[tips] Top 10 Reasons Research needed to determine Efficacy
A somewhat dated but still great article is by Beyerstein, Why bogus therapies seem to work. It is an older volume of skeptical inquirer and you can find it here: http://www.csicop.org/SI/show/why_bogus_therapies_seem_to_work/ Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.

[tips] Is bad reporting about psychology research worse than no reporting?
Hi Dan Slater wrote a recent article on evolutionary psychology and dating behavior. See http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/13/opinion/sunday/darwin-was-wrong-about-dating.html It takes (in my view) an extremely simplistic perspective on the area and the comments reveal just how poorly many people think about psychological research (or social science research more generally). Many comments reflect as simplistic a perspective as the author, noting (quite rightly) possible limitations of the described research (e.g., being based on Western participants) and theories as described (e.g., evolution accounts for everything). One certainly does not expect lay readers to be knowledgeable about areas of research, but it is disturbing that many assume the researchers have never thought of and addressed these problems. Buss and Schmitt (who are cited), for example, have studied many different cultures. So you end up with a vicious circle: negative attitudes toward psychological research + poorly written article on an area = even more negative attitudes toward psych research. Is it really true then that there is no such thing as bad publicity? Take care Jim James M.

I'm pretty sure this paper has come up for discussion on this list before, but here it is--it seems relevant to this discussion too. http://www2.psych.ubc.ca/~henrich/pdfs/Weird_People_BBS_final02.pdf On Sun, Jan 13, 2013 at 3:31 PM, Jim Clark j.cl...@uwinnipeg.ca wrote: Hi Dan Slater wrote a recent article on evolutionary psychology and dating behavior.

RE:[tips] Top 10 Reasons Research needed to determine Efficacy
Hi Thanks Scott, Gary, and Annette for the great help. Here's what I ended up with based on your suggestions and some searching around to see what students would find with Google. In the process I came across the nice paper by Joan McCord on Cures that Harm in the area of delinquency prevention. See http://www.unc.edu/~gsmunc/JoanMcCord/CuresThatHarm2003.pdf ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY - ACTIVITY 2 ORIGINS OF FALSE BELIEFS ABOUT TREATMENT EFFICACY Historically and even today, people have unwarranted confidence in the effectiveness (efficacy) of untested treatments for various medical and psychological disorders. Below are some factors that could bias such false beliefs. Select 6 randomly, find an explanation for the bias, and then describe briefly how it could lead to false beliefs about the effectiveness (or lack of effectiveness) of treatment. Submit a brief summary to j.cl...@uwinnipeg.ca with psy3700-02-### in the subject line, where ### is your student number. We will discuss this exercise next Monday in class, including how different biases may be similar. 1. Regression to the Mean 2. Placebo Effect 3. Spontaneous Recovery 4. Misdiagnosis 5. Confounding Variables 6. History as Threat to Validity 7. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy 8. Resentful Demoralization 9. Confirmation Bias 10. Illusory Correlation 11. Selective Memory Failures 12. Demand Characteristics 13. Missing Counterfactual 14. Cognitive Dissonance 15. Maturation as Threat to Validity 16. Availability Heuristic 17. Survivor Bias Thanks again. Take care Jim James M.
