Why We Need Other People | Social Interaction Explained | The Wrong People Ep. 14

Why do other people have such a powerful influence on how we think, feel and behave? In Episode 14 of The Wrong People Podcast, we explore the psychology of social interaction — from our fundamental need for connection to social perception, belonging, conformity, cooperation and the subtle ways other people influence our behaviour. We also look at what happens when social connection is limited, why rejection can matter so much to us, and why being around other people can sometimes help us — while at other times changing our behaviour in ways we barely notice. Humans are social creatures. But understanding how other people shape us requires more than simply saying that we are “wired for connection.” 🎙️ The Wrong People Podcast — Episode 14: Social Interaction Psychology is complicated. We make the complexity understandable. #SocialPsychology #Psychology #SocialInteraction #HumanBehaviour #Relationships #Science #TheWrongPeoplePodcast
