This website is all about you and me. It's about understanding how our minds work and why we think and act the way we do. Of course bookshop shelves groan with this sort of material in the self-help section, but this site has one crucial difference with much of that material: PsyBlog focuses on scientific psychology.
Research covered here has been published in reputable academic journals in many different areas of psychology. To give you a flavour there is a series on the
top 10 social psychology studies, the
7 sins of memory and the
psychology of money. You can find more links to articles arranged by theme on the left-hand side of the page under 'Explore...'. Individual popular articles are on the right-hand side.

We get over bad moods much sooner than we predict, thanks to the covert work of the psychological immune system. One of the most incredible things about the human mind is its resilience. Let's face it, life can be pretty depressing at times,and yet people generally push on much the same as they always have, sometimes even with a spring in their step and a smile on their face. How come one day it s...

Why we overestimate the power of our own vote. It might seem like an undemocratic question but it's one that's always plagued me: why do I bother voting? Most people know their own tick in the box is hardly worth it when weighed against the effort involved in getting registered and actually going to vote, let alone when weighed against all the other people voting.Quattrone & Tversky (1984) had...

Can we pull the wool over our own eyes or dowe see through ourmind games? In theory the one person we should never, ever, lie to is ourselves. Surely lying to ourselves is counter-productive? Like calmly and deliberately shooting yourself in the foot or taking a hot toasting fork and plunging it into your eye?
