Myths about violent video games and children
Apr 26, 4:35am    (42 reviews)  psychology  http://www.grandtheftchildhood.com/GTC/M...
From the page: "# # FACT: The U. S. Secret Service intensely studied each of the 37 non-gang and non-drug-related school shootings and stabbings that were considered â€oetargeted attacks” that took place nationally from 1974 through 2000. (Note how few premeditated school shootings there actually were during that 27-year time period, compared with the public perception of those shootings as relatively common events!) The incidents studied included the most notorious school shootings, such as Columbine, Santee and Paducah, in which the young perpetrators had been linked in the press to violent video games. The Secret Service found that that there was no accurate profile. Only 1 in 8 school shooters showed any interest in violent video games; only 1 in 4 liked violent movies."

Jung: On The Shadow
Apr 6, 3:33am    (10 reviews)  psychology, jung  http://psikoloji.fisek.com.tr/jung/shado...
From the page: " When we must deal with problems, we instinctively resist trying the way that leads through obscurity and darkness. We wish to hear only of unequivocal results, and completely forget that these results can only be brought about when we have ventured into and emerged again from the darkness. But to penetrate the darkness we must summon all the powers of enlightenment that consciousness can offer. "The Stages of Life" (1930). In CW 8: The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche. P.752"
PsyBlog: Absent-Mindedness: A Blessing in Disguise?
Apr 6, 3:18am    (4 reviews)  psychology  http://www.spring.org.uk/2008/01/absent-...
From the page: "One of the most striking experimental demonstrations of how central attention is to absent-mindedness is seen in psychology experiments on change-blindness. In one well-known example, participants watch a video of people passing a basketball between each other, and they are asked to count the number of passes. I've been a participant in this experiment, and it worked like a treat on me. I sat watching the video, counting the passes. Then, after the video was finished, I was asked if I noticed anything unusual. I was completely bemused: "What do you mean anything 'unusual'," I said. "I've just seen people passing a basketball to each other. What are you talking about?" The experimenter smiled and set the video clip running again, but this time with no instructions to count the passes. I watched in amazement as after about 30 seconds of people passing the basketball, a person dressed in a gorilla suit walks right through the centre of the scene, stops, turns, looks at the camera, then turns again and walks out of shot. The gorilla is visible for fully 5 seconds. I didn't notice a thing. And I'm not alone. In the version carried out by Simons and Chabris (1999), on average around half the people who took part didn't notice the gorilla. The original version of this experiment was carried out more than 30 years ago, but it still has the power to amaze (Neisser & Becklen, 1975)."

This is so true. It takes some knowledge to know what you don't know. The effect of my first year in college was primarily to teach me (other than a lot of facts) how much more there was to know...
