Our next meetup is Friday 6 November 10.30 - 12.00 (first Friday of the month) 

Thank you to everyone who have indicated their top three psychology topics. The clear leader is Social Psychology. This is very early days for us, in terms of what we do and how we do it. So let's focus on this topic for the next two sessions and see how it goes.

I've located a short presentation from a university professor and international expert on social psychology to outline the main areas of study within this discipline.

Then there are three video clips which focus on two landmark studies:

• The Ache conformity experiment
• The Stanford prison experiment

There is also a video which critiques the original Stanford prison experiment

Please view the videos before the session to prepare for discussion in the group.

And if you would like extra reading about the Stanford Prison Experiment:

• A short read that criticises it
• A longer research paper debunking it

Thanks, Kevin
