 Psychological Study on high places
Posted by Uri Charles
September 2, 2013, 11:07 pm

I'm going to be undergoing a course where we have to create our own psychological studies. For mine, I've decided to do a study that looks at the feelings one gets when looking over a high place and feeling extremely unsafe. Some individuals briefly contemplate suicide and some back up even though they were never in danger.

Is this a viable study, and also would I just go around asking individuals how they felt at a high place? If they suffered depression? Take people on a trip to somewhere high, but safe? I'm not sure how to go about this.
