Videos: CP Methodology Unit -2

Republican Senator from a Pro-gun state saying video games are worse then guns because "they affect people."

Good video of John Stossel confusing people into thinking that their horoscope is unique the them, when really everyone has the same one: of Ed Kemper a famous serial-killer who killed his grandparents, mother, etc...

The "Amazing Randi" debunking a dowser who willingly shows up to represent his ability. Like many psychics and their types, he really believes he can do this.

Placebo video explaining different types of placebos and their efficacy.

Great video showing a contrived observation with a hypothesis, control variable , data, etc... and it's funny

The Power of Mind. George Dillman's pressure point and no-touch Chi knock-out martial art is tested by science: it fails. But it still works on his students....because they believe.

A good video showing another no touch knock-out practitioner's martial art failing on others, but working on his believing students.

One of the best videos showing a "chi master" destroying his students and then betting $5,000 he can beat an MMA fighter (because he believes). You can guess what happens.

Better angle of the fight here:

STEP study on prayer. Done through Harvard in 2006 with $2.4 million in funding. Study seems to show that intercessory prayer (praying for someone else) is placebo. There is no good scientific evidence yet that prayer is anything other than placebo. In short, it's the belief that makes you feel better.

Intro into Milgram Experiment: Part 1

The main video for the Milgram experiment showing the bulk of how the experiment was conducted and how many people reacted to it.

Milgram Debriefing. Make sure to watch this and look for the Cognitive Dissonance...when he tells himself a comforting lie about what he was going to do (hint).
