Lying as a Survival Advantage; Social Camouflage and the Amygdala Response
Manage episode 414678347 series 3493930
Ep 66. Explore the psychology behind dishonesty and ethical boundaries. Learn about the conditioning effects of lying, its implications in different contexts like business and studies, and reflect on the influence of internal and external factors.
Dishonesty can become a learned skill, making it easier to engage in when there’s perceived survival or personal gain. Whether it’s splitting gains for a larger share or rationalizing unethical actions in business contexts, the allure of material benefits often drives deceptive behavior.
In more extreme cases, studies have shown how individuals may comply with harmful actions under authority figures' influence, revealing our susceptibility to external pressures. While no physical harm occurred in controlled experiments involving electric shocks, the willingness to administer potentially lethal shocks highlights ethical vulnerabilities.
Reflecting on these insights prompts deeper consideration of our moral compass and susceptibility to influence—both internal and external. There’s much to ponder about the complexities of human behavior and ethical decision-making. Walk Well.
