Full Length Lecture: 2017 Personality 17: Biology and Traits: Agreeableness

Jordan Bernt Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. His main areas of study are the psychology of religious and ideological belief, and the assessment and improvement of personality and performance.
He earned a degree in political science in 1982 and a degree in psychology in 1984, both from the University of Alberta, and his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from McGill University in 1991. He remained at McGill as a post-doctoral fellow for two years before moving to Massachusetts, where he worked as an assistant and an associate professor in the psychology department at Harvard University. In 1997, he moved to the University of Toronto as a full professor.

Dr. Jordan B Peterson has been a dishwasher, gas jockey, bartender, short-order cook, beekeeper, oil derrick bit re-tipper, plywood mill labourer and railway line worker. He’s taught mythology to lawyers, doctors and businessmen, consulted for the UN Secretary General’s High Level Panel on Sustainable Development, helped his clinical clients manage depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and schizophrenia, served as an advisor to senior partners of major Canadian law firms, identified thousands of promising entrepreneurs on six different continents, and lectured extensively in North America and Europe.

He has flown a hammer-head roll in a carbon-fiber stunt plane, piloted a mahogany racing sailboat around Alcatraz Island, explored an Arizona meteorite crater with a group of astronauts, built a Native American Long-House on the upper floor of his Toronto home, and been inducted into the coastal Pacific Kwakwaka’wakw tribe.

With his students and colleagues, Dr. Peterson has published more than a hundred scientific papers, transforming the modern understanding of personality, and revolutionized the psychology of religion with his now-classic book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief. As a Harvard professor, he was nominated for the prestigious Levinson Teaching Prize, and is regarded by his current University of Toronto students as one of three truly life-changing teachers.

My great grandmother once told me "Never hit a women, but you can sure as hell hit her back".

[ironclad]

Jordan Peterson is brilliant. The content stands on its own without the childish clickbait title. You get a thumb down for that.

[kion]

shoudnt hit anyone but if someone attacks you you can defend your self, even if it is a woman (no special case)

[iangregg]

How is the title at all related to the video smh

[tadficuscactus]

I had to stop hitting a woman just to watch this video.

[Mr_Big_Lou]

Most physically weak men are sensible enough to not go around provoking fights they know they can't win. It's only women who do this foolishness. I've heard multiple women bragging about how they once beat a man in a fight. No honey, he just didn't want to hit you back.

[Dr-Shlomo-Cohen]

Like Bill burr said: "don't tell me there are no reasons to hit a woman. You should just never do it"

[patrickx]

If a woman hits a man just because she's pissed, that man should just cut ties with her and never contact her again just because most of society frowns upon a man fighting back to a woman. No excuses for unnecessarily violence. I saw some of my friends take hits from women and they just took it. It was sad.

2:09 "kangaroos do that too... *eh*." a true Canadian

[EmperorsNewWardrobe]

Feel free to amend this:

Don’t hit anyone unless it’s to hit them back, whether a man or woman. If someone is hitting you, the ideal is to restrain them but if you do hit back, others don’t have grounds to judge.

"We're not the only animals that punch, Kangaroo do that too ay" - Jordan Peterson a true Canadian hero

[Slanghappy]

"An infant under 9 months is never wrong!" Should be on t-shirts.

[jerrodbates]

i believe women deserve rights.... and lefts!!!

[AwoudeX]

I'm disappointed at Peterson here when he misses the simple fact that it hurts incredibly to be deemed worthy to be punched by the person who claims to love you. The physical pain, if any, will heal, but crossing that line requires a level of contempt that a relation often cannot endure.

[janeyann]

When our cat had kittens, she retracted her claws and didn't scratch people any more.  She was usually a tough hunting cat.

[danbark]

and this is why wrestling your loved one is important

[LymanJohnsonWork]

I keep clicking on the most provocatively titled Jordan Peterson clips and it's always him calmly and reasonably saying something almost entirely unrelated to the title.

Edit: This comment did not age well! I'll leave it up for posterity anyway.

[kaseybrown]

No one should hit each other. Men and women *BOTH* should learn how to understand and express their emotions, communicate to each other, then walk away if they simply can't remain civil over a disagreement.

Jordan Peterson: Would I Ever Hit A Kangaroo?

[overcamehim]

It's wrong for anyone to physically abuse another being. People kill each other in wars and that is sad but torture in time of war is wrong. According to law, one should meet force with the force that is needed to stop the attack. So, if a woman attacks a man, he is within the law to subdue her aggression. Any additional force beyond that would constitute assault.
