February 24, 2023 18:59 - 28 minutes - 26 MBThis week's mini-episode is about the famous doll study conducted by Mamie Phipps Clark and her husband, Kenneth Bancroft Clark. In comparison to the other experiments I have covered, this one is so well done and didn't inherently traumatize all the participants!
