		<description><![CDATA[Roy Baumeister is one of the most respected social psychological researchers alive today, so when I saw that he had given a talk with the title of this post, I had to read it. It has given me much to think about, and of course I&#8217;m going to share. Baumeister starts by noting the obvious: [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a preponderance of male-centered form and content in traditional Judaism and Christianity\, something that can be demonstrated by simply counting words in religious texts.

Research in this month&#8217;s issue of Science that finds a significant correlation (among people with strongly-held political views) between certain physical reactions and political leanings.

		<description><![CDATA[I feel intensely frustrated, watching election coverage. I have located one source of that frustration (there are many): the fact that we pretend elections are about the issues that are being discussed by the overly-cosmeticized talking heads on TV. So what that there are multiple videos showing Sarah Palin actually supporting the maligned &#8220;bridge to [...]]]></description>

It makes no sense to me that (a) aspiring clinical psychologists have to know the details of Industrial-Organizational psychology, or (b) we should be required to have an intimate understanding of all the archaic psychotherapeutic missteps and quackery [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;not that my actual freshman roomie was like this. Sometimes psychological diagnosis is difficult and counterintuitive. Sometimes the categories don&#8217;t form &#8220;natural kinds&#8221; to the untrained eye. However, sometimes they absolutely do. I was struck just now, studying for the EPPP, of how very, very familiar the following diagnostic category is. I think everyone has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question for the day: is psychology a science? Yes1. But I think people are made very uncomfortable by psychology, so they&#8217;d rather believe otherwise. I will explain. This recurring line of thought was reawakened during a recent argument conversation with some friends, when one of them implied that the results of psychological research could not [...]]]></description>
