RE: Psychology Addict # 50 | Why Good People Do Evil Things?
Hi Abi! Glad to read from you. It was a long time :)
I would be surprised to hear you denying that you have a dark side. In fact, more than surprised, I would be concerned.
I deny having a bright side. Is it a problem? I work on dark matter after all. ;)
Arednt hypothesized that depending on the situation any ordinary Joe can end up behaving in monstrous ways
I was about to mention Milgram…. But you did it later in the post… Damned, for once I had something interesting to say…. I however did not know anything about the Acali experiment. I ma happy to have learned something :)
Denial is always a problem @lemouth! 😃
Yes, it is impossible not think of Milgram within this context. His work is truly that astounding. To this day, every time I find myself revisiting his work on Obedience to Authority I learn something new.
I am so pleased to hear you took some new information away from this post. I know you don't have bags of time. But, I highly recommend the recently released documentary about The Acali, called : The Raft. It unveils fascinating things about human behaviour and how NOT to conduct an experiment! 😆
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and take part in the discussion.
I trust the family is fine. I wish you all a great summer!
I am adding the documentary to the list of things I should go through... But the list is really huge, believe me :D
Now I have to read Milgram's Obedience to Authority!
Somewhere, I read that the sinking of the Titanic was due to obedience to authority. The White Star Line ordered full speed ahead, so Captain Smith obeyed, even though iceberg warnings....
Milgram's obedience study is a very influential and important one in the field of psychology and social sciences. If I was asked: what one psychology study do you recommend me to read I would say this one! Just in case you are pressed for time, I have written a description of it on my blog a couple of years ago. I attempted to make it concise and straight-forward. I hope you manage to get around it. This is the link: Obedience Study
Thank you for stopping by :)
Best,
Abigail
Thanks for the link and all the other information--it takes time to format a post on Steemit, and I appreciate the effort you put into it. )
