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
