Envy and jealousy are emotions many of us experience but rarely discuss openly. The event delves into the psychological and neurological mechanisms behind these intense feelings when confronted with others' success or relationships. Why are they often accompanied by shame, and what is the precise difference between the two emotions? Through the discussion, you will learn to better understand and manage your reactions.
The panel features Katrine Sværke, an authorised psychologist and Ph.D. in neuropsychology from Copenhagen University, and Alfred Sköld, lecturer in psychology at Aalborg University. Line Friis Frederiksen, science journalist, moderates the debate.
The event is part of the University for All's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds and is offered as a free arrangement. Location: Dokk1/Aarhus Main Library.
