Why Do We Follow Others?

Показать описание
Why do we follow the heard? How do those who don't follow influence others when they are in the minority? In this episode, Why Do We Follow Others? , I discuss why we conform. I also detail the psychological and brain mechanisms of conformity. As a bonus, I include how nonconformists can influence others despite holding the minority perspective.

I’m thinking about making a series on social influence. Would you be interested in me finishing the discussion by adding two additional videos on compliance and obedience respectively? Let me know!

Excellent video, I have made an observation that if you challenge something the herd holds sacred no matter how incorrect it may be, you can be labeled as a troublemaker very quickly.

You have made me a genius in the field of neuroscience, I have watched almost all your videos I am in the 9th grade .
I started to become interested in neuroscience after I watched Lucy but I actually believed that it was true (15% cerebral capacity myth) so since then I have learned a lot and I just want to thank you and tell you are way better than anyone who has taught me. Keep posting!

Every time I come here I learn something about the brain and myself. Excellent video!

Ants are also really good at conformity... their line game is top tier 💯🧐

I know this sounds weird but where did you find that music that was playing in the background? It's in my head now and I must find it!

I'm not a leader. I'm away taking a stroll by myself.

I usually just follow the person yelling the loudest.
no, but seriously I only follow the group when it's in my best interest. Isn't that what everyone does, like, for real?

I’d write something about this one, but I’m afraid you’ll think I’m conforming to having a habit of responding. 😘
