Give me an interesting idea for a psychology paper. Tough part is, I don't want to write it on p**** or gambling at all. Thanks.

Edit: Intro to Psych class in high school, anything goes as long as it relates to psychology.

what is the class? general psych? you have any parameters? youre leaving it kind of wide open--too wide open.

I like Abraham Maslow a lot. I would write a bit on his "humanistic" view of psychology.

Why certain people should be forced to learn the meta model.

I was thinking of maybe doing something on the Stanford prison experiment...

Good idea. Standford prison experiment is a classic. How about something on visual perception and illusions? A lot of research has been on the visual system... you could talk about receptive fields and lateral inhibition for example.

Everyone else in class picked a topic already, and it hasn't even come up.

Do you have any suggestions, or just feel like being a prick?

Use my first suggestion, if it has to be something academic and unimaginative, go the classic experiment route.
