With Halloween only being a few days away, I wanted to take this opportunity to understand the psychology behind this massive holiday. Of course, you could argue that there's no social psychology behind Halloween but actually there is research and quite a few arguments explaining that Halloween has a massive social function in modern, western society. Therefore, in this social psychology podcast episode, you'll learn why is Halloween important, what are the social functions of Halloween and more. If you enjoy learning about applied psychology, social psychology and more then this is a brilliant episode for you.
In the psychology news section, you'll learn why you should make more intuitive decisions, what imaginary societies can tell us about wealth redistribution, and how online identity can help in the face of memory loss.
