Nash Psychology

This is just a fun little amateur video I made for a psychology of personality class. We had to pick a character from pop culture and a psychological viewpoint from which to analyze the character. Well, our group picked Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader and Sigmund Freud (since little Ani has some mommy separation issues). It’s a little cheesy, and don’t be thrown by Freud’s German / British / East Indian accent. Enjoy!

Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge’s Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ), as a measure of autistic traits in adults.

Click here to link to the test. The average score from a control group was 16.4, and 80% of those with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher.

This is not a diagnostic test – and many people who score above 32 and who meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger’s have no difficulty in functioning in their everyday lives.

Tommy, James and Will have created this funny puppet show to illustrate the Case Study of a Phobia of a Five Year Old Boy (Freud 1909).

N.B. Little Hans’s Father interviewed and observed his son and sent the notes to Freud to analyse. Freud did not observe Little Hans. The Oedipus Complex is pronounced E-dip-puss and Freud was not a spider!”

The winning Limericks, from the competition to celebrate National Poetry Day are:

There once was a psychologist called Dwain,
Who wanted to study the brain,
But ‘cus his ego’s so big,
He never did twig,
That studying psychology would drive him insane!
by Mati

There once was a man called Phineas
His hair was very stramineous
He got a pole through his head
thanks to split brain, wasn’t dead
now they all call him Ignominius
by Tom & Jess

For Milgram’s obedience study,
He just didn’t have enough money,
No wonder they squealed,
The shocks were all real,
And he found it all rather funny!
