Why You Trusted Elizabeth Holmes: The Dr. Fox Effect
Why do we confuse confidence with competence. In this Dark Psychology documentary, we analyze the billion-dollar deception of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos to expose the Dr. Fox Effect. We go back to the legendary 1970 experiment where an actor fooled a room of psychiatrists to show how charisma can hack the human brain. Discover why you trust the person who looks the part, and why you are biologically wired to follow confident liars.
