Why Little Albert wasn't such a great study after all

For those of you choosing to study the Little Albert case study (Watson and Rayner, 1920), you might find this link to be of interest. It's from my new blog, and it's a criticism of the study and why I don't like it. It covers evaluation points such as ethics, bias, and generalizability.

Happy revising! (Apologies for the oxymoron!)

For those of you studying minority and majority influence, this might be of interest to you

What does it take to be a leader? Many people think they know the answer, but Simon Sinek's theory seems to really hit the nail on the head. Watch the video here.

Whilst it's not directly part of the syllabus, having background theory or knowledge on how people influence others is going to aid your understanding of the course material, which will help you answer your questions better.

And regardless, this video is great. Enjoy, and happy Saturday!

A quick update from me

Hi there guys, hope the revision is coming along well.

I'd just like to let you know if you need any help, I'll still be answering as many questions as I can, but unfortunately I'm not going to be writing any more full length answers (I honestly would if I had the time to spare!).

Also, I'm here to let you guys know about my new psych blog. After much deliberation, I decided to scrap Psych-Bites due to technical difficulties, and have created Sciency Posts for Sciency Folks. It's going to be about all things relevant to psychology, so if you have any general queries or things you'd like me to blog about, comment below and if I can, I'll blog about it at the next opportunity.

I hope to see you guys around on my new site, and am still humbled by how many of you keep coming back to the site.

Best wishes
Vicky
