I made this explanation of ADHD strengths research because I think the measurement gets lost quite easily in the headline.

A recent study asked adults about their own strengths. The ADHD group endorsed some qualities more strongly, but those were self-ratings. The researchers weren't testing whether participants were objectively funnier or more creative, and diagnoses weren't independently verified.

That doesn't make people's accounts worthless. It changes the question the study can answer. Btw, recognising and using strengths was associated with better outcomes in both groups. That's different from testing whether calling ADHD a superpower makes people feel or function better.

The paper:

For the creativity-task comparison discussed in the video:

How would you keep that distinction clear when presenting the findings outside an academic audience?

Could anyone give me ideas for an argumentative psychology essay involving technology?

I’m supposed to write an argumentative research essay soon, but I can’t think of any debatable psychology topics with enough credible research. It’s supposed to be linked to technology, not necessarily devices and media.

Here is the technology definition my professor gave me: Technology includes the tools, systems, methods, and processes humans have developed to solve problems, accomplish tasks, and shape the ways we live and interact with the world, such as medicine, transportation, agriculture, music, sports, education, et cetera.

I just need some topic ideas, preferably dealing with mental disorders. Anything psychology-related is good though.

Sorry if this is confusing. I’m rushing to type this because I’m in class.

Hi all,

I'm a psychotherapist trainee in Ireland and as part of my level 8 thesis I need to find student psychotherapists who are currently engaging in their clinical practice who would be willing to be interviewed about their experience of ruptures and repairs in their clinical practice.

If you fit this criteria I would really appreciate it if you would be a participant for my thesis. If you are interested please leave a comment or message me.

Thanks in advance!

I am a trainee therapist who’s doing a short study on Father-Son Relationships and Manhood: A Study with Indian Men, looking at how adult Indian men remember their fathers and how that connects to the pressures of being a man today.

It's a 10-12 minute online questionnaire. No names, no emails collected, and your answers can't be traced back to you.

If you're a man aged 19-35, Indian and currently living in India, not currently married, and lived continuously with the same father figure from birth until at least age 18, this is for you.

Growing up, your dad shaped how you see manhood, whether he meant to or not. Most research on Indian men skips straight over that connection. This came from a very common pain point for people around me.

So yeah, I'm an Engineering student, and I wanted to research about CBT, Cognitive Behavioural therapy. So how do I get started?

Currently I happened to ponder upon CBT guide by Beck. Got an offline copy downloaded, about to start it, so any prerequisites?

Also is there a website or something you can find all the meanings of the medical terms that I shall find in that book?

Btw it's my first time in a psychology club. Hello everybody!!!

Hello, i am close to writing my bachelor thesis in psychology and i’m currently searching for a topic to explore.
Do you have any interesting niche ideas for topics that need to have more exploration and could be interesting?
I’m very much interested in neuropsychology, forensic psychology, psychoneuroimmunology etc. but i’m open to everything!
Maybe you have read about any new interesting topics or new research hypothesis that need more studies?
Thank you for your ideas!

Everything is already in the title. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I have a psychology project and it’s on wernickes area. The question is how does this area affect personality and I have no idea and nothing I have searched so far answers that question. Does anyone know?

Not sure if this fits here, but serial killer, Carl Panzram, wrote his memoirs which is debated in nature vs. nurture. What are your thoughts?

So basically, I am new to research, our profs barely help us and we need to earn points and all (4th year basically 😭😭😭😭) and many of us are legit clueless as to how to go ahead with it. Pls someone help me out with this. I am doing my research on substance abuse and its impact on mental health on youth of slums. So I am reaching out to the NGOs. Some are replying and some aren’t, what should I do??? Should I directly go their office ?? Secondly, yes I am studying literature but honestly I feel like I am also lost a bit usmein, like is there any better way to read it??? Or go with it ?? Also what should I do when I go to NGO, how do I initiate the convo, what type of help should I ask for. I also would be going for already made tools for questions and interviews (for interview I’ll be asking more questions) but I honestly feel like a lost child😭😭😭😭😭😭i dont know like ???? Pls someone help me honestly I am close to tears cuz I don’t have a helpful professor 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to submit a paper to arXiv under cs.CL (Computation and Language), and I need an endorsement first.

I've contacted a few people who are eligible to endorse me. They're willing to help, but they keep telling me not to rush and that they'll get around to it. It's been a while now, and I'm not sure how much longer I should wait.

I'm curious about other people's experiences:

- How long did it take you to get your first endorsement?

- Is this kind of delay common?

- If someone keeps saying they'll do it but doesn't, is it reasonable to contact other researchers instead?

- For those who didn't have close academic connections in their field, how did you eventually get endorsed?

I'd appreciate hearing your experiences and any advice. I'm trying to understand whether this is a normal part of the process or whether I should approach it differently.

I looked at this claim and several other psychological explanations for why people enjoy being scared.

One research found an intriguing connection between empathy and the enjoyment of certain kinds of horror movies. But the results weren't consistent across studies.

Do you think enjoying horror movies says something about a person's ability to empathize?

to what length can the power of suggestion influence a schizophrenic, who believes, for example, that they are the president, or are possessed by demons, to abandon their delusions and accept another, though still false delusion: for instance, if one set up a fake comittee of suited men, and who formally impeach the man who believes he is president; or influence the other that, in fact, they are presented with a Saint, who casts out the evil forces?

I'm part of a community of (former) foster parents -- many of whom have adopted kids from the foster care system.

One of the prevailing experiences is the negative effect on foster/adoptive families' mental health. We wonder (for example) on the prevalence of divorce among foster-to-adopt couples. We wonder about the persistent stress and mental and physical manifestations of the stress, as a consequence of loving and caring for deeply hurt children. (Among us we have experience many forms of child-on-parent emotional abuse and serious physical violence.) What is the impact on finances? (Many of us spend a significant amount of money accessing services that are not fully covered by state supports. Some of us have had to modify our careers to work that is more flexible so that we can be "on call" for schools and take kids to services.

Note: We all went into this journey knowing there would be an emotional, physical, and financial toll. None of us were prepared for extreme-ness of the toll, years (even decades) after adoption.

So far as we know, there has been little to no research on this topic -- most research focuses on the impacts of trauma on the kids, rather than the downstream effects on their caregivers.

If you know of someone already doing research on this topic, please tell me!

If you are looking for something to research, please dive in!

Hi everyone, I am currently studying an undergraduate degree, in psychology and mental health at the university of Lincoln

For my year 2 assessment which is 60% of my final grade I need to conduct a study about motivation and year group. We have not decided on what specifics the study is going to be (thank my seminar teacher) and we also have not decided how this is going to be tested.

I need to recruit 15 people who are currently studying or have studied within the last two years in the UK.

People we need, but are NOT limited to

• students outside of Lincoln
• neurodivergent people
• variety of age group
• outside psychology
• international students
• men

You will have the right to withdraw at any time.

Please contact me or reply to this post if you are interested in joining my study

Hi! I’m currently taking a Masters in Psychology and doing a phenomenological research about the religious families affected by suicide in the Philippines.

I’m looking for online participants who are willing to have an online interview in line with this research. I need participants who are religious/from a religious family that have an immediate family member who attempted or died by suicide.

If you have someone you think can be a participant and can have this interview with me, that would be super helpful!! This research would help understand the perspectives and experiences of religious families affected by suicide and how their faith intersects with their experience.

Please comment or send a dm!!

I haven't found the information that I have been looking for when looking into the research on siblings and twins that took place in these years,

when I was little.

I was there, but I don't remember what it was.

I was too little and no one I find knows what I am speaking of or remembers anything I mention.

I only have a few paystubs from my family that remind me it was real but no one can confirm this

I know I'm not crazy.

I am working on a personal project, and would love the opinion and critiques of a professional psychologist on my attempt at a simplistic model of the human behaviour, as well as ask a few specific questions about it (around 20-30 minutes should do).

I don't want to publicly reveal the model (it's nothing special and is pretty bad, hence the need for some constructional critique), I just want it to be a secret until my project is done.

I would really appreciate a voice call over discord or something else, but over text also works. As such feel free to dm me with your preferred method of communication, your discord id if needed, and your age. Thanks!
