Looks like we need to develop a "tongue in cheek" emoticon. -Don. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shearon, Tim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Teaching in the Psychological Sciences" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 11:45 AM Subject: RE: What is it about social psychologists?
> Gary- I'm not sure I understand your response. This seems to paint rather broadly given the related events. I'm not a social psychologist but I don't see these incidents as impugning the vast majority of those I've met and interacted with in social psychology. I think we have a) jumped to the conclusion that "she did it" (it is two against one) but shouldn't we wait till she responds and more of the facts are known and b) assumed that given a) this is somehow indicative of an enduring quality of a group of our colleagues. That just doesn't ring true to what I believe about psychology (environments playing such an important role). Respectfully, Tim > > _________________________________________________ > Timothy O.

Over zealousness of the political correctness ideology? Over-identification of liberals with such causes to the point they want to awaken people to the problem by creating more of the problem? Desire to want the attention and sympathy of real victims? ―-example of imitation and suggestion? Supported by the cultural -ideological climate of this university. That is, this is how to get attention/recognition by accommodation to, rather than critical thinking about such things? And why social psychololgists? I don't know if it is peculiar to that field, but it is interesting. Gary > > > > Gerald L.
