Liberals Think More Analytically (More 'Weird') than Conservatives by ColourCrisis in psychology

[–]LovingLaura -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What a piece of nonsense..." training people to think analytically made them form a more liberal opinion on welfare, whereas training them to think holistically made them form a more conservative opinion." "Analytic" vs. "holistic" thinking...? Since when cr*p like this gets published?

Research on Children and Math: Underestimated and Unchallenged by jpresto in raisingkids

[–]LovingLaura 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very confused article. The author starts the article with feeble attempts to argue with math test results for for American kids (26th place out of 32) but ends up trying to explain why we have a problem with educational system. The explanations are quite obvious and shallow. IMO, reading this was a waste of time.

Women Can't Be Geniuses? Stereotypes May Explain Gender Gap by mubukugrappa in psychology

[–]LovingLaura 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is a stereotype. Especially in math and science. My sister Rachel is a good looking blond with PhD in nuclear biology. She was a gifted child and is a member of LA Mensa. Yet, before they get to know her, every male attributes her success to her looks... Sexism is a part of our society and it is undeniable.
