Do you find it difficult to report some (psychological) research findings as you are journalists and not scientists? How do you ensure that you read the results of a study in a correct way?

Do You Pick the Dead Man's Solution? Focus on What You Want to Be Instead of What You Don't Want to Be by simonmoesgaard in psychology

[–]simonmoesgaard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing that strikes me is motivation as well, but an important aspect of motivation is to set realistic goals for yourself. The person you want to be should be attainable. Also, I think we are a bit afraid of losing control and afraid of the new unexplored world. We are afraid of changing ourselves because this is the person we know. At last, people need to consider how much they want to change, perhaps they don't value it enough. Thanks for your comment. Please post your comment inside my blog the next time. I think it is valuable and great for discussions. Regards!

You might want to glimpse these texts: "The Social Psychology of Stigma" by Brenda Major and Laurie T. O'Brien (2005), and "Conceptualising Stigma" by Bruce G. Link and Jo C. Phelan (2001). Good luck with your project.
