Psychokinesis and the Illusion of Control: Some people are convinced that they can move or bend objects purely with their minds. They have had no success demonstrating this power in a scientific context, after centuries of trying. A well-established cognitive illusion explains why they might be so convinced.
Bias and war: Why hawks win: Almost all the documented biases affect the evaluation of military action, and in the same direction.
Motivating Other People: Influencing someone's self-image turns out to be an effective way of motivating them to do something; much more effective than offering them a reward.
Homophobia and hypocrisy: Straight men with the most homophobic attitudes are the most likely to be excited by homoerotic stimuli.
