My Disgusting Toes

Social psychology exam is tomorrow at 8:30 AM, which means a 6:00 AM wakeup so that I'm absolutely, positively not late. Right now I'm at the point where looking at the material I have to study makes me slightly queasy, and I'm only at page 11 out of 38 of the summary of the book. The summary, not the actual book. And I slacked so hard this semester, I was all like, "Pfft social psychology fuck that noise, I have naptimes! genetics homework."

Spotlight effect: People are not horrified by my totally disgusting toes even if I'm absolutely convinced they're staring at my feet and judging me.

Overjustification: Apparently if you have an objective (?) external incentive to do something, you preceive it as less fun? Seriously WTF-inducing, what is wrong with the human brain, IDEK. I wonder if it's related to the effect of not perceiving an action as altruistic/healthy/moral if you enjoy it.

This cover of that one song is pretty-sounding and also hilarious. A winning combination!

ETA: Ben Franklin effect: "I was rude to you, so you must be an asshole. Oh yeah? Well, FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE!"
