Event Description
Ever wondered what makes people take revenge?
A team of psychologists at Queen’s University wondered the same thing, and what they discovered fascinated them. This talk will cover revenge’s surprising and hotly disputed evolutionary origins, the role of revenge in films like Gladiator and TV shows like Game of Thrones, and what recent scientific discoveries have revealed about vengeance.
This talk will also cover an exciting new experiment at Queen’s. You might think that anger triggers revenge. But this experiment asked – what if humiliation could trigger it too? Come along to find out what we discovered.
