Welcome back study buddies! Hopefully you're not feeling too socially anxious this week because we're excited be joined by study author, Samantha Berg, who shares her thoughts on the results! We wonder if gender roles evolutionarily have impacted how empathy has been shaped. Paola may have an obscure idea to try that might reverse these impacts... or at least satisfy her cravings for a sandwich. Taylor optimistically speculates that maybe we can reframe social anxiety as a superpower or a skill on our resumes (wouldn't that be nice?!).
As to the word recall mental block at 20:25 **PLAINTIFF!!**
This week's episode is about a 2020 study called, "Higher Social Anxiety Severity Predicts Better Cognitive Empathy Performance in Women But Not Men" by Samantha K. Berg, Jeffrey S. Bedwell, and Robert D. Dvorak. You can find the study here: https://doi.org/10.1177/0033294120965496
