Everyone knows eyewitness testimony is the best type of evidence there is, right? WRONG! Elizabeth F. Loftus's award winning book on the fragility of human memory explains why eyewitness testimony is actually the most unreliable and inaccurate evidence there is!

Here I present the complete text for chapter 4 (complete with illustrations) of this important, groundbreaking book. Once you see how easily an eyewitness's memory can be radically altered simply by the way they are questioned, and how new memories can be implanted and old ones altered in subtle ways, I hope you'll go out and buy this important book and read it for yourself.

This is a web page I found somewhere on the web a long time ago and saved to my hard drive because I thought it was so very interesting/fascinating. I wish I could remember where I got it so I could give them credit but alas I cannot. It's a very short web page that gives a very concise overview of the most famous (and most fascinating!) psychological experiment ever performed in modern times (in my opinion anyway): the famous Stanley Milgram "Obediance to Authority" experiment!

You owe it yourself to read this folks, and to learn not to blindly obey those in authority! As this experiment shows, far too many people "sell themselves out" by attempting to "pass the blame" onto someone "in authority" who "ordered" them (or "forced" them) to do something against their better judgement. Grow some balls, folks! Have the guts to disobey those in authority if you know in your heart that doing so is the right thing to do!

Here I present various excerpts from the book The Psychology of Religion: An Empirical Approach (second edition), by Ralph W. Hood, Jr., Bernard Spilka, Bruce Hunsberger, & Richard Gorsuch. This is a highly recommended graduate level psychology textbook chock full of many interesting psychological studies done on the subject of religion. It is heavily footnoted and contains references to literally thousands of psychological studies performed by hundreds of researchers of many years. A most fascinating book!
