Ambition, gender roles, deviance... what does it all mean? Join me for a brief overview of my research into the pain many of my guests and listeners face as they express and exercise their ambition. Why is it so hard? What is that sense of disapproval we get from society? What can we do about it?
This this first episode of season 4 I explain what sociologists and scientists have to say (and what they neglect!) in studying ambition. I explain part of Robert Merton's Strain Theory, Alice Eagly's Social Role Theory and how I am fitting new parts together to answer your questions about ambition. This is a high level overview fit for anyone who wants a functional understanding of their experience of being "too much" for other people. You aren't alone!
