The 6 Dangerous People Psychology Says You Must AvoidUploaded 05-10-26In this video we break down six of these people and the research behind each one: the common-enemy friend (Jennifer Bosson), the spiral partner (Amanda Rose's work on co-rumination), the warm underminer (Michelle Duffy), the permanent victim (Rahav Gabay and Arie Nadler), the anchor (the Michelangelo phenomenon from Stephen Drigotas and Caryl Rusbult), and the quiet scorekeeper (Abraham Tesser and Jonathan Smith). You'll also get three practical principles for protecting yourself without turning cold, and a rip current image that changes how you see all of it.Which of the six did you recognize first?
