New UC Berkeley Study Examines Public/Private Dichotomy
Recent research conducted by Berkeley sociology professor Dr. Mia L. Greene showed that all the participants in her ten year study had "a history of abnormal behavior." Here is a brief summary of the thesis of the study: "While startling and often embarrassing revelations about the private lives of politicians, pro athletes, and celebrities surface on a routine basis, our research indicates that Americans out of the public eye also have a lot to hide," said Berkeley sociology professor Dr. Mia L. Greene, who headed the 10-year study. "Surprisingly, famous people aren't the only ones participating in shady business dealings, substance abuse, and peculiar sexual activities."This study isn't surprising to me in any way. Everyone has some type of behavior that falls outside of the norm, and with a sample size as small as Greene used, it seems obvious that everyone would have some odd type of behavior to classify. Full details of the study, including case studies in the above link. The study also delved into perceptional issues, including the reaction of people who were informed of the results of the study: Muriel Woodbridge of Norfolk, VA said she'll never think of anyone she knows in the same way again.
