Module 3 Discussion

Discussion Questions:

Imagine that you are approached by a member of a prominent cult in this country. On his or her invitation, you attend several cult meetings. As a result, you begin to believe that this group has some good ideas, but you still have some doubts about becoming a member. You are asked for a financial contribution, which you give. After several months, you find that you have donated a great deal of time and money to the group. Eventually, without even hearing any new arguments or propaganda, you believe everything the group stands for they can do no wrong. You have become a devout member of the cult. How would a social psychologist explain this phenomenon?
