I have to do a research paper for psychology, but I don't know what to do it on. I'm thinking something about sexual motivation, but I dunno. Any psyc majors in here? I don't want to be predictable and say like "it's bad to test on animals". thanks for any ideas guys.

Do you want something interesting, or do you want something easy that you can find TON'S of information on?

When I took psychology, I initially tried the effects of music in early childhood develpoment (it is theorized that early exposure to music will enhance verbal and mathmatical skills) but I couldn't find any information on it, so I switched to Eating Disorders, just because I didn't have much time left, and it was REALLY easy to find information.

When I took psychology, I did a paper on perception. I wrote from sort of scientific approach about how we perceive and why perceive things as we do. It was pretty interesting. There are quite a few good sources that talk about how we perceive color, how we perceive light, etc., and why we "see" it as that.

good luck

hahaha. nice.
thanks for the ideas guys. i'm going to try to find some info on more in depth topics like the ones mentioned, but like you wilkin, if i can't find what i need, i'll probably end up doing like why we overeat or something like that.

I did 2 pprs... one a/b phobia's and another a/b personality disorders. But then again, a lot of ppl choose those topics. I found tons of information on both though. I sited from a few movies, so that was cool.
