July 15, 2012Thank you for getting in touch about this. I am in the process of moving the audio files from one server to another and the process isn’t complete yet. This episode – an interview with Jamie Raser – is one of my favorites as well. I’ll prioritize this so that it gets moved over to a live state today. I’ll let you know when this is done.

July 15, 2012I am presently teaching a Human Growth and Development class at Mission College in Santa Clara, California. I use several of your podcasts. Some are not functioning or students are denied access. For example: Episode 103: Raising Children – Interview with Author Jamie Raser
Please let me know if this podcast is still available.

July 15, 2012Do you have anything for remembering the components of the psychosocial assessment? History-age, dev stage, cultural, spiritual, previous history Sensorium and Intellectual Processes Orientation, Confusion, Memory etc.?

July 15, 2012Hi Michael,
I’ve really enjoyed listening to your show for several years now and have recently returned to uni in Melbourne, Australia to refresh my earlier studies in order to apply to an MA.
I’m currently writing an essay for a class on Ethics and Professional Issues which asks me to discuss the ethical issues for a psychologist when appearing on or delivering a podcast such as yours. I’ve identified 2 major issues to discuss ie. confidentiality regarding clients, and also speaking with respect, and in a way which preserves the dignity, when describing a subject population. Are there any others of which you’re particularly aware when putting together your podcast and/or can you point me towards any resources that you know of that help you do the right thing in this area?
Thank you, K. Hathaway

July 15, 2012Listening through Spotify – no kidding? I knew the show was being offered through Spotify but when I subscribe to a podcast I use my Overcast app. I just think of Spotify as being for music. Guess I gotta get “unstuck” about this! Thanks for listening and for the comment!

July 15, 2012Great job Michael! I listen to your podcast on Spotify and it makes my day at work a lot easier. Greetings from Denmark !

July 15, 2012Hmm….you could try the technique where you create a job description and then you create a resume for a person who you tell subjects is “applying for the position” and the resume shows that the person is sort of a good fit for the job (but not perfect) and you ask subjects to read the job description and then look at the resume and respond, on a scale of 1 to 10 how likely they would be to hire that person for the job. The resume also has a picture of the candidate attached to it. For one group, this person is white and for the other group the person is black or you could use a person who is of normal weight in one condition and the person is overweight in the other. You’d be looking to see if the overweight person or the minority receives a lower average “likelihood of hiring” rating. Of course, ideally you would use the exact same person in both conditions and you would just change that person’s skin color or appearance in some way. You could perhaps use Photoshop to do this, but you’d need someone who was skilled at using Photoshop to do this. What do you think of this idea?

July 15, 2012Michael, can u plz recommend an experiment that I can easily replicate to demonstrate a racial or obesity bias?
Michael
July 15, 2012I get that. I often wonder the same thing about people who host the podcasts I listen to – “What does he/she look like anyway?”. Especially because after you listen to someone so long you do feel like you know them. Kinda weird, but I think we all have that feeling. Perhaps a topic for a future podcast….Hmm. Thanks for visiting the site!

The return of the return of AP Psych review | Education by Credo
July 15, 2012[…] 4) This is not an on-demand guaranteed service. People who currently teach or formerly taught AP Psych will answer your question as best they can. If you need more intensive help, there are plenty of AP Psych review books (such as Barron’s, AP Psychology All Access, and D&S) and Michael Britt has review apps aplenty to choose from. […]

July 15, 2012Excellent question. I have been working on Psyc Test Hero because the Disorders section still reflects DSM4. I'm in the process of updating it. I really needed to do this sooner but I've been really busy. I'm prioritizing it now. Appreciate the comment Jacklin. I'll leave a comment here once the update has been made and is live.
Jacklin
July 15, 2012Hello. I was wondering if you had developed any apps that incorporated the DSM5 yet?

July 15, 2012Dear Michael
I am looking for apps to use in play therapy that will work on an ipad.
Any ideas? It is for my psychology masters in using technology in therapy with children.
Thanks for the informative site.

July 15, 2012Hi Michael, so glad that I can across your site and android apps in time for my psychology course. First year student from Australia loving your work and youtube clips. Keep up the great work that you do. You're a great example of passion within the field.

July 15, 2012Hi! I would to know when will these applications become available for Windows 8 Store? Windows 8 tablet users are growing fast considering the convenience of the features windows 8 have which Ipad/Iphone doesn't. I'm a Psychology Major. I just really hope that this would be available on Windows 8
The compassion of having these information available for everyone is amazing. I'm one of those who really appreciate being able to access these information.
I hope you'll continue your work where true knowledge isn't monopolized.
Michael
July 15, 2012Thanks. That’s a great idea – do an “audio collage” using Rogers or Maslow. I guess I chose Skinner because he’s a little more misunderstood than these two…although it’s true that many students leave a psych class thinking that the only thing Rogers ever contributed to psychology was to tell therapists to say to their clients, “What do YOU think about that?”. I might follow-up on this. Thanks for the suggestion!

July 15, 2012Hello Michael, a word of thanks for your podcast, I have found it informative and interesting. Thanks for your efforts. I would like to suggest that you do some podcasts on carl rogers or abraham maslow, like the one you did on Skinner.
Michael
July 15, 2012Another fan from Australia! Love the accent!

July 15, 2012Thanks Michael! Starting my Graduate Diploma in Psychology this year (in Australia) and I am really pleased I found your podcast and also the Psyc Test Hero App!

July 15, 2012Emma: both of those apps are made by someone other than me so you’d have to check their websites. Here’s the URL for 3D Brain: http://www.g2conline.org/g2c/feedback/
Here’s the site for Brain Tutor 3D: http://www.brainvoyager.com/index.html
Hope this helps!

July 15, 2012Hi Michael,
Great Podcast! Will 3D Brain and Brain Tutor 3D be released for Android?
