Last year, I had the opportunity to take part in twelve episodes of the television program “Social Experiment” on Omega Channel of Cyprus television as an invited psychologist. The project focuses on exploring human behavior in unconventional and emotionally significant situations, where participants encounter social dilemmas, group influences and personal challenges.
Together with Charis Aristidou and Michalis Terzis, we analyzed participants’ behavioral reactions, discussed underlying mechanisms of interaction, and examined the emotional processes that shape people’s decisions and actions. My role was to provide professional psychological commentary and to illuminate the processes happening “behind the scenes” — aspects that viewers may intuitively sense but not always interpret clearly.
For me, participating in this project was an opportunity to contribute to the popularization of a scientific approach to psychological questions and to help viewers gain a deeper understanding of the patterns of human behavior, as well as to see how psychological knowledge is applied in real-life situations.
Below you can find the episodes featuring my participation in the program.
