Turns out that we don't know how much we don't know about the way the world works. This week's show takes on the Illusion of Explanatory Depth (one of our favorite concepts in psychology). @rebeccamcinroy @abmarkman @KUTNews

Even if you could eliminate bias from your decisions, you might still make bad decisions because of the amount of randomness out there. We discussed this on a recent show. @abmarkman @rebeccamcinroy @KUTNews

@josh1_51 @ViewsNBrews @KUT @dhiott So, you don't want to remove the word "sorry" from the language, because apologizing can be very effective. It just has to be done right. (END)

[2 Guys on Your Head @2GoYH]

@josh1_51 @ViewsNBrews @KUT @dhiott Finally, there are situations in which you apologize, lay out the consequences of your action and own them, and then discuss how you will act differently in the future. Those apologies help to rebuild trust (though future actions will still matter). (3/N)

Is the slippery slope a real thing? As with every difficult question in psychology, the answer is "it depends." We address this topic on this week's show. @rebeccamcinroy @KUTNews @abmarkman

When we talk about empathy, used embodied language like "Walk a mile in someone else's shoes." Is that just a metaphor? It looks like it may not just be a metaphor. Check out our discussion in this week's show. @abmarkman @rebeccamcinroy @KUTNews
