Mike- Thanks! :) In reading what I have of the article so far it doesn't appear to be so much response bias per se as a host of complications. The main one being, I think, that the interpretations presented on MSNBC (you better sit down now) are (I'm warning you, this may be shocking) somewhat oversimplified. (You can get up now) And even if it weren't, how many of us are surprised at adolescents holding conflicting beliefs, engaging in rapid changes, or holding intellectual beliefs inconsistent with their behavior? I don't so much think this is a good discussion topic (though in context it may be) as something we are likely to get feedback on in class (for example, I start most classes with a chance to ask questions germane to the topic). I received questions from two current and one former student about this one today- we don't start classes for three weeks. :) Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.
