I have a class psychology project going on and I need some help/ideas!! It's a group project, and like I said, we need serious help! We have to ask a question, form a hypothesis, and go through the scientific process. We can do ANYTHING as long as it's school appropriate. We can't figure out what to do! please any ideas and I'll be forever greatful!

thanks!(:

  1. why do people cling to religious beliefs is a fairly simple one.  the other would be why do some people choose to stay homeless, when they have nothing physically, mentally wrong and are capable of working.  lets see, what else, why did the chicken cross the road lol just joking, here's one that could jolt some butts in the seat, why overly educated individuals cannot social in a normal manner.  actually a very good one would be about asbergers: a step in human evolution or genetic damage...case being all animals that live in very tight social groups such as ants etc eventually develops specialist and that is what asbergers and things as such might be the next step.  ants did not learn to live in tight colonies overnight,  maybe this is just the in-between step  


  2. sorry cant help you , i dont no. goodluck with it

  3. Well, one slightly interesting psychology experiment that is easy to do involves memory.  Make up a list of random numbers from 1 to 9.  Start with three numbers and go to nine numbers, asking two sets of numbers each time.  Tell people the sets of numbers allowing approximately one second between each number and have them repeat the numbers.  Tell them that you want them to repeat the numbers before you tell them.  Record their responses.

    Afterwards, look at the responses that have mistakes and record how many correct responses were made at each position of each set.  Also record how many errors occurred for each set of 3 numbers, four numbers, five numbers, and so on.

    The most correct responses with the set of nine numbers, eight numbers, and seven numbers in particular should be at the first, second, next to last and last, with more errors occurring in the middle.  This experiment shows the primacy effect and the recency effect in memory, that events that occur first and events that occur last are the most often remembered.

    Look up research articles on these phenomena.
