Looking through the lens of 1000 lives: Prof Richie Poulton at TEDxDunedin

[@anjakeller6612]

Studying this in my psych class in Switzerland, just wanted to say thank you to all the loyal participants, it's a true treasure for the world.

Superb ongoing longitudinal human, independent, research and the current NZ government has helped with funding this year.And that much of this has been replicated in the USA and elsewhere.Forty years well done on the broader multidisciplinary picture.Thank goodness this all began before the neo-liberal , short term profit era.Very noble observational data, work and candid participation effects on the professor , the larger team and the subjects.

I was at this event and given that this study is tracking 1000+ people for 38 years so far in huge detail there is plenty of data out there. Most of the time that was what he was speaking about. You should look up the study.

[@jmocdxx]

Agreed. I would have rather heard a talk about how his study brought light to all of us, not just to him.:)

[@EveXD-lo2bn]

Jason DePolo it's a lot

[@guiray2000]

What would be good is if other researchers around the world could get access to some of the raw data to do their own studies too. So far I have found, this is not possible.

[@klasewiberg]

Ray VR, where have you looked. I’m interested as well. This is most interesting. My research is on adhd predictiors.

[@guiray2000]

@@klasewiberg I even wrote a few emails to that group but they won't answer. I guess they dont want to share their data.

En primer lugar: gracias y enhorabuena por vuestro trabajo. Soy profesor de Secundaria, muy interesado en la Psicología y me gustaría poder encontrar la documentación del estudio para aprender y poder ejercer mi profesión con más eficacia y seguridad, y contribuir a un desarrollo humano más justo y positivo. Por otro lado envidio que países -con sus jefes de Estado a la cabeza-, como EE.UU. y U.K. estén interesados en conocer y aplicar las conclusiones de su estudio para ayudar a sus conciudadanos. Es envidiable. En España nuestro políticos y empresarios se ocupan más de favorecer a que accedan a estos conocimientos y descubrimientos sólo los españoles que pertenecen a las clases sociales de nivel alto. Los hijos de los demás ciudadanos han de asistir a Centros Educativos donde todavía utilicen medios y métodos psicopedagógicos ya obsoletos. Muchas gracias por su ayuda.

This story is revealing about people a great study.

'For fear of appearing immodest' Why worry about appearing immodest when immodesty is your best quality.

Spoken like a boring professor. You can tell he loves the sound of his own voice. Pity because this is truly a landmark study with profound repercussions. Perhaps an essential pre-requisite of a Ph.D should be public speaking skills.

[@Ag8MrE]

Why? A PhD is a doctoral degree which is a research degree. If it weeds out those who are bad public speakers you'll potentially weed out the best scientists and researchers.

[@klasewiberg]

I do not agree. On the contrary I believe he is intreaged, a bit emotional and humble with a wink in his eye.

only boring people get bored. It's fascinating content at least. lift your concentration game
