    Study Notes

    • Psychology studies behavior, including how it affects people's emotions and thoughts.
    • One example of a study psychologists have conducted is the weekend effect, which found that people are happier on the weekend than during the week.
    • Some of the coolest experiments have been when people have thought things to be obvious but they've turned out not to be.
    • One example of this is the Solomon Asch experiment, in which social psychologists found that only 24% of subjects didn't say the wrong answer on average when asked a simple question about lines on cards.
    • Psychology is useful because it can help us understand how people think and behave, even in cases where what we think is obvious is not actually true.
    • again, because it's true that we have ideas of how things work and our brains work. We don't actually have any idea a lot of the time. The Misattribution Effect
