Bad Vibes

Sound psychology experiment from Salford University to find out what makes a sound unpleasant. Although its experimental data collection phase is over, with much-publicized results that announced “the worst sound in the world,” it’s still online to try for fun and compare your tastes to others. Fingernails on a blackboard? Babies screaming? Dentist’s drill? The site also offers a mixer to play with, and if you want to torment your friends some sounds are available as free ringtones.

Human Research Subjects Training

Hello all, and welcome to my first posting here at PsychSplash! I hope to continue on the road that Dr. Gareth paved so well. My first inclusion in to the land of PsychSplash involves Human Research Subjects Training. As a Ph.D. Student who is almost finished with his proposal, I am working on the IRB as well, and this can be a daunting task sometimes to keep the principles of the human research participant combined with my own wanting to get the proposal done. To that end, I have found in my research the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative, which helps keeps participants up-to-date on IRB and research training.
