About this Episode

In this episode, we delve into the idea of character as a frame, drawing from cultural psychology, linguistics, and personal narrative. Exploring the phenomenon of frame switching—how individuals seamlessly shift between social personas depending on cultural context—this video challenges essentialist views of identity. We discuss concepts like code-switching, cultural priming, and contextual personality, unpacking what happens when our selves are triggered, adapted, or performed based on the company we keep. What are the social costs and benefits to character inconsistency?
