In case you missed them – 10 of the best psychology links from the past week.
26 October 2012
1. Times columnist Caitlin Moran has written a moving and poetic account of schizophrenia.
2. 21 words that could help improve the methods-reporting issues in psychology (and here’s the pdf of the forthcoming journal article).
4. BBC Radio 4 broadcast a programme on ear worms – those songs that get stuck in your head – and appropriately enough it’s stuck, I mean available, for another year on iPlayer. (We’ve covered research on ear worms previously).
5. TED posted a new talk by psychologist David Pizarro on the role of disgust in our political views.
6. Learning business management skills from a visit to ape and monkey enclosures (I’m still not sure if this is a spoof of not).
7. The November issue of The Psychologist magazine is online and it includes an article on post-traumatic growth, and an interview with Craig Knight, an expert in workplace design, both open-access.
8. Channel 4 in the UK broadcast a documentary about mass hysteria “The Town That Caught Tourette’s“. It’s not available via their on-demand service, but it is due to be repeated a few times in the coming days. Check the link for listings.
10. From genes to hormone levels, biology may help to shape political behaviour – another excellent (open-access) news feature from Nature.
