Ep 03: Mentalism: Is it Delaying Justice?

Beautiful Humans: The Social ChangeCast

In this episode, we discuss mentalism, its cultural impact, and it the possibility of its role in systemic oppression. We detail the use of mentalism in social justice by reviewing literature that discusses Fundamental Attribution Error and the Pygmalion Effect. Tune in to hear how we humans view other people’s behavior, especially those from marginalized groups. We hope that you enjoy the conversation, as much as we enjoyed recording it!
