Grrr… feedback
Grrr… feedback
In Learning Lab ‘Grrr... feedback’ we look at why it can be so annoying to receive feedback. We all have a social brain, which makes rejection hurt both literally and figuratively. In response, our primal instincts kick in. We investigate how these are expressed in the 21st century.
Feedback can sometimes be scary or even hurtful. And that is logical if you look at our past. We humans are social animals. We have always lived in groups and not without reason. To protect ourselves from danger, to find food and especially at birth, we needed each other.
“In other words, the better we were in the group, the higher our chances of survival.”
And that’s why even today we are wired to ‘belong’. In this Learning Lab, we look at why our social brain sometimes makes receiving feedback difficult and how we can get around this mechanism.
