Helping Give Away Psychological Science (HGAPS pronounced as two syllables: "H-Gaps") is a student-based non-profit (501c3) that is dedicated to helping the best information about psychological science reach the people who would benefit. Our goal is to build small groups to improve the information about psychology on Wikipedia, on other online sites, and in the community. We aim to make our resources reach the level of the best college textbook on the topic and help the general public, clinicians, clients, and educators each find high quality resources quickly. Other perks of joining HGAPS are having a great resume booster, professional development opportunities, and the chance to network with other students and researchers. You do not have to be a psychology major to join! This semester we will be working on wikipedia pages focusing on debunking popular myths about psychology.
We will be analyzing:
Famous Psychologists and the Media
The Accuracy of Personality Tests
The Accuracy of Standardized Tests
The Intersection of the Internet and Psychology
Self-diagnosis of Clinical Disorders
If any of these topics interest you, we will be having our second interest meeting on Thursday, February 11 from 6:00PM-6:30PM. Please fill out this form if you plan on coming and we will email you a Zoom link ). If you have any other questions about HGAPS, please feel free to email us at hgaps.umd@gmail.com.
