Benedict Arnold: Heroism and the Stanford Prison Experiment Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

Hello Great Minds! It's time for "A Twist of Psych!"
Shari and I try to figure out the Psychology behind the Great Mind, as well as why Benedict Arnold betrayed his nation, if this made him a bad guy, and how this stress might have impacted the Patriots that he betrayed.
Again, is he the greatest hero of the Revolutionary War Era, or is he nothing more than the American Judas?
Key Topics: Philip Zimbardo, Stanford Prison Experiment, Lucifer Effect, Benedict Arnold, Attribution Theory, Evolutionary Perspective
