n this episode, we speak with social psychologist Dr. Ulrich Klocke about stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination, and about effective ways to reduce them. We discuss how these phenomena work and what consequences they have. Dr. Klocke also gives a detailed account of his research on anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, particularly in schools.
In this episode, we talk with Prof. Fritz Günther about how language shapes our thinking. Together, we discuss the psychological perspective on language research, the role of swear words, the approach of computational modeling, and the use of large language models.

“Menschlich” (German for “human”) is a student-run psychology podcast from Berlin. We discuss current research from all areas of psychology and ask what it has to do with our everyday lives. We regularly invite guests from academia and talk with them about what lies behind the findings.
Most of our episodes are in German for now, but English episodes are coming soon.
We are Maria Saryusz-Wolska, Tara Liese, Adriana Gerstner, Neele Paschke and Malte Cox, and we study psychology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. We developed the idea for this podcast as part of the Fachschaftsinitiative Psychologie, the student council initiative of our department. Elisabeth Trommler also contributed during the initial phase and the development of the concept. We handle concept, research, recording and production ourselves, so we are always learning.
We sincerely thank the CMS and the Tonstudio Adlershof, as well as the podcast studio at the Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum, for giving us the opportunity to record and produce our episodes.
