Have you ever gotten into a heated argument about politics? Maybe you’ve said something you're not proud of during game night with friends, or booed the opposing team at a sporting event. Psychologist <a href="https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/people/mina-cikara">Mina Cikara</a> studies what happens in these moments — when our mindset shifts from “you and me” to “us and them.” This week on the show, Mina shares the profound ways that becoming a part of a group shapes our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.If you like this show, be sure to check out our other work, including our <a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/what-we-gain-from-pain/">recent episode</a> exploring whether there's any merit to the idea that "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."Also, check out our new podcast, <a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/myunsunghero/">My Unsung Hero</a>!
