Ep 160: How to Spend Your Money and Truly Make Yourself Happy

(over 22,000 downloads)

We think money will bring happiness, but research in the area of
positive psychology has consistently found that having more money does
NOT make us happier. Find out how to spend your money the right way so
that it really can bring happiness into your life.

Ep 165 (video): Psychological Research Under Fire: What Can We Do About It?

(19,000+ downloads)

What's going on with Psychology? There have been a number of reports
about poorly conducted or completely fraudulent research in the field
such as this one that appeared in the New York Times. Well, there's bad
research in all fields, but psychology, which has through its history
struggled for scientific credibility, is particularly sensitive to this
issue and many psychologists have come out with strong recommendations
to make sure that our research is of the highest quality.

In this episode I look at how research can be conducted poorly and what
to watch out for when you either conduct or read about the results of
research.

Ep 155: On Cuddling, Baths, Google, Body Language and Phantom Cell Phone
Vibration - Psych Files Brief #2

(22,200+ downloads)

Is cuddling good - especially for men - in marriage? Do baths make you
feel less lonely, is Google really making you stupid, how does your
body language affect your feelings, and....is that your cell phone
vibrating? In this 2nd Psych Files brief I take a look at some of the
more interesting psychological research circling around the web this
past month.

How Do You Change Your Behavior? Interview with Scott Milford - Episode 152

(25,000+ downloads)

How does Behavior Modification work? Find out in this episode as I
interview Scott Milford, author of the Behavior and Motivation website.
If you're about how to apply Psychology to everyday life then this is
the guy to show you how he does it. In this episode we talk about how
to get kids to practice the piano, but you'll quickly see how this
approach could be applied to all kinds of other life challenges. Scott
developed his approach over many years of working with young people
both at the piano and with at-risk adolescents in school. See how
Psychology can be put to work!

Ep 158: Tired of Low Grades? 5 Ways to Raise Your Test Scores (and 1
Warning!)

(21,000+ downloads)

Don't be frustrated with low grades. If you study RIGHT you will get
good grades. What does that mean to study right? How do you improve
your study skills?
I've got 5 techniques that will help you get better grades, develop
effective study skills, and I'll give you one very important warning
about something you may be doing that you have to stop! Find out how to
improve your college study skills.

Borderline Personality: What is it? Could Your Cell Phone Help Deal With It?

(24,500+ downloads)

Borderline Personality Disorder is a difficult disorder to understand
and treat. Briefly, people who suffer from BPD tend to have a
heightened sensitivity to rejection. When they feel that they are being
rejected they can react with strong feelings of anger. Their emotions
can be very intense and vary widely during the day. This can also make
their relationships very unstable. They can also be very impulsive.
However, a recent fascinating piece of research used a mobile device
and what's called an "experience sampling" technique to gain further
insight into what it is like to have BPD. In this episode I discuss
that research and then wonder what else we might be able to learn as
our mobile devices become even more powerful.

Why a Tiger Mom Approach to Parenting Does NOT Work: Episode 145

(25,500+ downloads)

Feeling guilty about not being a Tiger Mom (or Dad)? Let me give you 3
reasons why you don't have to feel that way. Get yourself ready for the
next time that someone says that you (or parents in general) have to be
tougher on our kids.

Episode 142: How To Make Jobs More Satisfying and Motivating

(23,000+ downloads)

Do you have a dull job? Wonder how it can be made more motivating?
That's the challenge - how can we make jobs that are typically not much
fun (like an assembly line job) more interesting to do? There is a lot
of research on this important topic (check out The Five Drivers of
Happiness at Work for example from the Wall Street Journal). This is
one of the challenges facing I/O psychologists and in this episode I
discuss the Job Characteristics theory by Hackman and Oldham and apply
it to assembly line jobs in China where your iPhone is made and where a
record number of suicides have occurred over the past few years. Can we
use job redesign to make such jobs more tolerable?

Episode 138: Zombies - 6 Reasons Why We Are So Fascinated By Them?

(24,900+ downloads)

Afraid of zombies? Heard about the coming zombie apocalypse? Have you
watched the TV show The Walking Dead or ever seen a movie about Zombies
(perhaps Zombieland or Dawn of the Dead)? What is so fascinating about
the undead? Why do many of us get a strange pleasure out of seeing a
zombie get killed? In this episode I explore that strange part of
ourselves which seems to enjoy watching the undead get really dead.

Episode 140: Psychoanalyzing Jack Lalanne

(23,000+ downloads)

In this episode I put Jack Lalanne "on the couch". I take selections
from several of his videos and see what they reveal about his
personality. He was clearly passionate about exercise, but what drove
this passion? What was his underlying motivation? I suggest that his
relationship with his father was crucial to his passion for exercise
and fitness. Join me as I do a little armchair psychoanalysis of Jack
Lalanne.

Simmons, J.P., Nelson, L.D. & Simonsohn, U. (2011). False-Positive
Psychology: Undisclosed Flexibility in Data Collection and Analysis
Allows Presenting Anything as Significant.

Simmons et. al Requirements for Authors

1. Authors should decide the rule for terminating data collection
before data collection begins and report this rule in the article
2. Authors must collect at least 20 observations per cell or else
provide a compelling cost-of-data-collection justification
3. Authors must list all variables collected in a study
4. Authors must report all experimental conditions including failed
manipulations
5. If observations are eliminated, authors must also report what the
statistical results are if those observations are included
6. If an analysis includes a covariate authors must report the
statistical results of the analysis without the covariate.

Psychology Rife with Inaccurate Research Findings

psychologytodayNovember 16, 2011 12:02:34 AM EST

The case of a Dutch psychologist who fabricated experiments out of
whole cloth for at least a decade is shining a spotlight on systemic
flaws in the reporting of psychological research.

Diederik Stapel, a well-known and widely published psychologist in the
Netherlands, routinely falsified data and made up entire experiments,
according to an investigative committee.

Ep 164: What's So Disgusting About Poop?

Posted on: November 4th, 2011 by Michael No Comments

Podcast: Download

Just about everyone finds poop disgusting right? So who finds it not so
disgusting? Would you believe women in their 20s who are in the middle
of their menstrual cycle, and who have motherhood as one of their goals
in life? Disgust has become quite a popular topic in psychology lately.
Join me as I discuss one of the more interesting studies that looks at
how the intensity of our emotions can be affected by our nonconscious
goals. More interesting than you might think really. And certainly not
to be poo-pooed at...

Ep 163: Psych Files Brief #4: Animals Smiling, Yogurt De-Stressing, and the
Psychology of Success

Posted on: October 21st, 2011 by Michael 2 Comments

Podcast: Download

Do animals smile? Do they feel emotions and if so how many kinds of
feelings do they share with us? In this episode we also take a look at
the probiotics in yogurt - how do they affect your thinking and do they
might help protect you from stress. It turns out that these probiotics
increase the production of the neurotransmitter GABA which helps quiet
down your neurons. I also talk about the work of female psychologists:
Carol Dweck on the psychology of success, and and a tribute to Evelyn
Hooker whose research helped in removing homosexuality from the DSM in
1973.

Creativity and "There I Fixed It" site

Posted on: September 1st, 2011 by Michael 3 Comments

Functional Fixedness

When people have trouble coming up with alternative uses for everyday
objects - or trouble thinking of everyday objects in new ways - we
refer to that in psychology as "functional fixedness". Creative people
don't tend to have this problem. Creative folks allow their minds to be
"unbound" and to see things in different ways.

A good example of this are the pictures you'll find on the There I
Fixed It website. The pictures on this site are sometimes referred to
as "fails", "redneck repairs", or "white trash repairs", but I think of
them as excellent examples of creativity from people with low
functional fixedness. Here are some examples:

Enter your search keyword(s) and the keyword "zorgium" into the search input field of http://bing.com, http://yahoo.com or http://google.com.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
