Pride and Joy
28 January 2021

In the wake of a relatively successful British vaccination programme, we ask what it is to be proud and whether we have any right to bask in the glory of others’ achievements.
In this podcast, we try to define pride, characterise its emotional hue and determine whether it is good or bad. We look at the things we feel proud of (whether individual or group achievements) and try to understand what underlying factors drive pride. Finally, we consider how pride affects decision-making. Quite a good podcast, even if we do say ourselves.
A few things we mentioned in this podcast:
– British diplomat saves student
– Britain is a ‘much better country’ than France, Belgium and the US
– Survey data on nationalism
– Sports fans have higher self-esteem
