It is my hope that the pages will be filled with research relevant to the current curriculum, so students can find papers easily, and discuss them with myself and other students if there is anything they are unsure about. There are also some fantastic psychology blogs out there that discuss these papers with great depth and insight, and it would be good if students could find these easily to help their understanding of the topics.

The fine dopamine line between creativity and schizophrenia
New research shows a possible explanation for the link between mental health and creativity. By studying receptors in the brain, researchers at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have managed to show that the dopamine system in healthy, highly creative people is similar in some respects to that seen in people with schizophrenia.

Creativity is also linked to a slightly higher risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Certain psychological traits, such as the ability to make unusual pr bizarre associations are also shared by schizophrenics and healthy, highly creative people. And now the correlation between creativity and mental health has scientific backing.

When Situations Not Personality Dictate Our Behaviour
A modern test of an ancient bible story demonstrates the power of situations to trump personality in determining behaviour. A fundamental mistake we often make when judging other people is assuming that their behaviour mainly reflects their personality.
