I am a psychology professor at Dickinson College (in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, USA). During Spring 2012 I taught an advanced undergraduate senior seminar called "Risk and Society" mainly focused on various social psychological topics. The assignment for my students to edit a Wikipedia page was in part inspired by this initiative: http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/members/aps-wikipedia-initiative.

My students edited the following Wikipedia pages:

• Selective exposure theory
• Terror management
• Illusory correlation
• Patient participation
• Psychic numbing
• Numeracy
• Group polarization
• Optimism bias
• Availability heuristic
• Fuzzy-trace_theory
• Sympathy
• Moral psychology
• Gambler's_fallacy
• Hot hand fallacy
• Affect heuristic
