Psychology Essay Topics??

[O2BNRN]

Hey peeps! :heartbeat

I'm taking psych this summer and I have to turn in a topic for a 4-5 page essay by Monday. Our professor said he doesn't care what we write it on, as long as it relates to psychology. I keep thinking I would like to do something that goes along with nursing but I'm drawing a blank!!! Anyone have any ideas???

Hi, how about an essay about the different types of mental health therapy?..although, I am not sure how "nursing" related that can be?...you can probably note how nurses see different improvements or reactions from different individual depending on what therapy that person is getting.

Goodluck.

That's a great idea! I didn't mean nursing so much as health care in general. However I'm open to any suggestions if any of you have read or wrote on an interesting topic!

I took psych in the spring and had a 2000 word minimum paper to do. I wrote my paper on whether or not serial killers are "born to kill or driven to murder". It was pretty interesting, and I got an A.

Also, here is a list of topics my professor provided for people to chose from....

1. Are humans naturally violent?

2. Does evolutionary psychology explain human sex differences?

3. Are genetic explanations of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder faulty?

4. Should animal research in psychology be eliminated?

5. Do mothers who work outside the home have a negative effect on their children?

6. Does the divorce of parents harm their children?

7. Should psychology adopt a theory of multiple intelligences?

8. Do adults repress childhood sexual abuse?

9. Is drug addiction a choice?

10. Do multiple personalities exist?

11. Does drug abuse treatment work?

12. Is treating homosexuality ethical and effective?

13. Does electroshock therapy cure depression?

14. Is media violence harmful to children?

15. Does the internet have psychological benefits?

16. Is Mediaography harmful?

Hope you come up with something...Good luck on your paper! :)

Wow! What a great list! My problem is that the class just started Monday, but since it's a 4 week class, we have to have our topic turned in by Monday! Since we've only gone over the basics I just wasn't sure where to even start!!!! lol But anyway thanks again, the list will help me get into the right mindset. :nuke:
