ACU Psychology Community

I have driven most of my friends away by insulting them.
I no longer want friends.

I want a desolate nulear wasteland of friends so I don't have to emote anymore.

You are all beautiful, wonderful, delightful people but I just can't do the emotional work anymore. It's so tiring to understand and care. I can't even care for myself!
Worse, it's full of confusion, pain, angst and ennui.

Please just f**k off!

Please f**k off.

You have 48 hours to agree on a new moderator or this site is dead. I'm not at ACU anymore.

48 hours or I shut this down. That would be disappointing because we have done a lot.
But I live 3,000 kms away and I'm no longer a faculty member.
Someone steps up or I close it.

I have asked on a number of occasions for a new moderator for this site to replace me. I no longer live in Sydney or attend ACU.

If I do not get a person who is willing to take that role within 7 days, I will simply close the site. This is not an official ACU site. It was an informal attempt to create a site for students to come together and share knowledge and support.
If you value it, step up.

To all the people on the site. Welcome and good luck for your studies.

I started this group as part of a 'reach out' initiative.
I'm no longer affiliated with ACU so to let this communications hub be it's best I'm looking for a person or group of people who are willing to take over. If nobody steps up I'll close out because it no longer has anything to do with me.
It's very low key. An hour a month unless you want to build bigger.

Up to you. Anybody wants?

Dear ACU Psych people.
It's time to declare that I am no longer an ACU affiliated individual.

I took this role as a part of things that were important at the time.

I believe that it has value.

However I (as someone who is no longer a member) believe that if it has any value going forward it needs to be run by the community of people for whom it has importance, you.

I'm happy to pass on my sources of information. I would love this site to be a source of knowledge and debate.

Someone or people with enough commitment need to contact me so I can hand over the security keys.

If I don't hear, salute!

Hi all,

Another survey request. Again since it is for Australians generally feel free to pass it on to others at Uni and your friends.

Would you like the chance to win an iPad in survey participation?
Researchers are seeking Australians over the age of 18 to participate in an online survey exploring the utility of two scales assessing eating-related attitudes and behaviours. The survey will take approximately 40 minutes to complete and participants will be invited to participate in a 5-minute follow-up survey 4 weeks after their initial participation. This research has the potential to improve eating-related attitudes and behaviours in Australian populations. If you’re an Australian over the age of 18 and interested in finding out more about this study, please see the following link:

How does the placebo effect work? How does the nocebo effect work?
The science is getting much closer to an explanation.

The weird power of the placebo effect, explained Yes, the placebo effect is all in your mind. And it’s real.

I have asked this question before and here's more evidence.

Is exercise the best medicine? From a gym at a mental hospital to studies involving millions of subjects, this scientist is out to prove that the best medicine for mental illness might not be a drug after all.
