So I took my first class in college today. It was a General Education thing. Psychology 101 is the name and one of the requirements for the term is to be a subject in a psychological experiment (you can opt out and write a paper, but I'd rather be a lab rat). So I just decided to skim the list of choices, some were online, but do you know which one I immediately signed up for the second I saw it?
...
The one that said it involved "electrical stimulation". Frankly it's what I wanted. Why? umm...
Ok first of all, I'm not a masochist. I recognize that being shocked will hurt and I probably won't like that bit too much. However, it's a unique experience I've never had and that intrigued me. At least that's my first theory.
What's really surprising me is how much I'm looking forward to it! Why AM I looking forward to it so much? (it's tomorrow)
Well I'm stumped about it, but I'll tell you how it goes. The experiment is called "learning and punishment".
