Shownotes Transcript

Ever noticed how you act differently when you know someone is watching? In this episode of Mind Theory, we explore the Observer Effect, a phenomenon showing that people, animals, and even atoms change behavior under observation. We’ll discuss how this effect shapes self-perception, influences biases like the actor-observer bias, and affects our understanding of others. Tune in for insights on leveraging the observer effect for self-improvement and gaining a clearer perspective on the world around you.
