Dr. Roger McFillin and Tracy Thurman examine the Milgram obedience experiments, Solomon Asch’s conformity studies, Festinger and Carlsmith’s cognitive dissonance experiment, and Facebook’s massive emotional contagion experiment, breaking down what each reveals about authority, conformity, manipulation, and how easily human behavior can be influenced.
