Welcome to The Psychology of Us with Professor RJ Starr, the podcast that explores the hidden forces shaping human thought, behavior, and society. In this episode, The Psychology of Censorship and Control, we uncover how censorship isn't just about banning books or silencing speech, it’s about shaping minds, controlling narratives, and influencing what people believe is true.
Drawing from psychological theories, real-world case studies, and history, we’ll break down the chilling effect, confirmation bias, and the psychological reactance that fuels resistance to control. Why do people self-censor? How does surveillance manipulate behavior? What makes restricted information even more enticing? From Orwellian tactics to modern media manipulation, this episode explores the deeper psychological mechanisms behind thought control and how to resist them.
Join Professor RJ Starr as we dissect the psychology of free thought, censorship, social pressure, and intellectual resistance; because understanding how control works is the first step in breaking free from it.
