Give Paul Bloom one hour, and he'll teach you "the psychology of everything." Through the case studies of compassion, racism, and sex, Dr. Bloom explores the intrinsic fundamentals of human nature, including some of our most intriguing tendencies, such as the kindness of babies, stereotyping (which can be both detrimental and beneficial), and our universal sense of beauty. Additional topics addressed in the lecture include: "What do studies suggest is the number one characteristic that males and females look for in a mate?", "How can I get someone to have compassion for causes I care about?", "Are we all unconscious racists?", and even, "What do the porn preferences of monkeys tells us about our own sexual choices?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAUL BLOOM:
Paul Bloom is the Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology at Yale University. An internationally recognized expert on the psychology of child development, social reasoning, and morality, he has won numerous awards for his research, writing, and teaching. Bloom’s previous books include Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil and How Pleasure Works: The New Science of Why We Like What We Like, and he has written for Science, Nature, The New York Times, and The New Yorker.

TRANSCRIPT:
Hello, my name is Paul Bloom and I’m a Professor of Psychology at Yale University. And what I want to do today is present a brief introduction to psychology, which is the science of the human mind.
Now, I’m admittedly biased, but I think psychology is the most interesting of all scientific fields. It’s the most interesting because it’s about us. It’s about the most important and intimate aspects of our lives. So psychologists study everything from language, perception, memory, motivation, dreams, love, hate. We study the development of a child. We study mental illnesses like schizophrenia and psychopathy, we study morality, we study happiness.
Now, psychology is such a huge field that it breaks up into different subfields. Some psychologists study neuroscience, which is the study how the brain gives rise to mental life. Others, like me, are Developmental Psychologists. We study what happens to make a baby turn into a child and a child turn into adults. We study what makes a baby turn into a child and a child turn into an adult. We ask questions like, how does a baby think about the world? What do we start off knowing? What do we have to learn?
Other psychologists are Social Psychologists. They study human interaction. What’s the nature of prejudice? How do we persuade one another?
Some Psychologists are Cognitive Psychologists. What that means is they study the mind as a computational device looking particularly at capacities like language, perception, memory, and decision-making. Some Psychologists are Evolutionary Psychologists, which means they’re particularly interested in biological origin of the human mind.
There are Evolutionary Psychologists. Evolutionary Psychologists are particularly interested in the evolutionary origin of our psychologies. So they study the mind with an eye towards how it has evolved. What adaptive problems it’s been constructed to solve.
Finally, there’s clinical psychology. For many people, this is what psychology means. Many people associate psychology with clinical psychology, and in fact, it’s a very important aspect of psychology. Clinical psychologists are interested in the diagnosis that the causes and the treatment of mental disorders, disorders like schizophrenia, depression and anxiety disorders. It would be impossible for me to provide a full spectrum introduction to all of these sub fields of psychology in the time I have.
So what I’m going to do instead is I’m going to focus on three case studies. I’m gong to focus on compassion, racism, and sex. I’ve chosen these case studies for two reasons. First, each of them is particularly interesting in its own light. These are questions we’re interested in as people, as scientists, but also in our every day lives. And I want to try to persuade you that psychologists have some interesting things to say about them.
Second, together they illustrate the range of approaches that psychologists use. The sort of theories that we construct, the sorts of methods we use when approaching a domain. I want to try to give you a feeling for what psychology looks like when we actually carry it out.
The first case study is compassion. Compassion...

Does it not prove that women learn acceptance of other groups easier, is that not my point you're confirming? If you're infering that women are not more accepting due to their own individual enlightenment but group think, and that is your litmus test, then you can't study anything about humans at all because near no one outside of these videos spends time studying themselves in a nietzschien way, the world is not a Jordan Peterson video.

    This was a great video. Thank you for creating it. One of the things holding scientists back from understanding human psychology and what grows healthy loving people vs. what grows psychosis is that we are observing identities or end results rather than observing the interrelationship between these end results. We become the people we are today because of what happened to us in our childhood. The spectrum of different outcomes is as clear as mixing colors. For a while we thought that red, yellow and blue were primary colors. In actuality cyan, magenta, and yellow are. This is similar to psychology. One of the biggest masks to understanding human consciousness is that people try to cover up their faults or at least reduce the actual negative effect of their actions by diluting it with other factors. Children become the kind of adults they are taught to be by those who are in charge of them. Many parents or adults have a hard time admitting that they weren't the best mentors because they tried to be.

    If children become the kind of adults they are taught to be by those who are in charge of them how do you explain the very real outcome of children being the opposite of what their parents are? As in the case of parents that are very free and for lack of a better word hippies and their children grow up to be a clone of Ronald Reagan? lol or parents who are ultra conservative church going republicans and yet their children grow up to be adults who don’t go to church because they say they aren’t religious they’re spiritual and are very much democrats? It’s the phenomenon of children growing up to be the opposite of their parents. Sometimes this happens on a massive scale as it did in the 1960’s and early 70’s in America. In that case the parents were the generation that fought in WWII and then had their children in the late 1940’s and early 50’s. Those parents tended to be rather conservative and yet their children came of age in the mid 1960’s. Those children were about as far left as you could get in that time. They listened to rock and roll not big band/swing and they grew long hair and eschewed flower power and had the summer of love etc. Of course it wasn’t like that for all families but a large portion of them were having that issue. I would very much like to hear a lecture about that phenomenon. How do we as parents raise our children to be more like us, with the same beliefs and political leanings so that we can perpetuate our way of life

    Used to be a psychology addict, but over the years I began to realize it's a field that raises more questions than it answers, and to the extent it can settle anything, the answers are rarely objective, quantifiable and certain at the same time.

    +LCTesla Can you name a field that answers more questions than it raises? Also, what is inherently wrong with any field that raises more questions than answers? That actually says absolutely nothing about the quality or productivity of the field. I can give examples to demonstrate this point, if it isn't obvious why. As far as the answers rarely being objective, that's an entirely generalized thing to suggest. What are you even talking about? Social psychology? Cognitive psychology? Developmental psychology? Evolutionary psychology? Neuroscience? All of psychology? There is a lot of psychology out there, and it helps to specify which particular field has which particular advantages and disadvantages in terms of scientific insights we gain from the, considering it's all different. There are actually studies that suggest psychologists collectively understand and perform science better than those in "hard sciences." The explanation for this is simple: psychology is so difficult to find conclusive results, and the nature of the science is so rigorous, that the experimenter or theoretician MUST be significantly informed in the expertise of the scientific method, otherwise the results will likely be insignificant. Many psychologists aren't experts at the scientific method and fail to produce significant results (which seems to be where your focus is stuck at)--but this is actually true of any field of science, which always includes experimenters and theoreticians who are incompetent. Likewise, many psychologists are experts at the scientific method and produce significantly beneficial insights into the mind and behavior, just like other fields of science do for their own subject. (In short: soft sciences have a tendency to promote better scientists and generally strong science because they obligate them by their very nature. To refuse acknowledging the good science in a field of science because of the bad science in a field of science is to use confirmation bias if one is ridiculing the science as generally subjective and not quantifiable). The more you discredit psychology, the more you risk sharing the view Scientologists have of it. At the end of the day, you can't generalize any science--you can only be specific with advantages and disadvantages any subfield of any subject in science has. Frankly, you didn't do that, and so I can't find your comment being substantially meaningful. Also, big difference in a "psychology addict" and someone who has studied it on at least an academically collegiate level, as far as understanding it goes. This applies to most sciences for most people. E.G., I can find 100 people enthusiastic about physics, but only a small handful will actually know what they're talking about compared to those who have been formally educated in the field. I bet a lot of "physics addicts" have very interesting, yet false, perceptions about physics. Psychology, like most sciences to most Americans, seems unsupported on its surface. That's why it usually takes a higher education just to remotely begin breaking down that barrier and introducing the substance of its foundation. To most Americans, evolution is rarely objective and quantifiable at the same time. Does this mean criticism for evolution is valid, or rather that the mass perception of science is flawed by incompetent education?

    +Qhorin Halfhand The beauty of freedom is that you can feel that way and express it, Qhorin. I'd just like to point out, though, that the only people who would back your claim are scientologists (they believe the brain sciences are pseudosciences--which is quite interesting). If that's a group that seems credible to you and you feel comfortable sharing opinions of scientific criticism with, again, you're free to have such an opinion. I'd just personally feel concerned when my views line up with the actual quackery of scientology. To me, that's a good red flag to begin reevaluating myself. "I think X, but so does scientology... is X really a coherent opinion?" Just some food for thought.

    prygler Psychology of everything would be teaching "all" the psychological perspectives and then applying it to any topic. I have yet to take a psychology course or a lecture that mentions all perspectives, even though I think it can be simplified by talking of the biopsychosocial approach. And I feel like it's the one of the perspectives that is closest to an absolute truth because it takes into account: genetics, emotions and disposition/social norms.

    pradyumna sarkar Interesting point. But they also can be dangerous by taking risks and putting themselves and the mother/child in danger. Also, the bad boy usually demonstrates a psychological instability that can be dangerous. The manifestation of this kind of danger is the abusive husband. And so many women who are in an abusive relationship do not leave it. For various reasons. And by not leaving, they are keeping themselves and their child in a potentially deadly relationship.
