The Psychology of Creativity -
Ranabir – Very well written and analyzed. I sometimes think the best way to define creativity is not to define it at all, for defining creativity ends creativity.
The Psychology of Children
Pete – this is good because i now know about my kid
The Psychology of Belief
Kurt: Nicely written article. One point that I believe should be added to this discussion is that the scientific worldview, despite having some basis in empirical data, also is a type of belief system. Most belief systems can show some empirical evidence, but that does not reduce their dependence on belief to bridge the gap between what is empirical and what is hypothetical.
Another good point in the article – the idea that archetypes, or what some call ‘memes’ are at the root of socio-cultural beliefs is very important to understanding why some human phenomenon, such as war-making, are so hard to change.
(Saberi: I agree with you Kurt. Thanks for your comments.)
Adrianty – although, they are only animals but they have some expression of body language to express their meaning and feeling
Nurul: it’s a good article, where can i get the questionnare to measure our attraction level
Saberi: Nurul, the main point of writing such articles is to establish the foundation for new directions in research. You may not find a questionnaire exactly on these lines and you may have to develop one. Sounds daunting but we are talking of moving psychology forward as a discipline.
