• Satanic panic revisited: 35 years of learning with Dr. Randy Paterson

  It has been more than 30 years since the Satanic Panic gripped popular culture. Millions were convinced there was an epidemic of child abuse stemming from satanic beliefs and rituals. There was no evidence to support these claims. There were TV specials, arrests, prosecutions, and even convictions - all based on something that never happened. Dr Randy Paterson joins Mind Full to look back at this phenomenon. He draws a parallel to today's QAnon beliefs, and points out psychology's role not only in explaining the panic in retrospect, but in fueling the flames in the first place.

• Is my dog angry or scared? Psychology and animal behaviour with Hannah Burrows

  In this week's edition of People I Think You Should Meet on the Mind Full podcast, we talk to Hannah Burrows, a Master's psychology student specializing in animal behaviour. Specifically, the relationship between dogs and people.

• Celebrate EVERYTHING with Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman

  Every time we get to celebrate something, we’re a little happier as a result. A promotion, a birthday, an unusually warm and sunny day in January. The fact is, there are hundreds of reasons for a celebration, but for some reason we don’t lean into them all. Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman has a radical idea – let’s celebrate EVERYTHING!

• A virtual reality tour of a residential school with Dr. Iloradanon Efimoff and Dr. Katherine Starzyk

  Dr. Katherine Starzyk and Dr. Iloradanon Efimoff created a virtual reality tour of a residential school. They collaborated with Survivors and computer scientists to see if a tour in this manner could change attitudes toward residential schools and reconciliation. Did it work? Well...kind of. But that doesn't mean the study wasn't worth doing! On today's episode we discuss what they learned and how even disappointing results move science and understanding forward. Can a virtual reality residential school, developed with Survivors, improve empathy toward Indigenous people?

• The psychology of anti-trans legislation with Dr. Alison Phillips and Julia Standefer

  We’ve spoken on Mind Full before about anti-trans legislation, and the push to sideline the scientists doing work in the sex and gender space. But we’ve always done so from a Canadian perspective. We were curious to know how American psychologists are feeling at the moment. Dr. Alison Phillips and Julia Standefer, researchers at Iowa State University, tell us about their current situation and their recent article. Conversation article ‘The psychology behind anti-trans legislation: How cognitive biases shape thoughts and policy’: https://theconversation.com/the-psychology-behind-anti-trans-legislation-how-cognitive-biases-shape-thoughts-and-policy-251691
