PsyPost
PsyPost is a psychology and neuroscience news website founded in 2010 by journalist Eric W. Dolan.[1]
History
PsyPost was launched in 2010 by Eric W. Dolan,[2] who holds a degree in psychology and has a background in journalism. Dolan created the site to bridge the gap between academic research and public understanding of the mind and behavior.
The publication is based in Roseville, California, and is privately owned and operated under PsyPost Media Inc.[3]
Content and coverage
PsyPost focuses on new research in psychology and related disciplines. The site publishes daily articles summarizing peer-reviewed studies on topics such as mental health, relationships, social behavior, cognition, personality, and political psychology.
Unlike many science news sites that rely heavily on university press releases, PsyPost says it selects and summarizes studies directly from academic journals.[4] Writers read the original research papers to create plain-language summaries, which often include explanations of methodology, context, and limitations. PsyPost emphasizes factual accuracy and source transparency.[5]
The site frequently highlights studies with social relevance or unusual findings. It frequently reports on research about psychedelic substances, gender and sexuality, political attitudes, and dark personality traits.[6]
