Questions and answers
What are some good psychology trivia questions?
Three from this set: what did Pavlov's dogs learn to do at a signal, which inflatable toy did children copy an adult hitting in Albert Bandura's studies, and what does the German word Gestalt mean? Each comes with four choices and an explained answer.
Are the questions easy or hard?
Both. Of the 110, 23 are easy, such as the city where Sigmund Freud worked. Another 62 are medium, and 25 are hard, such as the three numbers Peter Wason handed volunteers in 1960. No round is all one level.
Does the quiz cover disorders or say anything about my personality?
No. It is a history quiz: experiments, researchers, schools of thought and where terms came from. Conditions, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are left out on purpose, and no question reads anything into the answer you pick.
