Good
Psychology
today is a good website, because it offers a vast amount of
information. There are many different topics to read about including
personality problems, family life, personal growth, and mental health
just to name a few. It not only offers general information about
therese topics, it also provides articles from psychologists. Another
good thing about this site, is that it is interactive and you can
take multiple quizzes.
Like
Psychology Today, APA offers a great amount of information. It is a
very reliable source because they are a professional organization
that represents psychology. They also have more than 154,000 members.
It is very easy to navigate their website if you have any questions.
It's also very useful that they have news articles, which allows
anyone to be updated on recent psychology information.
Though
Psychology.org only has seven topics on their main page (career,
people and history, environment behavior, organizations, resources,
theories, and underlying reductionistic machinery), it is
a good site because it leads people to other helpful psychology
sites.
This provides very interesting psychology articles. They don't just have
articles about new research and such, but interesting topics such as
“Why
People’s Names Are So Hard to Remember”
and “Unusual
Thinking Styles Increase Creativity”
This is a good website, because it not only offers articles, quizzes, and
information. It also has a variety of videos you can watch on
psychology which is always nice if you get tired of reading endless
articles.
Bad
This is a bad website because it promoting people to self diagnose instead
of seeking professional help. It is true that when we are curious
about a condition one may have their first instinct is to look up
information on the web, but one can only research so much before
asking a professional. They also have a section called “can you
trust this information?” which is something a credible site
shouldn’t have to include.

This
site contains information on psychiatric medication. This is useful
information to have, but the content seems unreliable.
This
site contains very little information on general psychology and is
mostly consisted of the essays by the creator of the site. The site
doesn’t have very interesting topics, and the information is all
very dry. At the bottom of the site there is also a link to donate
money to the creators of the site, which seems a little
untrustworthy.
This
site is about the psychology of road rage. It contains statistics,
articles, and facts about road rage. It is an interesting topic, but
the site is very had to navigate and if you have specific questions,
you're not sure where to search.
Instead
of giving solid facts, the most of the information is in hypothetical
situations.
