3MT: Wendy Higgins sheds light on pitfalls of Psychological testing methods
Wendy Higgins is studying in the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Human Sciences at Macquarie University.
Her recent thesis has focused on a psychological testing method called the Reading the Mind In The Eyes Test, which is widely used to measure attention, anxiety, and emotion recognition in patients.
But Wendy Higgins’s findings suggest that this test, and several others, may not actually be as accurate as many in the field of psychology believe. Monday drive’s Curdie had the pleasure of speaking with Wendy about her research.
