About this episode

The "Batman Effect" study is a fascinating psychological experiment that explores how children's perseverance and task performance improve when they adopt the persona of a capable and admired character like Batman. The Batman Effect works for adults as well, because adopting a third-person or alter ego perspective creates psychological distance, which enhances self-control, resilience, and performance.
