Social Psychology
case studies and experiments
A number of revealing case studies and experiments in Social Psychology are detailed on our pages.
These psychology experiments include Soloman Asch and colleagues on Conformity, Hastorf and Cantril's rather disturbing
reportage about the selective perception of a football game contested between Dartmouth Indians and Princeton Tigers, Stanley Milgram
on Obedience to Authority, Muzafer Sherif and colleagues Robber's Cave Experiment and Henri Tajfel and colleagues decidedly perplexing
findings about Intergroup Discrimination.
The more mainstream psychology experiments that are featured on our site include:-
Human Psychology
It is widely known that Plato, pupil of and close friend to Socrates, accepted that Human
Beings have a " Tripartite Soul " where individual Human Psychology is composed of three aspects -
Wisdom-Rationality, Spirited-Will and Appetite-Desire.
What is less widely appreciated is that such major World Faiths as Christianity, Islam,
Hinduism and Buddhism see "Spirituality" as being relative to "Desire" and to "Wrath".
