About PsyBlog & Jeremy Dean

This website is all about you and me. It's about understanding how our minds work and why we think and act the way we do. Of course bookshop shelves groan with this sort of material in the self-help section, but this site has one crucial difference with much of that material: PsyBlog focuses on scientific psychology.

Research covered here has been published in reputable academic journals in many different areas of psychology. To give you a flavour there is a series on the top 10 social psychology studies, the 7 sins of memory and the psychology of money. You can find more links to articles arranged by themes on the left-hand side of the page. Individual popular articles are on the right-hand side.
