Latest Articles
- Toll of teenage drinking revealed
Source: BBC News
This BBC article looks at the rise in teenage drinking and looks at the need for effective alcohol education in tackling binge-drinking culture.
"Sadly, there is still practically no information publicly available on what is a safe amount of alcohol for children to consume or on how parents can best moderate their children's drinking.
Without a clear message that under-age drunkenness will not be tolerated, we will continue to see the high levels of alcohol bingeing and related violence identified in this study."
- Connections between handwriting and personality are illusory.
Source: PsyBlog
Graphologists have made claims that handwriting can not only determine a person's personality, but can help you select your marraige partner and even decide which applicants are worthy of a loan. This psychology post explains why we shouldn't take such claims seriously.
"Graphology has a combined power of about...wait for it...zero. Well, not quite zero but still very, very small - so small as to be insignificant"
- Zimbardo Speaks
Source: PsychBlog
"Even though Zimbardo is not going to be part of the specs next year he will be an important part of the background of the R&H study so he still wont be far from our thoughts! Even thought his study can (and does) come under massive criticism for ethics and methodological problems (cough - Zimbardo told them to act that way - cough) it is still one of the most well know studies of social psychology (and maybe even Psychology as a whole)."
