Welcome back fellow study buddies to a relaxing episode where Paola and I angrily scream at each other - just kidding. We may not be angry today, but we will be talking about anger - and how it might impact our memory. Taylor shares how this study served as a humbling reminder to watch our confidence in the knowledge we take in while angry, and considers how this might contribute to some dicey political info on social media. Paola wonders if we can use anger to channel our energy to positive change rather than getting wrapped up in the emotion in the moment. And we are delighted again to be joined by Dr. Greenstein who shares about the studies implications for the criminal justice system. ~Tune in~ to hear how anger might make your brain forget to ~tune out~ of fake news!
The 2020 study from the Journal of Experimental Psychology that we chat about today is called, "Anger Increases Susceptibility to Misinformation" by Michael Greenstein and Nancy Franklin. You can find the study here: https://doi.org/10.1027/1618-3169/a000489
