This short clip is an excerpt from a tv serie titled : "Discovering Psychology", hosted by Philip Zimbardo.

This episode is described as follow :

"It looks at the process and elements of interpreting reality. It explores the power of cognitive control, the Pygmalion effect, the development of prejudice, and how expectations affect behaviors like performance and compliance".

If you like psychology, as one of the ways to understanding yourself, people and the society, you will definitely enjoy this episode - along with another one (The Power of The Situation) - which you can find in their entirety in my torrent uploads.

===========

As a side note, Allah (swt) states in the Quran that the difference of our languages and skin colors, is just another sign from him to encourage us to ponder on The Wonders of Creation :

"And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and colors; most surely there are signs in this for the learned. (Quran 30:22)

  • This is an interesting experiment showing the effects of prejudice and how incredibly rapidly these attitude changes can take hold of their perception of people.
