Ideas for psychology research study revolving around drugs?
    #7954401 - 01/30/08 02:44 AM (16 years, 3 days ago)

Greetings fellow shroomerites!:)

Well to get to the point, I am currently taking a class for research methods in psychology, where we not only get to learn how to conduct research, but also create and carry out a project ourselves.  As I plan to eventually use the field of psychology to further explore and research my interest in drugs and the human mind, naturally I am trying to think of a good project to carry out for this course that revolves around the topic.

Thing is that this is a 200lvl class, so wont be able to do any experiments where drugs are administered and control groups, etc. are used as resources (knowledge, lab, equipment, ethical reasons etc.) are limited at this point.

So far I think the best research design I could carry out at this level would be a survey. Problem is that I dont just want to end up with a bunch of percentages on who uses drugs and what they think about them, etc. so just trying to think of a way to get the most out of what I can do.  Currently I was thinking of doing almost a correlational thing where I would also give a personality test and a survey on drugs and perhaps see which personality types (Myers-Briggs) are more open to drug use and such but it still seems like i could get more out of it.

Soo I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas or suggestions on a study I can do that includes the topic of drugs somehow. Hopefully if all goes well, I could potentially use fellow shroomerites as samples and post results!

Wow sorry for the length..also enjoying a nice codeine high at the moment hehe..

Anyway, thanks and hope to get some more ideas! :mushroom2:

maybe you're just too focussed on drugs :shrug:

it has one advantage though.. from the vast possibilites of reasearchable things you already selected a pretty small sample. Now you only have to think of a good idea to research.

How about personality types and average grades people get in their classes? I'm suggesting something else because I'm not a big fan of drug obsessed ideas (just as in song lyrics). If you really want to have a drug related subject of research, try to think of something that you don't know about it, but that you would like to know.

Research the effects of HPPD and how it can bring about severe anxiety and depression in some people.

I can only imagine the horrors that some people have to live with 24/7 for what could possibly last a lifetime.

I really think you should use "anonymous exploits" of psychotropics on mice.
