Allergies and anxiety; imposter syndrome; recognising dog expressions
Claudia Hammond examines the psychological impact of living with a severe food allergy; why fraudulent feelings of "imposter syndrome" are more widespread than we realised.
There鈥檚 a growing number of children with severe allergies to peanuts and other foods. Parents and children themselves have to learn not only to cope with the physical risks but mental health issues that severe food allergies can bring. Rebecca Knibb, Associate Professor of Psychology from Aston University discusses how the psychological impacts are being addressed which until now have been slow to be recognised.
Imposter syndrome is the feeling that you shouldn鈥檛 really be allowed to do what you鈥檙e doing and that eventually everyone else will realise that. And new research shows that it鈥檚 more widespread than we thought. Claudia Hammond discusses fraudulent feelings with Professor Richard Gardner from the University of Nevada, who鈥檚 done this new research and Dr Steve Nimmo, Editor of the Journal Occupational Medicine.
How good at humans at recognising their dog鈥檚 emotions? Is it something we can all do or something you have to learn? Federica Amici from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig has published new research on this little studied area, that could help reduce problems when human-hound encounters go wrong.
