Psychology The Trolley Problem Moral Philosophy Ethics
We were talking about Kohlberg and morality and one of my students asked me about "trolley" problems. That was my inspiration! If you are not aware of "trolley problems" they go something like this... "A trolley has lost its brakes and is headed down a track and will kill 5 people. You can flip the switch and only one person will be killed. What do you do?" Of course, there are a million variations of these kinds of problems too. While not strictly psychology I think these problems are interesti

You might do this and the STM lab and have the students compare the data. There are 182 UNIQUE versi

Psychology Dream Collection Psychology Freud Dream Analysis
An interesting part of psychotherapy incorporates dream analysis...I always wanted to do more with interpreting dreams (yes, I understand that Freud would say this should not be done outside of a therapist-patient relationship), but whose dreams to interpret... I did not want the students to get embarrassed by what their dreams might mean so I never really did any analysis in class. I decided what I needed was a generic collection of dreams we could analyze without regard for embarrassing anyone
