Is the glass half full or half empty? It is quite obvious that not everyone sees the glass exactly the same.  Negative and positive views are often formed by how something is described, but research by Dr. Alison Ledgerwood shows that it is a human tendency to get stuck in the negative mindframe. Join us for a discussion about positive and negative mindframes, what research says about them, and tactics for learning to reverse a negative outlook. In an approachable conversation, Dr. Ledgerwood shares about many important, yet incredibly easy, tactics that you can simply apply to your day to improve your positive psychology. This isn’t a magic fix, but the research they conducted does show you can change your mindframe if you work at it. Dr. Ledgerwood also shares about how negativity bias intersects with the psychology of racism, and how we can begin the discussion of overcoming this barrier as well. We hope that you find this to be an encouraging and empowering podcast episode!Key takeawaysA little about herself and the work she doesWhat negativity bias isHow negativity bias shows up in real lifeSome experiments she has done and what she has learned so farWhat the framing effect isHow to shift the mindset from negative to positiveLimitations to the general tendency to focus on the negativeHow you can change the way you thinkEasy ways to change your thinkingThe power of practicing gratitudeWhat resilience isHow individual and collective resilience plays out in the healthcare settingHow to deal with negative emotions accordinglyOther things that can help build resilienceWhy taking a deep breath is beneficialHow negativity bias intersects with systemic racismWhat the out-group homogeneity effect isWays to combat negativity biasLinksGetting Stuck in the Negatives (and How to Get Unstuck) TEDx Talks by Dr. Alison Ledgerwood - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XFLTDQ4JMkAs Well App on Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greencircleinitiatives.aswellAs Well App on the Apple Store - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/as-well/id1491996140BooksThe Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld - https://www.amazon.com/Rabbit-Listened-Cori-Doerrfeld/dp/073522935XDr. Alison Ledgerwood BioDr. Alison Ledgerwood is a professor and Chancellor’s Fellow in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Davis.
