320. Should I break up with my phone?

From abusive MLM’s and wellness programs to doomsday sects and UFO religions, we’re all fascinated by cults. Their mystery offers us a way to explore the darkest recesses of human behaviour, while remaining seemingly out of their reach. But how do we actually define a cult? 

Watch on Netflix: HERE

In this episode, we look at popular examples of cults, understand how they’re organised and recruit followers, and examine what makes some people so vulnerable to joining. We unpack: 

• How a cult is defined, featuring the BITE model of authoritarian control
• What makes cult leaders so distinctive - and dangerous 
• The (often surprising) tactics cults will employ to get people to join 
• How people behave during and in the aftermath of leaving a cult
• Why there are cults all around us today, and people are still drawn to them

464. The psychology of cults 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/74ab8cf4-96a2-4828-a635-b4d6009f246e/transcript

In our 20s, we’re all vulnerable to feeling that we’re falling behind. Whether it be chasing the perfect job, relationship, friends, living situation, trip abroad, or something else, we’re led to believe that there’s a certain window of time that we should be achieving certain milestones within. In this episode, we unpack: 

• Why social media makes us compare ourselves with ‘the best’
• The figures behind what people in their 20s really have - and don’t 
• How milestone anxiety and the social clock make us panic
• How we can reframe envy as a useful compass
• Why life circumstances mean we might have a different ‘starting line’ to other people
• Why you’re not delulu - things really are getting harder!

The Stanford Prison Experiment is one of the most famous studies in psychology, but also one of the most controversial. In this bonus episode, we look at what actually happened in the basement of Stanford University in 1971.

We explore:
The landscape of psychological research at the time of the study
How participants were selected and assigned roles
The theatrical procedure of the study
The unexpected outcomes and why it was stopped early
Ethical lessons around consent and researcher responsibility
Why the study is so influential to our understanding of institutions, power and authority
