Psychosites

In the attempt of becoming a decent psychologist ,the students use every way, every item and every tool to aprove the exams and not die of chronic strees. So, we use the web as our favourite source of information, a useful tool of work and a as a good cathartic way.

Among the sites, I highly recomend the next ones:


www.apa.org The American Psychology Asociation. An excelent site to obtain information. Althoug is paid site, thanks to our proffesor of learning psychology, we dont have to pay anything!!!!!!!

http://www.psychology.org/ The Encyclopedia of Psychology. Another source of papers and essays about psychology. Althoug it isnt as complete as the Apa, its a free site.

http://www.prisonexp.org/ This site is about a famous experiment of a social psychologist, Philip G. Zimbardo, who tried to prove the importance of the social roles among the behavior of people. So, he created a fake prison where he puts college students and gave them the roles of prisoner and prison guard. The result of the experiment was very dramatic, it has to be ended prematurely after only six days because of what the situation was doing to the college students who participated. Even a movie was made about it, "The experiment", that was also very controversial (and very good!).
