt the effects of the pandemic’s mandated social distancing and self-isolation. We know we sure have; we’ve been feelin’ pretty darn lonely. Loneliness has basically become its own epidemic as we’ve sheltered ourselves apart from physical interactions and connections. But can some instances of loneliness be caused by our own degree of self-regulation? On this episode of Study Buddies, we’re talking all about loneliness and self-control. What causes us to feel lonely? How does self-control (or lack thereof) influence feelings of loneliness? Is Akon’s song “Lonely” more relevant now than it was in 2004?! Join us as we delve into this incredibly humbling study! The study we've brought in today is called “Low Self-Control: A Hidden Cause of Loneliness?” by Olga Stravrova, Dongning Ren and Tila Pronk.

    Passing Notes: Conspiracy Theorists Aren't Critical Thinkers?!

    Welcome back, study buddies! Last week, we shined a light on the deceptions of conspiracy theories and the essential role that critical thinking skills plays in distinguishing truth from myth. On this Passing Notes episode, we’re continuing our discussion on conspiracy theories and critical thinking, sharing our own experiences and confrontations with conspiracies, and how dangerous they can be in a world often teeming with misinformation. What effect does this misinformation have on us? How do we discern between our own personal or collective beliefs and conspiracy? Do we actually love AP English and the critical thinking skills it taught us?! Tune in to find out! The study we’re talking about today is “Maybe a free thinker but not a critical one: High conspiracy belief is associated with low critical thinking ability” by Anthony Lantian, Virginie Bagneux, Sylvain Delouvée, Nicolas Gauvrit.

    Conspiracy Theorists Aren't Critical Thinkers?!

    Oh, conspiracy theories—the source of some truly harmful misinformation infiltrating the minds of many in our society. From Pizzagate to “hollow/flat Earth,’’ Bigfoot’s existence to the Moon being made of cheese (yes, a rather immature yet well-known childhood conspiracy, right?), the prevalence of these deceptions and those who believe them seems to be ever-growing. This week, we’re unpacking the science behind conspiracy theories and their relation to, or lack thereof, critical thinking. How do scientists define conspiracy theories? Why are humans so easily roped into following and believing such seemingly absurd theories?! This episode is surely bound to debunk some conspiracies about conspiracy theories. The study we’re talking about today is “Maybe a free thinker but not a critical one: High conspiracy belief is associated with low critical thinking ability” by Anthony Lantian, Virginie Bagneux, Sylvain Delouvée, Nicolas Gauvrit.

    Passing Notes: BS in the Workplace?!

    This week’s Passing Notes episode is all about BS; workplace BS, that is. We’re getting down to the "smelly" nitty gritty of the super relevant study we brought to you last week, sharing our own workplace BS experiences, examining our own reactions and responses to the BS, and exploring the deeper issues (a.k.a. MacroRoni & Cheese) that BS brings to workplace environments and beyond.  The study we’re talking about today is “This Place is Full of It: Towards an Organizational B******t Perception Scale” by Caitlin Ferreira, David Hannah, Ian McCarthy, Leland Pitt and Sarah Lord Ferguson.
