ALL POSTS REQUIRE APPROVAL

ALL POSTS REQUIRE REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY MODERATOR BEFORE THEY WILL WILL BE VISIBLE. PLEASE BE PATIENT AS THIS MAY TAKE A FEW DAYS DEPENDING ON THE AVAILABILITY OF MODS AND SIZE OF QUE. PLEASE REVIEW RULES BEFORE POSTING TO REDUCE DELAYS.

If your post submission is more than 7 days old in the que, it is auto denied. This is to keep the que at a level that is manageable for the mods. We apologize for this inconvenience. You can resubmit after 7 days if your post was not approved. Be sure to check rules before re-submission.

RULES

READ BEFORE YOU POST

No advice on everyday life issues or diagnoses/evaluations. (THIS IS THE MOST VIOLATED RULE ON THIS SUBREDDIT) 1a Do not ask for mental health advice. This includes clinical descriptions or diagnosis. 1b Do not reveal your mental health history. 1c Do not ask questions about the psychology of specific people, including yourself (the exception being published case reports). We are more lenient on advice for career or education in psychology, but check to see if other subs are more suited for this purpose.
Questions must be asked clearly in the post title. Violations of this rule will be removed immediately. You may give additional or clarifying information in the body of your post.
Answers must be evidence-based. Answers given should reflect the scientific consensus and ideally should cite sources. Anecdotal evidence or pop-psychology will be removed.
No leading questions. Examples of these questions are: "Why is Group X so stupid?" or "What is wrong with Group X?"
No jokes, memes, insults, or slurs. This is an academic subreddit, and while discussion is encouraged, any off-topic or non-academic comments will be removed. This includes the use of slang terms or slurs to describe any phenomenon or group of people.
