The trait of extroversion-introversion is probably the most recognizable personality characteristic for members of the general public. As a result, there are many common stereotypes and biases about this core personality construct. Many see extroversion as advantageous because extroverts are friendly, outgoing, and sociable. In fact, these beliefs about this particular personality trait have become part of our everyday language (“He’s the life of the party — a real extrovert!” “I’ve got to go home and recharge because I’m an introvert.”). Is one better than the other? In the research literature, there is some limited evidence of an extroversion advantage.…

If you’re terrified of making mistakes, you’re likely a perfectionist. While many accept mistakes as a key part of growth, perfectionists tend to form a deep sense of meaning around them, which may or may not be true. For example, if I make a mistake on a test, that must mean I’m not brilliant. Or, if I have a bad game, that must mean I’ll never become a great basketball player. In perfectionism, mistakes speak to one’s essence (which is overgeneralized), revealing how flawed or rotten it is. Fundamentally, then, it feels as though one is either great or isn’t.…

Fans are clamoring for the return of Matthew Lillard’s character, Stu Macher, in Scream 7. In the realm of the Scream universe, it is not impossible. The actor himself has always said his character was never confirmed dead, and he had always hoped for a return in the saga. In the past, writer and director Kevin Williamson originally told fans Stu Macher was definitely dead. However, Lillard reveals that may not be true citing a phone call he received from the creator. “When he asked me, I was like, ‘I thought you didn’t want me in the film,’” Lillard recalled.…

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the strange relationship we have with mental health diagnoses. We reach for them when we’re trying to make sense of ourselves, and often find relief from giving a name to our experience. But too easily, these labels and definitions can become identities. A clear diagnosis can be life-changing. An accurate diagnosis can be life-saving. But I think acceptance of these labels and their positive aspects should live alongside healthy skepticism of the diagnostic system itself. Considering diagnoses within the sociocultural context in which they’re derived can help us avoid turning these tools into…

The traditional museum experience, pausing in front of an object, and absorbing its history visually or by reading its description, has long shaped how collectors and others relate to cultural treasures. Yet, over the last few decades, digital technology has quietly rewritten many of those rules, changing not only how collections are exhibited but also how they are documented, preserved, and even inherited. Virtual museums, including fully online projects such as the Kremer Collection, now offer an alternative way to share and safeguard art and collectibles without relying on conventional brick-and-mortar buildings. An Alternative to the Traditional A virtual museum…
