…come together in a number of places on the web. Firstly, if you want to follow some of the ‘top’ psychology tweets, then why not check out the current top twenty-five psychology tweets in the world. For an academic analysis of the psychology behind Twitter, Psychology Today published a rather interesting article back in March 2009. More articles can be found using UEL’s journal databases, with a search across Academic Search Complete, PsycINFO and PsycARTICLES for ‘twitter’ finding over 1200 full-text articles from the last two years. Clearly this is becoming a hot topic in academia!
On a more fun note, you can generate a ‘psychological profile’ of any Twitter account using tweetpsych.com. I have no idea what kind of scientific basis the ‘profiles’ have, but it is nonetheless rather entertaining to see how positive, negative, constructive, anxious, money-obsessed, controlling, social etc. an individual Twitter user is relative to other users.
