Synopsis
Season 2 Episode 51: The Trio on Dunbar’s Number Welcome to Tea, Toast and Trivia. Thank you for listening in. Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. What better time than today to discussion the idea of friendship? I am joined by my mother, Frances, and my sister, Sarah, to consider Dunbar’s number, which is a theoretical limit to the number of people with whom any individual can sustain a stable or meaningful social relationship. This term was first proposed in the 1990’s by Robin Dunbar, a British anthropologist and psychologist. The number that is suggested is 150 people. Does Dunbar’s number signify friendship? How do we define friendship? Is friendship the same as a stable or meaningful social relationship? We invite you to put the kettle on and add to the conversation. We would love to hear your thoughts on TeaToastTrivia.com I am your host Rebecca Budd and I am looking forward to sharing this moment with you.
