Jezebel's Take on "WEIRD" Psych Research
I’m not sure how I feel about some of the conclusions drawn from this overall, but it did bring back some major memories of all the psych studies I participated in as a Sophomore in college. My professor allowed us to add as much as 5 points to our FINAL GRADE (yes I received an A ) if we participated in a certain # of studies.
My personal favorite was “Talk about your body image and what you don’t like about yourself while we film you. This film will be shown to other students in classes without your name attached…( 5 minutes pass ) JUST KIDDING! We weren’t filming you, we were just taking notes about how uncomfortable you were.”
