"I have been primarily
interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things, things that seem
alien to their natures. Why do good people sometimes act evil? Why do smart
people sometimes do dumb or irrational things?" --Philip
Zimbardo
My research thus far has been
mostly about the effects of using a cell phone while driving. What I have realized is that there is a lot
of information out there about how dangerous this can be. So why do people still do it? Why do I still do it? I decided to do some research about why we do
the things we do. This was when I
stumbled upon, PSY BLOG Understanding Your Mind. It is full of well documented, scientific
research about how the mind works and why humans act the way they do. I think it is going to be a very useful tool
for my final paper.
