Summary: <p><a href="https://anchor.fm/dashboard/episode/e3e828/metadata/www.alexover.com/podcast" target="_blank">www.alexover.com/podcast</a></p> <p>Hey everyone!</p> <p>Thank you for your patience on waiting for this next episode.</p> <p>Firstly before I dive in, I've used some of my study work based on today's subject around 'Conformity' - which I'll post some reference links below also for you to check out with it! I have even touched base on a little bit of my own experience away from this, which is something I always like to do.</p> <p>The three case studies carried out by Dr Phillip Zimbardo on 'The Stanford Prison Experiment' + Soloman Asch's 'Conformity Experiments' and lastly 'Robbers Cave' by Psychologists Muzafer and Carolyn Sherif. (not sure about Zimbardo's one, as I particularly feel they are so sufficient to today)</p> <p>As stated in the audio, these were particular ones given to me to work more / research on. What I found interesting to these is my thought process on what Conformity mainly meant and also my viewpoints on how Complex this is but also 'How' complex we do make things. The significant part about all of this is learning more about Human Behaviours which I love looking more into, of course.</p> <p>As a viewpoint - it's making me come to the point on how I feel that, if we truly know who we are then conforming can be a choice, which is up for debate but an interesting one.</p> <p>I'll leave you to listen to the rest.</p> <p>See you!</p> <p>References...</p> <p><a href="https://psmag.com/social-justice/philip-zimbardo-revisits-the-stanford-prison-experiment">https://psmag.com/social-justice/philip-zimbardo-revisits-the-stanford-prison-experiment</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.simplypsychology.org/asch-conformity.html">https://www.simplypsychology.org/asch-conformity.html</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.age-of-the-sage.org/psychology/social/sherif_robbers_cave_experiment.html">https://www.age-of-the-sage.org/psychology/social/sherif_robbers_cave_experiment.html</a></p> <p> </p>
