5 Forbidden Topics That Psychology Won’t Discuss - Cory Clark - #665

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Cory Clark. She's an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, a social psychologist and an author. Academia is supposed to be a bastion of intellectual purity where curiosity and truth reign supreme. But what happens when the findings of research start to become inconvenient? What happens when conclusions may be scientifically accurate, but politically incorrect? Expect to learn what happens when you conduct a study on self-centership in academic psychology and get reported for it? Whether pervasive misogyny is actually a myth? Why there is such an apparent anti-female bias? How women have fundamentally changed the culture of academia? Whether men are psychologically different because of the patriarchy? Which two areas of psychology are the most hated by academics? And much more. Had a real difficult time titling this episode because it goes absolutely everywhere. Cory is very interesting in this study that she has done on self-centership amongst every psychology professor in the United States got invited to do it is so interesting and so telling. And the two topics that come up as the most cancelable and the most despicable are two that I talk about all the time on this podcast I'm not really too sure what that says about me anyway loads and loads of interesting stuff today I really really hope that you enjoyed this one.
