Psych 458 - Questions to ponder, 6/1/99

IMPORTANT: The web address for the reading has changed:

http://www.outsidemag.com:80/magazine/0996/9609feev.html

 

The article you are reading for this class is definitely not like the others you have read. It was written for a commercial magazine aimed at people who like outdoor activities, rather than psychologists, psychology students or decision researchers. (The article was later expanded into a best-selling general market book.) There is really only one question for this reading: What have you learned in this course that is relevant to the decisions made by the Everest climbers? Come prepared to discuss your answer in class; there is room for you to make notes below.
