I LOVE social psychology. If I could I would marry it. Check out these groundbreaking studies. I just finished reading over a hundred pages on cognitive dissonance and it really resonated. I find myself thinking about this idea a lot as it helps to explain lots of human behavior inconsistencies!
* Thanks for the tip, Kottke!
These are great studies Andrea. Thanks for sharing. I think these studies are facinating and I am going to read each one.
The more we know why we behave the way we do, the better behaved we can be. If everyone on the planet had a rigorous study of social psycology, I think there would be a lot more peace in the world.
These studies remind me of a book I read in college called "Influence: The Psycology of Persuasion". Check it out if you haven't already.
AH.com: Yes! That's one of the books I've been reading for my Social Psych and the Legal System class - loved it!
