Psychology calls it authority bias: even if you disagree with Cyril Ramaphosa politically or criticise his leadership every day, your brain still recognises him as thee President of South Africa—the country’s highest constitutional office. His title alone carries a charming psychological weight most of us cannot resist😭
It is also known as the aura of status: social hierarchies often dictate how our brains react when we meet a powerful or famous person in real life😬
