Step into "The Social Lens" with host Beatrice Goodwin, as we expose one of the most powerful forces shaping human connection: social judgment. In this thought-provoking episode, we break down how snap judgments, stereotypes, and group biases silently control our perceptions, influence relationships, and even distort reality itself. From the halo effect to tribal thinking, from parenting critiques to workplace discrimination, this Skoob Podcast reveals how deeply judgment runs through every corner of our daily lives.

Learn how attractiveness bias, implicit bias, and social anxiety form mental prisons we don’t even realize we’re trapped in. Plus, explore how our judgments of others often reflect our own fears and insecurities more than the truth.
