The show is taking a little break for the holidays. No new episode this month, but keep an eye out for a fresh one in early January!

Really worth a listen.

New episode! @minzlicht.bsky.social is back and fired up about citation diversity staments. We discuss the much-criticised Nature Reviews Psychology editorial encouraging authors to include them in their articles, as well as Mickey's very problematic beer tastes. share.fireside.fm/episode/Ah1O...

Very cool episode on IA & empathy with key take away message: more honest and clear distinction between methodological problems of IA studies and fears about perverse effects of extension of IA in our lives

So happy to see back again on regular basis the best social science podcast couple ever 😍

In advanced seminars, I use the „Is psychology evidence ready?“ debate to discuss what psych can REALLY contribute to managing societal crises. For prep, students skim the van Bavel paper, read the IJzerman response and listen to the debate episode on @fourbeerspod.bsky.social. Works really well!

Two Psychologists Four Beers Episode 122: When to Quit (with Paul Bloom) Paul Bloom takes over the show to interview Yoel about loss of faith: when to give up on a theory, and which of his own findings he no longer believes.

New episode!

interviews Yoel about when to give up on a theory, and which of his own findings he no longer believes. But it's not all doom and gloom! We also talk about findings we think are solid, and, of course, Sydney Sweeney. share.fireside.fm/episode/Ah1O...

Beginning at around 51:30 -- "pretty extreme skepticism" among anonymously surveyed psychologists about microaggression training...

Very interesting episode about challenges replicating multiple randomly sampled studies from "the big journals" and what psychologist think about replication practices.

Two Psychologists Four Beers Episode 119: The Future of DEI in Higher Ed (with Amori Mikami) It's been a tumultuous time for DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) efforts in higher education. Whether due to political pressure, internal dissension, or both, many prominent institutions are rev...

New episode! UBC's Amori Mikami rejoins the show to talk to Yoel about DEI. Many prominent universities are rethinking DEI policies that once seemed unquestionable. So what is the future of DEI in higher ed, and what should it be? share.fireside.fm/episode/Ah1O...

This podcast episode so perfectly illustrates how preregistration allows others to evaluate the severity of a test. Authors opportunistically deviate. The analyses are clearly not reliable. Now we can see. Preregistration delivers on it promise. Even when - maybe especially when - authors deviate.

Two Psychologists Four Beers Episode 118: Do We Have a Purity Problem? (with David Pizarro) Moral psychologist David Pizarro joins the show to talk about "purity." When moral psychologists ask people about their judgments of sex with chickens, smearing yourself with cat feces, and sibling in...

New episode! David Pizarro (@peez.bsky.social) joins the show to talk about the concept of "purity" in moral psychology. Is there really a unified psychology of handwashing, pet-eating, and baby Jesus buttplugs, or is purity just a chimera? share.fireside.fm/episode/Ah1O...

Better late than never, it’s out! share.fireside.fm/episode/Ah1O...

What's Wrong with Living in a Bubble? (with Mickey Inzlicht) Podcastaflevering · Two Psychologists Four Beers · 04-12-2024 · 1u 12m

Enjoyed this conversation of @yoelinbar.net and @minzlicht.bsky.social on Bluesky as a political bubble. One glance at #FIFA confirms their stance. Only variations of the same opinion about Saudi Arabia as the World Cup host.

New episode! Mickey returns to talk about the 2024 election, Bluesky, and his crusade against yard signs. We discuss prediction markets, Democratic declines with non-college voters, and whether Bluesky is a left-wing bubble (and if so, if that's a problem). share.fireside.fm/episode/Ah1O...

Link to the podcast because they also have an account: @fourbeerspod.bsky.social

I'd highly recommend it. I sometimes get annoyed at what I'd consider a somewhat unfair/imbalanced treatment of certain progressive views, but it's always an interesting listen.
