Show Notes

This episode is the second installment of our two-part series on the Sociology of Cults. If you missed our first episode with Rick Moore, catch it here.

In today’s episode, we strike at the heart of our interests in cults with a talk about group pressures on belief systems with Craig Rawlings of Duke University. Craig recently published “Cognitive Authority and the Constraint of Attitude Change in Groups” in American Sociological Review.
