The apparent flashmob event which Annette (I think) pointed us to was
actually a joyous T-Mobile ( British cell phone company) commercial
staged at the Liverpool train station on January 15, 2009 with 400

This is an embarrassing question for a developmental person to have to ask, but
can anyone confirm the pronunciation of K. Warner Schaie's last name?
Thanks much.

One example would be the entitlement attitude of students today and the

Authority is not a quality one person has, in the sense that he has property
or physical qualities. Authority refers to an interpersonal relation in which
one person looks upon another as somebody superior to him. -

In reading responses to this blog post I note that one person calls it all
opinion. This further suggests to me that the general public really doesn't
understand psychological research nor the citation format of the paragraph.

I'm not an expert on Risk Assessment, but it would seem to me that when
people were considering the riskiness of traveling by car versus by air,
they would have been likely to consider that (after September 11) there
had recently been four commercial flights in which all passengers had
been

I always wrestle with the idea that these statistics may be comparing apples
to oranges, in a way. It might make more sense to compare the risks of
being in a car crash with the risks of being in a plane crash. Then compare
what your chances of surviving a car crash are with the chances of your
The short-term probability calculation is an interesting consideration.
However, the relative risk of air travel compared to travel by
automobile is consistently in favor of air travel as the safer option.
Nevertheless, people consistently prefer travel by car as the safer
option.
Much of this
Annette,
I, of course, agree with you that the general public really doesn't
understand psychological research. But I also think you are being
unrealistic in the level of discourse you expect from a blog's comments
section. Calling something opinion is not merely an error. It is a
rhetorical
I think there could be some other factors operating in this overestimation of
the danger of air travel. First, everyone travels in cars all the time and we
have long ago become habituated to the danger (which doesn't actually bode well
for the safety of car travel but does explain why it feels

I'm not sure I understand your point. Generalzied breakdown
relative to what? The Reagan years?
A colleague and I (both just a little bit older) have been talking about some
of the points that Mike P. raised in his reply to this thread. We both were in
high school and starting college in the late 60's to early 70's (Ok, I'm a few
years older) and remember just how self-obsessed the
I agree with Rick that there are two aspects to this calculation

is irrational. The personal base rate of driving relative to
flying would suggest that driving is a safer activity in that we

Isn't this just a classic case of Tversky Kahneman's availability
heuristic? Everyone can retrieve stories of horrific air crashes, mainly
because so many people die at one instant and the national media gives
them saturation coverage. It is much harder to retrieive specific

So, this has absolutely nothing to do with teaching psychology, but you

Well, it wouldn't change my opinion.
No one, I believe, should receive $742,006.40 bonus after taxes.
If that is the bonus, what was his salary!!!???
And, whatever his salary was, he thinks he earned it because the areas he
was involved with made lots of money.
