Deep dives
The Benjamin Franklin Effect
The podcast episode discusses the Benjamin Franklin Effect, a psychological phenomenon where performing a favor or being kind to someone can change your attitude towards them. It is explained that this effect occurs because our attitudes are shaped by observing our own behavior. When we perform a kind act, we unconsciously explain our behavior to ourselves in a pleasing way, leading to a change in our attitudes towards the person we were kind to. The Benjamin Franklin Effect is supported by experiments where people rate those they were kind to more highly than those they were rude to.
