s I sit down to write this I must confess that
reading today’s news has left me feeling sad and
a little disillusioned. It’s not the latest arrest of
a public figure for sex crimes or even the US pondering
the decision to undertake ‘targeted airstrikes’ against
the Assad administration in Syria that has got to me.
It is the publication of apparently compelling new
evidence to suggest that dolphins are actually neither
intelligent nor even nice. Surely that isn’t possible? As a
starting point, read this article:

The popular view of the dolphin
mind
Most of us have grown up with a perception of dolphins
as lively, intelligent and fun-loving creatures. Dolphin
shows are a popular form of entertainment in many
countries — people pay to watch dolphins in a pool
performing tricks and generally looking cute. Stories
abound about altruistic dolphins that risk their lives
to save other cetaceans (the wider family of aquatic
mammals that includes whales and porpoises) from
danger.
In keeping with this view of dolphins as intelligent
and benevolent, dolphin rights have become a serious
political issue. Earlier this year India was the first
country to declare cetaceans ‘non-human persons’. This

than they did 5 years ago and are much more likely
than at any previous time in their working lives to face
unemployment and insolvency. Critically, we know it,
and as a society we have suffered psychologically.
So, I hear you ask, surely this is an economic
situation? What does it have to do with psychology?
Well, psychologists can offer some insights into how
the recession started. We can also cast some light on
the psychological effects of living in a recession. I’ll
come back to that in the next e-review (March 2014).

What caused the recession?
e are currently going through what has
become known as ‘The Great Recession’,
‘The Lesser Depression’ or ‘The Long
Recession’. These are gloomy titles and they should be.
The current state of the global economy is the second
worst it has been in the last 100 years, the worst being
the Great Depression of the 1930s. If you haven’t come
across that one, it is portrayed well in the Doctor Who
episode ‘Daleks in Manhattan’ (series 3 episode 4).

Effects of the recession
E
ven if you don’t follow politics, you are unlikely to
have missed the fact that we are currently in the
second worst global economic recession of the last
100 years. In the December 2013 e-review I looked at
some of the psychology underlying the causes of the
recession, in particular the possible role of groupthink
and narcissism, and what this can tell us about the debate
over the role of situation and individual disposition in
social behaviour. This e-review focuses on how the
recession has affected us on a psychological level.
Optimism and consumer
behaviour
One of the more obvious things we would expect
to change as the result of an economic recession
is consumer behaviour. In 1930, the economist
Keynes worried that a general lack of optimism was
stopping people from spending in a way that might
have shortened the Great Depression. In the 1950s
recession, American psychologist George Katona (1959)
researched factors affecting consumer behaviour in a
recession and concluded that negative messages from
the media influenced people to be more cautious with
their spending.
This reduced optimism in times of recession has
been confirmed more recently, and it extends beyond
consumer confidence. De Hauw and De Vos (2010)
compared the career and salary expectations of young
people entering the workforce in 2009, a year after the
start of the current recession, with those of a cohort
from 3 years earlier. Compared with the control group,
the recession group had significantly reduced optimism
regarding their social life and work–life balance, though
not necessarily about their finances.
