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 12th episode, Dr. Dan Lannin has a conversation with Dr. John Pryor, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Illinois State University. John has had a distinguished career studying a host of areas–and notably sexual harassment.
John discusses his research on sexual harassment, and specifically both personality (such as one’s proclivity to engage in such behavior) and environmental factors (such as a leader’s behavior and other social norms) influence whether or not a person will engage in such behavior. He has consulted and/or conducted sexual harassment research for numerous groups, including the National Academy of Sciences, National Institute of Health, and the Department of Defense.
John notes some lessons he’s learned over the course of his research career–looking at actual behaviors, finding a good collaborator, and “following your nose.”
Importantly, in this episode we learn that John would like to have a beer with the late psychologist, Dr. Robert Wicklund.
