I offer no guess as to how psychology will differ in the next 1000 years
(Michael's question). But, Y2K presents alot of opportunities for social
psychology research. These include an opportunity to study hoarding
behavior (who does it, what do they hoard, etc.), mass hysteria, a
replication of Festinger's dissonance findings on prophecies (i.e. how
to cults explain why the world didn't end), religious behavior, .... The
possibilities are endless ..
It will also be fun seeing who will be the _first_ tipster to post in
the next millinium :)
