Good videos, with context.

Distinguish an explanatory framework from a cultural essay

Psychology & behavior videos

Psychology videos in this archive include university teaching, documentaries and personal reflection. Choosing the genre first helps you avoid treating an eloquent account of modern life as evidence from a psychological experiment.

Biological context or the meaning of status?

Sapolsky’s course introduction suits viewers who want to organize several possible explanations of behavior before choosing one. De Botton’s Status Anxiety offers a cultural and philosophical treatment of how people judge success. The documentary may help you recognize a question in your own experience; that recognition does not establish how common a mechanism is. Compare the kinds of evidence each format could supply, rather than asking which speaker tells the more relatable story.

Questions to take into the video

A cultural documentary is not a clinical assessment or a controlled study. Avoid using either selection to diagnose another person’s motives or mental health.
