A Psychologist Research on Bathroom

A Psychologist Research on Bathroom:

A psychologist done a Research on Public bathrooms which is known as Bathroom Psychology and by using that research he identify how our mind reacts when we are in bathroom and what maximum of men think and what maximum of women think when there are in bathroom.

This part, on the history of theories regarding graffiti found in toilets, is as curious is it is bizarre(Conspicuously or grossly unconventional or unusual).

Toilet graffiti, dubbed ‘latrinalia’ by one scholar, has drawn attention from many researchers and theorists over the years. Many of them have focused on gender, using public lavatories as laboratories for studying sex differences in the content and form of these scribblings. Alfred Kinsey was one of the first researchers to enter the field, surveying the walls of more than 300 public toilets in the early 1950s and finding more erotic content in men’s and more romantic content in women’s. Later research has found that men’s graffiti also tend to be more scatological, insulting, prejudiced, and image-based, and less likely to offer advice or otherwise respond to previous remarks.

Theorists have struggled to explain differences such as these. True to his time, Kinsey ascribed them to women’s supposedly greater regard for social conventions and lesser sexual responsiveness. Psychoanalytic writers proposed that graffiti writing was a form of ‘phallic expression’ or that men pursued it out of an unconscious envy of women’s capacity for childbirth. Semioticians argued that men’s toilet graffiti signify and express political dominance, whereas women’s respond to their subordination. Social identity theorists proposed that gender differences in latrinalia reflect the salience of gender in segregated public bathrooms: rather than merely revealing their real, underlying differences, women and men polarise their behaviour in these gender-marked settings so as to exaggerate their femaleness or maleness.

This article looks funny but it shows we can identify the human behaviour also in silly ways. The upcoming posts of Psychtronics are coming with lot sense of humour to make you learn psychology without boring and have some fun.
