Guide to Psychology Blogs - Part 2
More great blogs, stacks of fantastic content, all free. Perhaps there is hope for humanity [updated May 2008].
Best guide to new psychology research
What can the BPS Research Digest do for you? Well, it will introduce and keep you up to date with the best new psychology research being published in academic journals. It's all proper science that's been translated from academic-journal-speak into langauge we can all understand. Can't say fairer than that.
Best psychology blog carnival
Blog carnivals are a neat way to highlight great posts on related topic from different blogs. In psychology and neuroscience, Encephalon is the Daddy of blog carnivals. Coming out every two weeks and hosted by a different blogger each time, Encephalon enables you to sample new blogs and marvel at the sheer diversity of the psychology blogosphere.
Best neuroscience blog
And while I'm talking about the Daddy of psychology carnivals, I should mention Encephalon's Daddy, the Neurophilosopher. In depth but accessible, the Neurophilosopher covers neuroscience and too much else to sum up here. Head over there, but be warned - it's addictive!
Best crime psychology blog
Not just one blog, but a family of blogs about crime psychology. Most accessible of these to the general reader is the Deception Blog which will keep you up to date on the latest research on lie detection.
Update: posting has slowed up but there's still some interesting occasional posts.
Best guide to psychology sites and resources
Lost? Confused? Unsure where you're heading? PsychSplash helps alleviate existential angst by pointing you to the juiciest new psychology websites on offer. Although aimed primarily at clinical psychologists, students and researchers, many posts are of interest to a wider audience. Written in a breezy style by a clinical psychologist.
Best sex psychology blog
Dr Boynton's blog covers sex and relationship issues, but one of her missions is to improve the quality of information on these topics produced by the mainstream media. To that end, she exposes some of the more lamentable attempts to report psychology along with ways it could be improved. Unfortunately, sometimes it really is as bad as you think it is. Dr Boynton is a lecturer at a London University.

Hi Jeremy - thanks for the plug. It is great to be amongst such great company. If people are looking for more blog content in the Psychology arena, they are welcome to visit my bloglines page.
http://www.bloglines.com/public/psychsplash
It contains blogs as well as news sites across multiple disciplines.
You're welcome Gareth - keep up the good work!
A cool thing that I did was subscribing to Science Blog's Brain and Behavior feed. I'm subscribing to most of the blogs you mention here, and I've already subscribed to yours. It's a lovely read.
I'm addicted.
Thanks! Good suggestion for a tagline that -
PsyBlog. The Only Safe Addiction.
No, actually I think that might be in bad taste.
Thanks Jeremy! I'm quite flattered. I've been reading your blog ever since you submitted to my Encephalon (so just a couple of weeks), but I'm excited to catch up on what I missed (and read the posts to come)!
Madam, you are welcome!
