About Me
I'm Robin Young: a psychology & sociology student who felt the compulsion to collect the fascinating information that I come across in my studies. I plan on compiling everything from academic research studies to less academic, more pop-psychology facts here for your information and enjoyment.

We are all susceptible to the hindsight bias, which refers to our tendency to overestimate our powers of prediction once we know the outcome of given event. For example, research has shown that on the day after an election, when people are asked which candidates they would have picked to win, they almost always believe they would have picked the actual winners- even though the day before the election, their predictions wouldn’t have been nearly as accurate.
