The students in the high-score group said that they thought they had, in fact, done quite well-significantly better than the average student-even though, as they’d just been told, they had zero grounds for believing this. At this point, something curious happened. (This, it turned out, was also a deception.) Finally, the students were asked to estimate how many suicide notes they had actually categorized correctly, and how many they thought an average student would get right. The students were told that the real point of the experiment was to gauge their responses to thinking they were right or wrong.
In the second phase of the study, the deception was revealed. The students who’d been told they were almost always right were, on average, no more discerning than those who had been told they were mostly wrong. Though half the notes were indeed genuine-they’d been obtained from the Los Angeles County coroner’s office-the scores were fictitious. They identified the real note in only ten instances.Īs is often the case with psychological studies, the whole setup was a put-on. Others discovered that they were hopeless. Out of twenty-five pairs of notes, they correctly identified the real one twenty-four times. Some students discovered that they had a genius for the task. The students were then asked to distinguish between the genuine notes and the fake ones.
In each pair, one note had been composed by a random individual, the other by a person who had subsequently taken his own life. They were presented with pairs of suicide notes. And yes, Dave Williams woulda found this hilarious.In 1975, researchers at Stanford invited a group of undergraduates to take part in a study about suicide. I do encourage you to check out the YouTube channel for there are many gems, including this one with Drowning Pool. Ladies and gentlemen, parents and maggots I present Slipknot’s “Psychosocial”- The Baby Shark Edition”. Not sure if your reaction will be, but I’ll leave you to it. My first reaction was jaw open, eyes wide and the words WHAT DID YOU DO? bellowing down the hallway to my boss’s office. So I feel confident saying he’d probably see this and say “What the f**k” while laughing manically. And I know Corey Taylor, and his sense of humor. Hell, I still have their demo from back in 97 that’s on a CD-R. I watched in amazement and slightly horrified, and simultaneously cheered all the dads that knew all the words AND the moves and were keeping up with their daughters.

In fact the first time I even heard the full song was at the Daddy Daughter Date Night we hosted back in February. I don’t have kids have kids, so I have been spared the torture of “Baby Shark” on repeat. Yet, some of the creations is like the old school Reese’s ads where the chocolate and peanut butter accidentally come together and it turns out it was brilliant. There is a channel on YouTube called “There I Ruined It” that unapologetically creates mash ups out of things that probably should never have come together. I mean a good horror situation should bring you both, right? My boss sent me this today and I wasn’t sure if I was horrified or entertained.
