Psychology 9e Chapter 1 Notes

Chapter 1: Thinking Critically with Psychological Science The Need for Psychological Science Underestimate perils of intuition Hindsight bias Finding that something has happened makes it seem inevitable Hindsight bias: the tendency to believe after learning an outcome, that one would have foreseen it. (Also known as the I-knew-it-all-along phenomenon.) Errors in recollections and explanations show why we need psychological research Just asking people how and why they felt/acted can be misleading-not because common sense is usually wrong, but b/c it more easily described what has happened than what will happen It has been observed in various countries among both children and adults Would be surprising if many of psych?s findings had not been foreseen b/c we all watch behavior

Team Leader/ Secretary- Andrew Arguez / Julian Paper Writer- Yousef Ahmad Presentation Organizer- Andrew Arguez Data Analyzer- Yousef Ahmad Other Members- Zack T. / Andrew Fritz / Eric Redden AP Psychology Mrs. Alston 13 September 2011 Research Project Proposal Is a person that is disabled, is it less likely for healthy people to become irritated with them? We believe that if someone is disabled then it likely that normal, healthy people will be less irritated with them if they perform obnoxious acts, because they feel pity for the disabled person. The method of research that we plan on using is experimental. We need subjects to be unaware of the experiment taking place in order to get real results instead of fake ones.
