The Psychology of Hazing

Theory of cognitive dissonance says people are doing self perception, meaning understanding themselves the same way that they're understanding other people. So based on someone's actions, you're going to infer who they are and so this was a problem because it was like, there's actually nothing necessarily super cognitive going on in your body. And from seeing what you do, you're like, oh, I guess I like that. Or I guess I didn't like that."
