No, it's not, though it's better than you might think if you equate polystyrene with Styrofoam. Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, but it's the trapped air that makes it such a good insulator.

Which is a better conductor wood or polystyrene?
Polystyrene is a better insulator. It is often used as insulation on houses.
Styrofoam cups are poor conductors of heat?
Polystyrene is a poor conductor of heat; it is largely used as a thermal insulator.
What would be an example of a good thermal conductor?
Graphene is the best thermal conductor. Any metal or metallic objects such as a frying pan would be a good thermal conductor, including diamond.
What are the methods of thermal insulation?
good thermal insulators include polystyrene, plastic, rubber, and other plastic based materials.
Is a cup a good conductor?
It's not the object that matters, but what it's made of . A metal cup will be a very good conductor, and an expanded polystyrene one a very poor conductor.

What is a good thermal conductor?
steel
Is polystyrene a good thermal insulator?
yes it is because of all the air bubbles in it
A material that is a good thermal conductor would?
A material that is a good thermal conductor would hold in a lot of heat. These thermal conductors would also transfer heat easily.
