Psychology Life Lessons is a podcast where we listen in on conversations with psychology experts and try to extract life lessons, and maybe a little wisdom.
In this episode, Dr. Dan Lannin has a conversation with Dr. Eric Wesselmann (Illinois State University) and Dr. Jordan LaBouff (University of Maine) — two social psychologists. The conversation starts off with a discussion about the virtue of humility, one of Jordan’s areas of expertise and then moves onto life lessons about social exclusion and psychological flexibility.
Jordan LaBouff is an Associate Professor of Psychology & Honors at the University of Maine where he has worked since receiving his Ph.D. from Baylor University in 2011. He is a social psychologist who focuses on people’s beliefs (religious or otherwise) and their behaviors (from acting humbly, to prejudice and discrimination).

Eric D. Wesselmann, PhD, is a professor of psychology at Illinois State University. He studies the dynamics of social inclusion and exclusion in daily life. He also uses popular culture in teaching psychology, both in the classroom context and on podcasts and convention panels. He is a member of the WGLT Psych Geeks and co-curates film programming and writes a blog for his local independent theater (The Normal Theater; Film CULTure).
