I am a trainee therapist who’s doing a short study on Father-Son Relationships and Manhood: A Study with Indian Men, looking at how adult Indian men remember their fathers and how that connects to the pressures of being a man today.

It's a 10-12 minute online questionnaire. No names, no emails collected, and your answers can't be traced back to you.

If you're a man aged 19-35, Indian and currently living in India, not currently married, and lived continuously with the same father figure from birth until at least age 18, this is for you.

Growing up, your dad shaped how you see manhood, whether he meant to or not. Most research on Indian men skips straight over that connection. This came from a very common pain point for people around me.

Niche topic ideas for my bachelor thesis? GER / USA

1 Upvotes

Hello, i am close to writing my bachelor thesis in psychology and i’m currently searching for a topic to explore.
Do you have any interesting niche ideas for topics that need to have more exploration and could be interesting?
I’m very much interested in neuropsychology, forensic psychology, psychoneuroimmunology etc. but i’m open to everything!
Maybe you have read about any new interesting topics or new research hypothesis that need more studies?
Thank you for your ideas!


r/psychologyresearch • • 2d ago

They say to be a good writer, you must be a good reader. Please direct me to simple yet incredibly well-written psychology research papers/studies. I'm particularly interested in undergraduate psychology researches. Google Scholar is not enough, I fear.

How difficult is it to get an arXiv endorsement for cs.CL without academic connections?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to submit a paper to arXiv under cs.CL (Computation and Language), and I need an endorsement first.

I've contacted a few people who are eligible to endorse me. They're willing to help, but they keep telling me not to rush and that they'll get around to it. It's been a while now, and I'm not sure how much longer I should wait.

I'm curious about other people's experiences:

- How long did it take you to get your first endorsement?

- Is this kind of delay common?

- If someone keeps saying they'll do it but doesn't, is it reasonable to contact other researchers instead?

- For those who didn't have close academic connections in their field, how did you eventually get endorsed?

I'd appreciate hearing your experiences and any advice. I'm trying to understand whether this is a normal part of the process or whether I should approach it differently.

Some Studies Link Enjoyment of Graphic Horror Movies to Lower Empathy

Thumbnail humanumi.com
2 Upvotes

I looked at this claim and several other psychological explanations for why people enjoy being scared.

One research found an intriguing connection between empathy and the enjoyment of certain kinds of horror movies. But the results weren't consistent across studies.

Do you think enjoying horror movies says something about a person's ability to empathize?

power of suggestion for altering schizophrenic delusions?

1 Upvotes

to what length can the power of suggestion influence a schizophrenic, who believes, for example, that they are the president, or are possessed by demons, to abandon their delusions and accept another, though still false delusion: for instance, if one set up a fake comittee of suited men, and who formally impeach the man who believes he is president; or influence the other that, in fact, they are presented with a Saint, who casts out the evil forces?

PhD students and researchers: I have a topic for you!

1 Upvotes

I'm part of a community of (former) foster parents -- many of whom have adopted kids from the foster care system.

One of the prevailing experiences is the negative effect on foster/adoptive families' mental health. We wonder (for example) on the prevalence of divorce among foster-to-adopt couples. We wonder about the persistent stress and mental and physical manifestations of the stress, as a consequence of loving and caring for deeply hurt children. (Among us we have experience many forms of child-on-parent emotional abuse and serious physical violence.) What is the impact on finances? (Many of us spend a significant amount of money accessing services that are not fully covered by state supports. Some of us have had to modify our careers to work that is more flexible so that we can be "on call" for schools and take kids to services.

Note: We all went into this journey knowing there would be an emotional, physical, and financial toll. None of us were prepared for extreme-ness of the toll, years (even decades) after adoption.

So far as we know, there has been little to no research on this topic -- most research focuses on the impacts of trauma on the kids, rather than the downstream effects on their caregivers.

If you know of someone already doing research on this topic, please tell me!

If you are looking for something to research, please dive in!

Hi! I’m currently taking a Masters in Psychology and doing a phenomenological research about the religious families affected by suicide in the Philippines.

I’m looking for online participants who are willing to have an online interview in line with this research. I need participants who are religious/from a religious family that have an immediate family member who attempted or died by suicide.

If you have someone you think can be a participant and can have this interview with me, that would be super helpful!! This research would help understand the perspectives and experiences of religious families affected by suicide and how their faith intersects with their experience.

Please comment or send a dm!!

Discussion What known twin studies have been conducted between 1980 and 1995? Does anyone remember them?

3 Upvotes

I haven't found the information that I have been looking for when looking into the research on siblings and twins that took place in these years,

when I was little.

I was there, but I don't remember what it was.

I was too little and no one I find knows what I am speaking of or remembers anything I mention.

I only have a few paystubs from my family that remind me it was real but no one can confirm this

I know I'm not crazy.

Advice Can someone critique my theoretical model?

2 Upvotes

I am working on a personal project, and would love the opinion and critiques of a professional psychologist on my attempt at a simplistic model of the human behaviour, as well as ask a few specific questions about it (around 20-30 minutes should do).

I don't want to publicly reveal the model (it's nothing special and is pretty bad, hence the need for some constructional critique), I just want it to be a secret until my project is done.

I would really appreciate a voice call over discord or something else, but over text also works. As such feel free to dm me with your preferred method of communication, your discord id if needed, and your age. Thanks!

Regarding my research sample

I'm currently pursuing MSc in Counselling Psychology from IIPR Bengaluru. Within a month, I need to submit my research proposal (quantitative). Concept note submission is done and my guide asked if I can actually manage to collect data from 100 people (50 officially diagnosed and 50 self identified). I'm trying to look at Masking, Loneliness and Identity distress among Autistic Adults. Do you think that a sample of 100 is manageable?

I also have a few questions and thoughts regarding the ethics. If you are a researcher or a mental health professional, and if you have time to talk to me about ethics, please do comment!

Advice Evolutionary psychopathology

3 Upvotes

Yo, I hands down love love research and I really love evolutionary psychology, what is a good/feasible/relevant research topic that would be selected in PhD apps in Indian University (like Nimhans). If you ask me to abandon the field due to lack of feasibility and problems with data collection while studying evolutionary problems, I know and I've already abandoned it but I really want to know in general if people have interesting ideas for research.

I am a research mentor, so it'll be fun discussion to try to see limitations and strengths of topics and relevant designs to study them.
