Do Birds of a Feather Flock together or do Opposites Attract? That’s the question we examine this week on the first video episode of The Psych Files.

I got a little ambitious and decided to do a video podcast. One of my favorite topics (I suppose many people’s favorite topics) has to do with how romantic relationships begin and why some relationships flourish while others don’t. Well, this is a topic that psychologists have studied in great depth and some time back I had one of my classes conduct a survey on the topic. So this video podcast has 3 parts: 1) a little background on 3 theories which relate to how relationships begin, 2) a quick overview of the survey my class and I created, and 3) a look at the results using a very neat new program called InspireData (from the Inspiration concept mapping people). I really had fun putting the video podcast together and I hope you find it informative. If you’ve got a moment let me know what you think.
