In-person group projects have been virtually non-existent the last few years (thanks, covid). Now that we are back in the classroom, the Selected Topics in Social Psychology Class at Memorial University decided to take on a fun semester-long podcast project where we talk about psychological concepts that interest us. We hope you enjoy listening to our group discussions throughout the episodes of this podcast, maybe you’ll even learn something new.

<p>In this episode of Get (Social) PSYCHED!, Alexa, Rebecca, Yijun, and Zach dive into the tiny lies we tell every day—those “I’m fine,” “Love your haircut,” “HELL YEAH I’m ready” moments we don’t even think about. From radical honesty to social norms, fundamental attribution error, and cultural influences, we explore why white lies happen even though the truth is technically easier to tell. Are they kindness? Conflict avoidance? Emotional strategy? Join us as we unpack the psychology of white lies… and maybe tell a few along the way.</p>

<p>In this episode, Tashuia, Sarah, and Chloe sit down to unpack a hard truth: are we actually loving people, or just doing relationship math in our heads? From dating checklists to scoreboard addiction, the girls break down how modern love has quietly turned into a business deal—especially when social media gets involved. Drawing on real stories and psychological insights, they explore how micro-moments of connection can shift “You owe me” to “What do we need right now?” If you’ve ever caught yourself keeping score, curating your relationship for Instagram, or obsessing over your "ideal partner checklist", this episode will help you rethink what you’re really trading in the exchange rate of love.</p>

<p>Many of us enjoy a good romcom every now and then. But have you ever considered that some of the leads in your favourite romcoms are… super problematic? Like, bordering on stalker problematic? Looking at you, Edward Cullen. On this episode of Get (Social) PSYCHED! your hosts Juli, Morgan, Emma, and Brittney unpack the common portrayal of stalking as romantic and desirable in popular media. Stay tuned as we unpack the psychology behind stalkers, and how the media’s romanticization of this behaviour translates into real life off the screen. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>Check out our <a href="https://medium.com/@mun.socialpsychology/someones-watching-you-how-movies-turned-stalkers-into-hopeless-romantics-b8916284f29e?source=friends_link&sk=38111c05aa0008a3cf8138150b38c490" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">amazing blog</a> for more information <a href="https://medium.com/@mun.socialpsychology/someones-watching-you-how-movies-turned-stalkers-into-hopeless-romantics-b8916284f29e?source=friends_link&sk=38111c05aa0008a3cf8138150b38c490" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">HERE</a>. </p>
