Exploring Psychology - For iPod/iPhone http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/itunes.open.ac.uk.1542441648.01542441656 Open University Exploring Psychology - For iPod/iPhone How humans think, develop, and experience the world around us has been fascinating psychologists for over 100 years. The tracks in this album cover a range of case studies, looking at factors which can influence the development of our personalities. What is the impact of significant people in our early lives? How do you go about the process of researching topics like this in social psychology? The audio tracks feature disabled people who reflect on how disability has affected their sense of identity. Also featured are the cases of twins who didn't grow up together, people coping with memory loss, and the famous case of the soprano Lisa-Lee who discovered in her twenties that a rare genetic disorder meant she was actually a girl, not a boy. Studying people through such issues as gender disorder and disability allows psychologists to learn more about the human condition. This material forms part of the Open University course DSE212 Exploring psychology.
