  5. What is psychology? Myth #1: Psychology is just common sense.

  6. Myth #1 • “Of course that’s true!” • “Why do people even waste their time researching stuff that’s just common sense?!” • Let’s look at some research…

  7. Can they both be true?

  8. Attraction…what does research say? University of Iowa People tend to marry those who are similar in attitudes, religion, and values. It appears that similarity in personality that appears to be more important in having a happy marriage.

  9. Hindsight bias Sometimes just asking people how and why they felt or acted as they did can sometimes be misleading. Common sense describes what HAS happened, not what WILL happen. “I knew it all along phenomenon” *The tendency to believe, after learning an outcome, that one would have foreseen it.

  10. “Hindsight is 20/20” Hurricane Katrina (2005)

  11. Michael Brown, former Federal Emergency Management Agency director, recalled his feelings from the day before Katrina hit: “I knew in my gut this was the bad one”

  12. The limits of common sense Just because something seems like it should be true does not necessarily mean it is. • Psychomythology: misconceptions, urban legends, mythology, and misinformation about psychology • Psychology: the scientific STUDY of mental processes and behavior Researchers take some of our guesses about human behavior and test them scientifically. • Would you deliver potentially fatal shocks to a stranger just because an authority figure told you to? • What does your common sense tell you?

  13. Obedience to authority How far will we go to follow the orders of an authority figure? Stanley Milgram • One of the most famous and widely recognized psychological studies (Yale University; 1963). • Raised the ethics of using humans in research. • Wanted to understand WWII atrocities.

  14. Methods • Imagine you and another participant arrive at a laboratory for an experiment called "The Effects of Punishment on Learning." • After being greeted by an experimenter, he randomly assigns you to be the "teacher" and the other participant to be the "learner." • The learner is led to another room and hooked up to a shock machine.

  15. Mr. Wallace

  16. Methods • The teacher reads a list of word pairs (Example: “clear” goes with “air.”). • If the answer is wrong, the learner receives a shock. • With each mistake, you move to the next lever administering a more intense shock (begins at 15 volts, increases by 15v each lever to 450v).

  17. The procedure VoltageLearner responseExperimenter response 75 grunts 1. Please continue 120 shouts in pain 2. The experiment requires you to continue. 150 says he refuses to continue 3. It is absolutely essential that you continue. 200 blood-curdling screams 4. You have no other choice but to continue. 300 refuses to answer, heart condition 330+ silence

  18. What would you do? Prediction: Average estimate was 1.2% to 450 volts; average estimated response was 135 volts. Results: • 26 out of 40 (65%) went to 450 volts. • The “learner” is a confederate of the experimenter. Everything is scripted. NO real shocks are administered.

  20. Obedience, now & then… ABC News: “What would you do?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwqNP9HRy7Y Replication of Milgram’s research

  21. Reversing the process: positive social influence Zimbardo (www.lucifereffect.com) makes some suggestions: • Teaching children to disobey unjust authority. • Promoting critical thinking that challenges false ideologies and bad means to good ends. • Encouraging respect for human diversity and appreciating human variability.
