I’m a little disturbed with much of the social commentary around money of late.Europe, Jeb Bush and Michael Moore are all attacking capitalism, CNBC’s American Greed is in its fourth season and the infamous movie Wall Streethas its sequel debut next month. The subtext in all this is money is bad… even evil.
Let’s remember the full text: For the love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10)—not money itself.
People (certain few) are the evil ones. Remember, money is nothing but dirty pieces of paper with dead presidents on them. People are the ones who attach emotions, feelings and perplexing behaviors to it.
I have found that money only makes us more of whom we already were, but couldn’t afford to exercise. If you are caring, generous and compassionate, with money now you can...

This confirmed what I suspected--I am an addict. It was shown in a fascinating bit of research which could even diverge into a discussion of ethics and animal research.
One quote: "Inside their little brains, the junk-food eating rats developed a big problem. Just like drug takers, the rats needed a bigger fix of junk food over time to maintain their pleasure. So they kept on eating, and kept on getting fatter. As the scientists explained in their paper, "extended access to palatable high-fat food can induce addiction-like deficits in brain reward function," which...

I was doing some research on intelligence and, of course, went to the TED web site. While researching, I came across a fascinating talk (no surprises there) about gaming as a tool to improve the world.
This idea intrigued me so I began watching a game designer, Jane McGonigal talk about the qualities that gamers possess and how they could possibly turn their enthusiasm, focus, and optimism form the virtual world and somehow translate that into the real world. Fascinating--worth the 15 minutes.
For the record, I am not a gamer, but many of my students are and were also intrigued by her ideas. Additionally, one could argue that it takes a great deal of psychological knowledge to make a satisfying gaming experience. In fact, one could use the video as a point of analysis for psychological concepts (that are mentioned, but not by name). Again, great stuff.

During that time, I have used a variety of texts, including Exploring Psychology, Psychology and You, Exploring Psychology, multiple editions of the Myers Psychology text, Ludy Benjamin's intro text from the mid-90s and the second edition of the Wade and Tavris text. I currently use the Dennis Coon text Psychology: A Journey as my regular psychology text and his college text for my current AP course.

In the last few months, Gerry Palmer introduced a new product to the line of PsychKit.com games and activities; a set of inversion goggles. These glasses literally "turn the world upside down" for the viewer, use only one 4" prism. This design makes for a larger field of vision than the older two prism models.
Students can have fun trying to write their name, pick up an object or draw a picture using the goggles. The inversion goggles work perfectly when covering how the lens in the eye inverts the image.
A student in the AP Psychology class at Pinkerton Academy of Derry, NH has posted a short (1:38) YouTube video of someone wearing a set of inversion goggles trying fairly unsuccessfully to write her name on a white board at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpKEHEuJ2oQ It should be noted, the goggles in the video are not from PsychKits, but instead made by Jim Matiya who for many many years was the main supplier of both displacement and inversion goggles for teachers around the...
