The Psychology of Solar Flares Discussed
You may not have ever considered it, but there might be some sort of correlation between solar flares and human behavior. Consider if you will some of the evidence for solar system happenings and human behavior, for instance, we do know that on very hot days [heat comes from the Sun] there are more road rage calls into the Highway Patrol, and you can even study this for yourself, when the weather is very hot and muggy, or just plain wicked hot you will notice more aggressive driving, and see more people using their middle finger gestures more.
Now then, try this out sometime because I have done this. When you witness bad driving behavior around our town, or out on the highway, do what I do – I always go home that night and look up on the Internet to see if there has been any major solar flare activity at SpaceWeather [dot] com. And nine times out of 10 there has been. There was an interesting research project done at the University of New Mexico on this topic, and they did find a correlation between solar flares, and the violent and non-premeditated crimes.
This study confirms what I believe I’d already discovered. It is also my contention that psychologists who want to get their degrees, should study this phenomena, rather than duplicating all the past psychological research on silly things like bullying, drug addiction, and child abuse. It’s not that those things are not also unfortunate, rather it is that they have been studied to death.
One thing I do not understand is that when you go on to Google Scholar and search this topic there are very few research papers or scientific reports with empirical data, and there should be more, many more. It has often been said, and you can ask just about any police officer, that on a full moon there will be more crimes reported, ambulance first responder personnel, and even emergency room doctors and nurses will tell you the same.
Now this could be for many different reasons, such as on a full moon it’s easier to see people committing crimes, people would rather commit crimes on a full moon so they don’t trip over themselves in the darkness are stealing something, or there is some type of primal instinct in the brain which causes people to misbehave during full moons. Nevertheless, there is a correlation. Isn’t it time we started studying these things? Please consider all this.
