One byline
Everything on this site is written by Asst. Prof. Geetika Rai, who teaches these papers. There is no contributor pool, no ghost-writing agency, and no syndicated content. If a page exists, she wrote it.
This is stated because it is unusual, and because it is the main thing that should make you trust or distrust the material.
How a chapter is made
- Scope — the topics are drawn from what psychology syllabi across Indian universities actually prescribe, not from a single institution's list.
- Draft — written as teaching prose: the explanation a student needs to study from without having been at the lecture.
- Check — claims are checked against the literature. Where a widely taught claim does not survive that check, the chapter says so and explains why, rather than repeating it for an easy life.
- Sanitise — an automated check blocks publication if a draft contains a university name, an accreditation mapping, evaluation weightage, or internal production notes. Nothing institution-identifying ships.
- Publish — only when finished. Nothing is published as a stub.
On popular over-claiming
Psychology has a serious problem with findings that entered public teaching and then failed to replicate. Where this site teaches a contested claim, it marks it contested. Where a famous figure is wrong, it corrects it and shows the working.
That will sometimes put these notes at odds with what a lecture said. The reasoning is always given so that you can decide.
Sources
Where a claim rests on specific work, the work is named in the text. This is a study aid, not a journal article, so it does not carry a formal reference list — but nothing is asserted that could not be traced.
