One example often used to illustrate this is a skydiver on her first dive feeling intense fear - followed by intense relief and happiness to have landed safely. The second part of the theory says that the intensity of those emotions wil moderate over time. So, by her 100th skydive, our skydiver will be blase at the start and at the finish.<br /><br />Apply that to the Boyle video. The judges and audience were snickering at her, rolling their eyes and snorting. They followed the fairly strong dismissive reaction with an equally strong, and opposite, reaction to her singing - standing ovations and extravagent praise. <br /><br />I was watching the video with a skilled soprano who noted that she has a nice voice - good tone, some power, but her range is limited. Applying the second part of the opponent-process theory, I predict that our response to her singing will moderate over time. She is not a great singer, but she is a pretty terrific story.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6269955207467686192-2448951642878228449?l=sheatech.net%2Fpsychblog.html'/></div>Mr. Sheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04729891963479277699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269955207467686192.post-88133823929291635932009-01-13T21:57:00.002-05:002009-01-13T22:16:11.517-05:00test<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LVJMhk4oANM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LVJMhk4oANM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6269955207467686192-8813382392929163593?l=sheatech.net%2Fpsychblog.html'/></div>Mr. Sheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04729891963479277699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269955207467686192.post-5902940075166647202008-11-22T20:05:00.003-05:002008-11-22T20:13:43.164-05:00Cleanliness is not next to Godliness?According to a report in <span style="font-style:italic;">The Economist</span>, people who have washed themselves are likely to be more tolerant toward unethical activities.

Typically, the first test of the year is difficult for kids - the average score is usually in the mid-70s. This year the 6th hour had an average score of 85% and the 7th hour averaged 89%. <br /><br />Some of the kids credited their good results to their using the vocabulary practice they got using Quizlet. (Go to <a href="http://www.quizlet.com">Quizlet </a>and search for "Shea." Look for CASA quizlets.)<br /><br />It's a pretty good start. We started the methods unit today.

Each class was given 6 minutes to memorize a list of twenty words (all psychology terms taken from the end of year vocabulary review.) The sixth hour students got two minutes on Tuesday, two on Wednesday and two on Thursday. The seventh hour students got six minutes on Thursday. <br /><br />The hypothsis was that students whose study time was spaced out would remember more words on Friday than those whose study time came in a single chunk. For the second year in a row, the results supported our hypothesis: the first group remembered an average of 11.9 words on Friday; the second group remembered 8.9 words.<br /><br />My suggestion to the students is to apply this to their own study time. Do a little studying every night rather than try to cram for an exam the night before the test.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6269955207467686192-8566274461429703853?l=sheatech.net%2Fpsychblog.html'/></div>Mr. Sheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04729891963479277699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269955207467686192.post-41334271259959134262008-09-04T08:22:00.002-04:002008-09-04T08:25:46.703-04:00First daysImpressions after two days:<br /><br />1.

We do know this much: Governor Palin has supported abstinence-only sex ed in the past and the campaign has said that the daughter will marry the father of the child. Most people have opinions on these topics; let's look at the research, instead, with two questions: Is abstinence-only sex ed effective? and What are common effects of teenge marriage? <br /><br />In both cases, we should keep in mind that human behavior occurs in a large context. Decisions to have sex or to marry occur in the context of one's life. They are affected by family life, peer pressure, moral values, societal values and practices, culture, emotions, hormones. It is difficult to try to tease out one "cause" for any human behavior, but we are confident that a well-designed study can point us in the right direction.<br /><br />The <span style="font-style:italic;">Washington Post </span><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/01/AR2008090102305.html">reports today </a>on a study that concludes that abstinence-only sex ed has no effect on teenagers' decisions to have sex.<br /><br />Here's a link to the study itself: <a href="http://www.mathematica-mpr.com/publications/SearchList.aspx?jumpsrch=yes&txtSearch=abstinence">the study</a>.<br /><br />A quick Google search will provide many more examples of studies on the topic - some positive, others not. A critical thinker of course will evaluate the studies carefully - the samples, the research design, the biases of the researcher. <br /><br />Generally research shows that teenagers who marry will face significant difficulties: lower lifetime earnings, more domestic violence. Again, though, age is not the only important variable. How mature and committed are these two? How much family support will they receive - both emotional and financial? Will they go to college or otherwise learn marketable skills?<br /><br />It won't be easy for the girl to complete her pregnancy in the glare of a natinal political campaign. It is heartening, though, that both campaigns are treating the matter carefully, without demonizing the girl.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6269955207467686192-7697202093976437268?l=sheatech.net%2Fpsychblog.html'/></div>Mr. Sheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04729891963479277699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269955207467686192.post-44085786069847107202008-08-25T13:40:00.003-04:002008-08-25T19:24:38.258-04:00New year is almost hereCASA classes start next week and I'm getting excited about this year.

At my home we have a racoon problem. Racoons in my pleasant suburban neighborhood have been raiding garbage cans for a while, but recently one or more began scraping away at the shingles on our roof, causing rain leaks which damaged our ceiling. It got so bad that we recently reshingled the hourse.<br /><br />I have placed a live animal trap in the yard, near where we store the garbage cans. My hope is that we can humanely capture the critter and release him or her in a more rural area. <br /><br />So far, we have captured the cat from next door and the same possum twice. (I think it's the same possum - I claim no expertise in possum diffentiation, but they look like the same to me.)<br /><br />My prediction is that we won't capture the cat again. Cats are pretty smart and learn quickly. I predict we will capture the possum again. I don't think possums learn as quickly as cats. I think racoons are really smart and I'm not confident we'll ever catch the racoon.<br /><br />I'll keep you posted.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6269955207467686192-3478259292864159035?l=sheatech.net%2Fpsychblog.html'/></div>Mr. Sheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04729891963479277699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269955207467686192.post-65019742674910393512008-08-14T23:39:00.003-04:002008-08-14T23:44:07.497-04:00Good videosHere's a link to the <a href="http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2008/07/14/top-ten-psychology-videos/">Top Ten psychology videos.</a> They are from Psych Central.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6269955207467686192-6501974267491039351?l=sheatech.net%2Fpsychblog.html'/></div>Mr. Sheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04729891963479277699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269955207467686192.post-41984089951671751112008-08-12T23:23:00.002-04:002008-08-12T23:26:52.442-04:00Fun with attentionYou're pretty observant, right?

I was in Canada, near Windsor where my cousins had a summer house on Lake St. Clair. My cousin Bill and I were 11 that summer and both of us were sports nuts. (We invented a way to play baseball with just the two of us.)<br /><br />I have very clear memories of watching the Games live on TV, after midnight. Part of the excitement for us, of course, was staying up really late. Of course, Wilma Rudolph, Rafer Johnson and the rest of the American team were pretty exciting, too. <br /><br />The problem with these memories - vivid, very clear memories - is that they can't possibly be true. For one thing, midnight in Windsor is 6 a.m. in Rome. There probably wasn't a lot of competition at that hour. I have also read recently that the US TV networks flew film of the events to New York, where it would be edited and broadcast. I'm sure the Canadian TV network did something similar. We surely didn't see any events live.<br /><br />So these are constructed memories. (They're not lies - I really remember them, even though I know they didn't happen.) How do we construct such memories?<br /><br />There is much truth to the memories. I did spend a lot of summer weeks at my cousin's summer home; we were sports nuts; we surely would have been excited about the Olympics; the 1960 Games were the first extensively televised in the US (and, I suppose, in Canada.) Somehow, after 48 years, the memories of the 1960 Games have become more exciting, more extreme. <br /><br />Elizabeth Loftus has done a great deal of research on false memories. One of her areas of specialization has been the problem of eyewitnesses at criminal trials who remember things differently from the way they really occurred. It turns out that eyewitness testimony is trials is often wrong, though many of us think it's the best kind of evidence. <a href="http://faculty.washington.edu/eloftus/Articles/sciam.htm"> Here's a link </a>to an article she wrote about some research in which she purposely planted false memories in people's minds. <br /><br />It makes little difference in the world if I remember the summer of 1960 as more exciting than it really was. It makes a big difference if a defendent is sent to prison for a crime someone else committed.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6269955207467686192-5861797277437117230?l=sheatech.net%2Fpsychblog.html'/></div>Mr. Sheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04729891963479277699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269955207467686192.post-5078179038314948872008-07-30T17:29:00.006-04:002008-07-30T23:14:15.421-04:00Another bit of hindsight biasHere is a <a href="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/206241.php">link </a>to a political blog called Talking Points Memo. In this post, Josh Marshall suggests that separate incidents of political advertising by Senator McCain will be seen <span style="font-style:italic;">after the election </span>as parts of a congruent whole, as part of, in Marshall's opinion, a not-very-admirable campaign strategy. During the heat of the campaign the news media, however, do not seem to connect these separate incidents. That is to say, what is not obvious now will seem very clear in hindsight. <br /><br />Marshall's blog is generally described as liberal or left-leaning and you may not agree with his conclusions. For the moment I am more interested in his application of the concept of hindsight bias.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/6269955207467686192-507817903831494887?l=sheatech.net%2Fpsychblog.html'/></div>Mr. Sheahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04729891963479277699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269955207467686192.post-80515798510508451242008-07-27T09:03:00.003-04:002008-07-27T09:21:18.436-04:00RIP Katherine KincadeKatherine Kincade was one of the founders of Twin Oaks, a commune founded in the late 1960s based on the principles of B. F. Skinner. She passed away July 3 at age 77.<br /><br />Skinner was one of the premier behaviorists in 20th Century psychology. The intention behind Twin Oaks was that Skinner's principles of reinforcing desired behavior could be the basis for a successful and harmonious society. Skinner even wrote a novel describing such an ideal society. The book is <span style="font-style:italic;">Walden Two</span>.
