The goal of this product is to empower students to apply scientific thinking to the psychology of their everyday lives. By applying scientific thinking--thinking that helps protect us against our tendencies to make mistakes--we can better evaluate claims about both laboratory research and daily life. Students will emerge with the critical-thinking skills and open-minded scepticism they need to distinguish psychological misinformation from psychological information. The product is designed to encourage students to keep an open mind to new claims, but to insist on and evaluate evidence informing these claims.
