Why do we sometimes follow orders without thinking, even when they go against our instincts or better judgment? In this episode of Decision Dynamics, we explore the fascinating world of authority bias—our tendency to defer to authority figures without question.
Through compelling real-world examples and classic psychological experiments like the Milgram study, we uncover how this bias shapes our decisions in everyday life, from the workplace to healthcare and beyond. You'll also learn practical strategies to recognize and counteract authority bias, helping you make more independent and informed choices.
Tune in to discover how to balance respect for expertise with critical thinking, and take control of your decision-making process!
