Generally Thinking

Welcome to the third edition of the Psychology Articles Carnival!

The Psychology Articles Carnival, predictably enough, is a blog carnival showcasing posts relating to scientific psychology from the previous month. Often they will be articles I’ve come across and want to tell you about, but psychology bloggers are free to submit their own articles for inclusion, using this submission form.

Preferably you’ll cite at least one journal article or book by someone in the field, but as long as it’s thoughtful and not any of that pop-psychology “10 funky steps to a better you” crap, it’ll get in. If your article is on here but you didn’t submit it, it’s because I also put the odd article in just because I like it, they’re the ones that don’t start with “x presents…” Thanks for reading!

Academic

Isora9 presents Hearing Voices? Underpinnings of Auditory Hallucinations posted at Brain Blogger.

Cynthia Wunsch presents Wednesday, September 2, 2009 posted at CynthiaWunsch – The Unlikely Entrepreneur, saying, “I have lots more if you like this one ”

I do like this one Cynthia, please submit another for next month! I talked about music and it’s relationship with happiness recently in happiness music, which was actually a pretty popular post. This one’s about memory.

Steven Handel presents The Hard Problem Of Consciousness: Is Science In Need Of Another Cognitive Revolution? posted at The Emotion Machine.

Informative

Elisha Webster Emerson presents I Like My Patterns Paisley posted at My Inconvenient Body, saying, “People like patterns–it’s no secret–but is there any room for chaos?”

Romeo Vitelli presents Saving Civilization (Part 1) posted at Providentia, saying, “The beginning of a three part series on the eugenics movement and psychology’s role in it.”

There’s a nice little post discussing organisation at the new-look Positive Psychology News Daily: Organización in Buenos Aires.

Practical

The prolific Jeremy Dean put quite a few good posts up at PsyBlog in the last month, my favourite being Why you can’t help believing everything you read. Interesting that we believe first, think critically later. By the way Jeremy is now on Twitter, and you should follow him.

Thank you to everyone who submitted articles this month. Don’t forget to submit one next month too – free link juice, up for grabs.
