S2E05: Your Mind on Motivation, Perception & Biases, with Dr. Yuan Chang Leong

Minds Matter by Beth Fisher and Ava Ma de Sousa

Episode notes

Do we see things the way they really are or do our biases and motivations influence our perception? Dr Yuan Chang Leong discusses his research on how our motivations influence how we see the world. If we are biased to see the world differently to others, can we ever really understand someone with different political beliefs? We discuss why we have these biases at all and how they may help us live better lives.
