- The study in which Princeton seminary students
is both a fascinating study and a unique on in many
ways. In this episode of The Psych Files podcast I
review the study and ask the question what makes it
so memorable. Finally, I look at the implications
of the study for modern efforts in character education.

designs: the between subjects and within subjects
approaches. Along the way, concepts such as independent

The
intropsychresources.com newsletter has been created
to keep people updated on resources that are posted
to the introductory psychology wiki site.
The site has been designed to be an organized
holding bin for resources posted by introductory
psychology professors.
Many of the ideas come from the major
psychology list servs.
Anyone may post to the Introductory Psychology
Resources website, however inappropriate or offensive
content will be removed.
There are many great academic resource sites
out there already and I would highly recommend visiting
them. However
since this site has no specific rules or formalities,
it is my hopes that it will compliment other sites
with material that may be a bit less formal, but lots
of fun.
I appreciate all the support that the site
has received and I hope you will share it with your
colleagues, especially adjunct or new professors
who may need ideas.
