interesting Psychology Studies
Today's episode is all about 'Interesting Psychology Studies', where I'll talk through a very diverse range of fascinating experiments, findings and insights which are all about the brain, the human experience, and theorising why we do what we do.
We'll talk through a range of different studies, including very renowned experiments which have been super influential the field of psychology, some neurosciencey brain stuff, a fair amount on social psychology, and then some other studies that are a little weird and quirky.
Some of these studies date back many many decades ago (before ethics was a thing), meaning that experimenters pretty much had free rein to do whatever they wanted to do, which yielded some very interesting results.
Prepare yourself for the following studies:
1. The Stanford Prison Experiment
(Zimbardo et al., 1971)
2. Is Homophobia Associated with Increased Homosexual Arousal?
(Adams, Wright & Lohr, 1996)
3. Is Social Pain like Real Pain?
(An experimental study of shared sensitivity to physical pain and social rejection.
Lieberman et al., 2006)
4. Severed Corpus Callosums
(Series of studies by Roger Sperry, 1959-1968)
5. The Halo Effect
(Nisbett & Wilson, 1977)
6. The Marshmallow Test Experiment
(Mischel, 1972)
7. Missing Cutlery in the Workplace
(The case of the disappearing teaspoons: A longitudinal cohort study of the displacement of teaspoons in an Australian research institute. Lim, Hellard & Aitkin, 2005)
