June 12, 2023Why Humans Follow Authority Figures
Building upon our series on the great minds of psychology, we introduce interesting social psychology experiments, including the work of Bandura, Festinger, Tajfel, Weiner and Milgram. Join us for an insightful discussion on how our behavior is influenced by role models, authority figures and group dynamics. We explore:
Social Learning and how role models shape behavior using the “Bobo doll”
Cognitive Dissonance - how we get uncomfortable when performing tasks that are not in alignment with our values
Social Identity Theory - the us v. them mentality and judgments we make on the “out” group
Attribution Theory - where we see the locus of control, either internal or external
Following authority, Milgram’s Shock Experiment and how ordinary people can do harm to others if authority directs them to do so
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead

May 30, 2023Breaking Free of Your Habits
Have you ever tried to change a behavior but fall back into old habits? In this episode, we explore the work of B.F. Skinner who believed behavior was affected by one of three operants. In his book, Beyond Freedom & Dignity (1971), he implied that humans had no free will or individual consciousness. Join us for an interesting discussion on the power of habit and the ability to change, including:
The difference between Classical and Operant Conditioning
How our society uses conditioning to control the masses or manipulate behavior
How social media, dating, work habits and dieting are all influenced by conditioning behavior
Why we disagree with Skinner and that human beings are able to change
What this means for coaching and helping clients change their behavior
