About Me

This is the Myspace Profile for the Inquisitive Mind.
Do you sometimes wonder why it just does not work with your boy/girlfriend? Or, rather, does your mind keep floating on how you can possibly get motivated looking for a job or to get that assignment finished? Maybe, just maybe, you think about what the purpose of religion is or perhaps what those hooligans were thinking when demolishing your beautiful football stadium.
We attempt to look into those issues by giving an easy-access to everyday human behavior @ In-Mind. In-Mind Magazine is a young, exciting quarterly magazine for Social Psychology.
Check out the Inquisitive Mind here. The magazine’s purpose is designed to interact with everyone that is interested in everyday human concerns and to inform you on the hot trends in scientific social psychological research. However, our articles will not be in scientific language - we will focus on using regular, everyday language to keep you up-to-date. We will attempt to bridge the existing gap by relating important social psychological research to issues that catch your mind.
**Update - For the website, we are still seeking some non-social psychological staff members. If you are interested in a combination of computer science and marketing, we ask you to apply for our marketing position. In this position, you will engage in Search Engine Optimization and seek further ways to market our magazine effectively. Contact the the editor with your curriculum vitae and motivation. Please note that initially, all positions are voluntary.
Finally, we also offer free blogs for social psychologists. For minimum requirements and more details, please see the SoPsy Blog .
