many of these are not new discoveries

So students and adults are mutually exclusive?

wabitgirl
I mean... this stuff isn't necessarily new... maybe they're finally pushing it through peer review though?
Dayrest
What about adult students?
airen
As a recent adult student yes, i make friends more easily now that I am a student again

#15 Psychology has a massive replication crisis of even basic experiments

Ah, yes. The most respected of academic websites: BORED PANDA.

But what if I'm an adult AND a student?

#8: yes, specifically, if you take selfies at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.
SlotegeAllDay
People climb, stand, and sit all over them as if its completely fine. Ive seen it with my own eyes and couldnt believe it.
stronomer
Maybe that's their way of coping with the un-graspable. Or maybe they are just idiots.

WAITAREYOUSERIOUSohyourenotokaythatscool
Some of these studies have merit - others it's like, does this "discovery" actually influence any positive change??
Gaiashining
A lot of research studies go nowhere in all disciplines. It’s impossible to tell what will effect change.
aslowgiantfart
If we stuck to common sense we wouldn't have a clue about relativity or quantum mechanics. Science needs to explore everything to work.
Atomsk
But what cause those pixel faces?
slaw420
no shit.
shitpostmalone
No shit, students make friends quicker. You're in a concentrated area of like minded people all your age.
AntaNce
but the term 'student' does not exclude being an 'adult'.
shitpostmalone
Even then- like minded people with a common goal.
Ginocide
And you all share a common non-conflicting goal (pass the class), whose success is positively correlated to cooperation (study buddies).
GeneTheAwkward
So many people like "yeah that's obvious" but are browsing imgur in social situations and complaining about being single on no sleep.
INJECTHEROININTODICKANDDIE
Excited for psilocybe therapy to be a thing. They are a wonderful tool.

Did someone say Tool?
INJECTHEROININTODICKANDDIE
Yes but in this case a tool for mental healing

Psychopaths tend to be of above average intelligence. Only morons will capitalize every word in a sentence.
Doomgriever
That was debunked https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/unique-everybody-else/201612/are-psychopaths-really-smarter-the-rest-us
blackrasputin
Read the article, it doesn’t debunk anything. Author does not apply the scientific method or perform his own study.
crann
Found the actual psychopath!
blackrasputin
Pretty sure that counts as deadnaming. I feel pretty hate crimed right now.
Refridgerate
Y’all out saying “duh/common sense” don’t realize how many thing sin psychology don’t end up being common sense
Refridgerate
i.e. physical emotional responses (heartbeat, sweating) come before the emotion, and a lot of wisdoms/common sense things are contradictory
Refridgerate
That said I would take any non-scientist reporting on science with a grain of salt. 1 correlational study=/=an effect
thebridgejumper
Yeah, a lot of these were known well before 2018.
madeaweirdcommentchangedmyname
Especially #8
LanceSackless
Science takes nothing for granted and you need to prove even the most common sense things to conduct science proper
butlerfetish
Yes, and when you're asked for peer-reviewed studies, you'll have them, unlike anti-vaxxers.
KingBeardy
Some people can't believe the obvious without a study to back it up.
Sasuuni
Which is better than believing what they feel is obvious without a study to back it up.
KingBeardy
It's really not.
Sasuuni
It is, being stubbon about demanding proof isn't as bad as being ignorant and not caring about finding the truth.
KingBeardy
Being stubborn and refusing to acknowledge the existence of something without a peer reviewed study to prove it is far worse than accepting/
AngstAussie
To normal people. But confirmation from studies helps
Ifekinlovesauerkraut
Confirmation from studies that are done pretty every year. You gotta occupy those interns somehow...
billybobthorton1
i think he means, there were studies on these, from many many years ago. basically none of this is new.
Lightnyn
Nobody funds new research anymore because it's a risk- so all we get is this incremental research of limited value
PoopholeAintALoophole
I would argue any long-term studies on social media would need to be newer.
whyyesthankyou
#9 the issue isn't whether or not it "turns" kids violent. It's whether or not it has a long-term effects on desensitizing them to violence.
Xenadon
And research shows that there is no causal link
whyyesthankyou
Great. Cite your source.
Xenadon
Here is a site with a brief explanation: http://www.rochester.edu/newscenter/frustration-in-mastering-video-games-linked-to-aggression/
Xenadon
The study itself: Przybylski et al., 2014, Competence-impeding electronic games and players' aggressive feelings, thoughts, and behaviors
Xenadon
This is just for video games. It doesn't speak to your comment about desensitization, but the bottom line is it is more about experience

What's helicopter parenting? Is it when I make sounds of a helicopter? Cause I'd love to say fuck fuck fuck fuck everytime I enter a room
cakepunching
If I remember correctly, the ROFLCopter goes SOI SOI SOI SOI
WellDuh13
It’s called helicopter parenting because the parent hovers, like a helicopter, over every facet of the child’s life
LiMiTeDDiAvOlO
I can only assume the name comes from constantly hovering over your children and watching their every move
MyBigMouth
It was defined by Dr Huey, ring a Bell?
isntmermaidstory
Yes it was after he studied the Apache and Chinook tribes.
FailedCrate
As a professional in educational/ social fields: ugh, I hate helicopter parents, but parents not caring at all are just as bad.
Sasuuni
Surely not caring at all is much, much worse?
MikeG1218
Shooting them with nerf darts and yelling "Hellfire!".
NuclearMonk
well shit....I missed the part about them being nerf.
Ulthirm
As well as what they said, Its the type of parent who the teachers hate and sometimes take out on the student. The type who is never
Ulthirm
Willing to work with the teachers and faculty and will insist their child is perfect
IHaveTwoCuteDoggies
What would you call a parent that blames their kid for everything but wants help from the school?
Ulthirm
Dad and mom i guess, though seriously dunno if there's a term for that
SuperSunshineRainbow
A narcissist.
Leithoa
Constantly doing everything for your kid. Doing your best to make sure they never get a scrape or experience disappointment.
demli212
Yeah, if anyone's a parent, while you think you may be helping, you're really just underpreparing your child for life. Would not recommend.
Nize426
The photo in #1 isn't really helicopter parenting imo though. Playing with your kid =! Helicopter parenting.
TheNearlySilentUpvoterAndOccasionalDownvoter
So is homeschooling the only way, then? Schools around here didn’t do valentines because some kids wouldn’t get as good candy as others.
Vazaha
That is exact opposite of the apposite response - homeschooling is 'helicopter' parenting taken to the next level. Send your kid to school.
Leithoa
No. It's more than just participation trophies or forced Valentines. That's one, tiny symptom.

It's my understanding that monetary gain increases life satisfaction only in the short time. Long term follow up studies show steep decline.
Somanyquestions
Pretty sure that is what that new study is debunking.
pandro
Most lottery winners lose their money within 5 years. Spending, family handouts, poor investments, etc.

Its like having a car capable of doing 500mph dropped off in your driveway. If you werent a good driver before, the only thing it will do is
pennyeater
greatly decrease the time it takes you to fuck everything up. Granted, you will have a LOT of fun doing it
Ginocide
To clarify, money and happiness are always positively correlated, it's on the rate-of-return that declines. Your first dollar gives you >
Ginocide
more happiness than your 5 millionth, but they both make you more happy than you were one dollar previously.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Yep, that's the thing. Of course it'll give you a mood boost. And of course if it can remove roadblocks that are preventing your /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
happiness, then it will help. But once you adjust to it, it stops making you happy. Happiness comes from feeling fulfilled in your life. /2
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Having people who love you and that you love, doing things that help people, feeling like you make a contribution and are important. /3
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
These are the things that lead to long-term happiness. Lack of money can make them more difficult to attain, but simply getting money /4

doesn't give you all those. You still have to work for them. /5
