In the peer-reviewed section, you have the actual research study that asks, “Is the Belief in a Just World Rational?”; a study about the relationship between “Children of Divorce and its Effect on their Self Esteem”; one about “Relation of Self-acceptance and Acceptance of Others”; another about the moon “Lunar Phase and Acting Out Behavior,” and many more. In another section named “Book Appendices,” there are two actual studies that answer the question “Psychics! Do Police Departments Really Use Them?” In the “Book Review” section are published critiques on books entitled: “The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rules our Lives” by Leonard Mlodinow; “Crimes Against Logic: Exposing the Bogus Arguments of Politicians, Priests, Journalists, and other Serial Offenders” by Jamie Whyte; C.
