Help for you and help for him - Prof. Richard Wiseman at the University of Hertfordshire (http://www.psy.herts.ac.uk/wiseman/resolutions/opening.html)
I just did, and I cannot work out how it can possibly give any useful results. I mean the research project - the questions - etc - not the act of resoluting. Still I'll wait and see if the email throws any more light on it.
Better maybe to run our own non-scientific thread.
So if you are resolving, post it here.
But, but I haven't set a new year's resolution since---well, actually, I do not recall ever making one... ::)
My skeptical mindset, I guess-- it's just another day, after all. Calenders are human constructs .. <heh>
That was one of my difficulties with the questionnaire. I never have either. ;D
My conclusion, Wiseman is not.
I once knew of a man called Rusty Legge.
And a cook called Mr.Bacon.
