I think most of us are interested in why we do the things we do. Why do we change our minds? Why do violent video games make some children act aggressively but have little effect on others? Why are reality TV shows, some of which portray contestants as pathetic and dysfunctional, so popular?Psychological research has answered these and many other questions about human behavior.
