Browse by Category

Simply Put Psych covers both foundational psychology and the more interesting places it leaks into culture, technology, ideology, grief, health, and play.

Foundations

Classic & Contemporary Psychology

Core theory, major thinkers, essential concepts, and the psychological ideas most students keep having to revisit.

Games

Psychology of Videogames

Game mechanics, player behaviour, identity, narrative, immersion, and the psychological strange bits that make play so compelling.

Media

Mind Over Media

Television, film, internet culture, parasocial mess, and the psychology hiding inside media that people like to pretend is harmless.

Health

Health & Wellbeing

Psychology, coping, stress, health behaviour, emotional life, and the less polished side of trying to keep yourself together.

Global

Global Psychology

Psychology beyond narrow defaults, including culture, context, politics, and the problems that show up when people act like the local is universal.

Study Tools

Make the academic admin less ridiculous

If you are here for classic theory, concepts, and coursework, the Core and Premium tools help with the jobs psychology students keep meeting again: APA tables, graphs, results sentences, references, templates, and the little formatting chores that somehow become a personality test.

Gaming Psychology

For when games start behaving like psychology experiments

Gaming Psych looks at player behaviour, identity, immersion, moral choice, difficulty, attention, and the strange little systems that make play more psychologically revealing than it probably intended to be.

Lab Suite

Turn psychology from an idea into something you can actually run

The Simply Put Lab Suite gives students and teachers four browser-based psychology lab suites for reaction time, perception, memory, attention, and cognitive bias. Useful when reading about experiments is not quite enough and building one from scratch sounds like punishment with extra buttons.

From The Daisy Chain

Turn media psychology into an actual event

Mind Over Media is where film, television, fandom, internet culture, parasocial mess, horror, heroes, and moral panic all get dragged into the psychological light. The Daisy Chain turns that same territory into quizzes, movie-night kits, printable events, and free games for PsychSocs and students.

Good for psychology societies, student socials, film nights, quizzes, and anyone who likes their fun with a little more cognitive distortion.
Beginner Course

UK politics, without the ceremonial fog machine

Global Psychology looks at culture, politics, identity, power, and the danger of pretending one local worldview is just how people are. If you want a clearer grip on the UK political system itself, this beginner course explains the basics without requiring a tolerance for parliamentary theatre.

Study Support

Psychology study support without the admin spiral

Health & Wellbeing covers coping, stress, behaviour, emotion, and the less polished side of trying to keep yourself together. Premium is the practical support layer: tools, templates, APA helpers, and study resources for when the assignment is not impossible, just surrounded by formatting, references, and quiet dread.
