About Me
I'm Robin Young, a psychology grad student who felt the compulsion to collect the fascinating information that I come across in my studies. I compile short snippets of interesting study findings that I come across, as well as articles that people interested in psychology on any level will enjoy. I want this collection to be an antithesis to the pop psychology facts that some of the other, more popular blogs proliferate- that kills me.
Feel free to ask me any psychology questions that you might have- I know a little about most things, and quite a bit about social and developmental topics.

The Psychopath Test
A truly riveting episode on the basics of psychopathy and the psychopath test. Highly recommended.
Dr. Gilmer and Mr. Hyde | This American Life
Dr. Benjamin Gilmer (left) gets a job at a rural clinic. He finds out he’s replaced someone — also named Dr. Gilmer (picture) — who went to prison after killing his own father. But the more Benjamin’s patients talk about the other Dr. Gilmer, the more confused he becomes. Everyone loved the old Dr. Gilmer.
I don’t want to give away the ending, but this is a fascinating story that all people interested in psychology, psychiatry, medicine, and criminal justice will enjoy.
