The aim of this research study is to test the Stroop effect. The Stroop effect was first stablished by J. Ridley Stroop when he discovered a phenomenon in which people had a little difficulty when naming the color of the word. The “Speed of Processing” model states that the reading response occurs faster than the color-naming response, arguing that at the moment of receiving a task involving color-naming, the word stimuli receives the response before the word stimuli, leading to disorientation.…

When there is an emergency situation, people are more likely to help if there are less people…

2007). Since the early 2000s, the media has propagated the myth that television shows like CSI, which use forensic science, have created a “CSI Effect.” If this CSI Effect were true, it would dismantle the jury system and create real questions concerning the reliability of the decision making process. In this paper, it will be argued that the CSI Effect is nothing more than a media myth and the evidence…
