P. Scott Richards, PhD., retired in 2019 as professor of counseling psychology at Brigham Young University and is the Director of Research for the Center for Change in Orem, Utah.His research encompasses spirituality, eating disorders, online assessment, and mental health, and his many publications include authored and edited books published by the American Psychological Association. WE CAN STOP BIG TECH NOW! Google-and-the-Gang probably stole the 2020 election without people knowing and without leaving a paper trail. No law can stop them, but monitoring systems, like the ones Dr. Epstein set up in 2016, 2018, & 2020, can. By exposing their manipulations, we can get them to back off. If we don’t monitor, we will be surrendering our democracy to Big Tech – possibly forever.

WE CAN STOP BIG TECH NOW! Google-and-the-Gang probably stole the 2020 election without people knowing and without leaving a paper trail. No law can stop them, but monitoring systems, like the ones Dr. Epstein set up in 2016, 2018, & 2020, can. By exposing their manipulations, we can get them to back off. If we don’t monitor, we will be surrendering our democracy to Big Tech – possibly forever.AIBRT - SUPPORT

He will be greatly missed. * _LANDMARK PAPER:_ A report entitled "The Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME) and Its Possible Impact on the Outcomes ofElections
" was
published as a 10-page feature research article in the _Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA _in August 2015. The article summarizes recent experiments by AIBRT researchers which demonstrate the enormous power that search rankings have to alter the voting preferences of undecided voters - enough to determine the outcomes of upwards of 25 percent of the world's national elections. Discovered in 2013, SEME is one of the largest behavioral effects ever observed. It also is almost entirely undetectable as a means of social influence, which makes it especially dangerous. * _FIRST ARABIC TRANSLATION:_ An Arabic translation of AIBRT's popular sexual orientation test has now been posted online.

The new study has drawn media attention worldwide , including coverage by the _Washington Post_, the _Daily Mail_ (UK), Al Jazeera, BBC News, and the _Times of India_. A technical report summarizing the results of five experiments on this topic is underreview.
* _PROTECTING INTERNET PRIVACY WITH A CLICK REQUIREMENT. _AIBRT researchers recently reported the results of a study that looks at how likely people are to reveal personal informion online when they are informed beforehand about how that information might be used. Key finding: Warnings alone don't have much impact, but when you require people to click to acknowledge that they have read the warning, they withhold a great deal of personal information. Overall, internet users appear to be revealing nearly 40 percent more personal information than they would if they knew the risks. * _HOW BEST TO FIGHT STRESS. _AIBRT researchers recently reported the results of a major new study with 10,745 subjects in 42 countries which compared the effectiveness of four important ways of fighting stress. Key findings: proactive, preventative methods are better than reactive methods, and, contrary to popular belief, low stress has clear advantages over moderate stress. * _MATURITY ACROSS THE LIFE SPAN. _AIBRT researchers recently reported the results of a major new study with 55,761 subjects in 59 countries which looked at how adult competencies change from childhood to old age. Key findings: 30 percent of teens appear to be more competent than the median adult across a wide range of adult abilities. Teens in general appear to be nearly as competent as adults, but adults greatly underestimate the abiliies of teens. __
* _NEW INSIGHTS ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION. _ In November 2013, AIBRT researchers presented three papers at the 56th annual meeting of "Quad-S," the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality. Among issues being addressed: How can researchers survey a population without underestimating the proportion of non-heterosexuals? In many societies, after all, people are under enormous pressure to represent themselves as straight, no matter what their actual inclincations. * _DO YOU NEED THERAPY? _ Released in May 2013, the new version of our mental health referral test was updated to meet the standards of the DSM-5, the latest diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association. The new version of the test is also jargon-free and easy to read. It quickly screens for 21 of the most prevalent mental and behavioral disorders and helps people get the help they need. For more information, visit http://DoYouNeedTherapy.com. * _MANIPULATING ELECTIONS. _AIBRT researchers presented a landmark study on this topic at the May 2013 meeting of the Association for Psychological Science in Washington, D.C. The new study showed that the preferences of undecided voters can be shifted dramatically toward one candidate or another by manipulating online search rankings associated with each candidate. * _THE PROBLEM WITH SEXUAL ORIENTATION LABELS. _In April 2013, AIBRT researchers presented a study with more than 54,000 people in 57 countries that quantifies the mismatch between the sexual orientation labels people use and their actual sexual fantasies, attractions, and behaviors. For many people, the mismatch is substantial. One surprising finding: Self-labeled straights feel distress when they don't behave straight, but self-labeled bisexuals and gays don't care much about behaving in ways that are inconsistent with their labels.__
* _COMMENTARY ON "EMERGING ADULTHOOD." _Released in the January 2013 issue of _Scientific American Mind_, a critique by AIBRT researcher Robert Epstein of the idea that a new stage of life now exists between ages 18 and 25. The article is called, "Yet AnotherStage of Life

The study prioritized 36 different factors that can lead to the growth of love. The most important factors? Sacrifice and commitment. * _PREDICTING AMERICA'S FUTURE_. In the October 2012 issue of _Discover_ magazine, AIBRT researcher Robert Epstein used Sex RatioTheory
to predict America's social and political future over the next 25 years. His prediction? An increasingly moderate social andpolitical climate.
* _LANDMARK STUDY ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION. _Published in the _Journal of Homosexuality_, a study with nearly 18,000 people in 48 countries supporting Kinsey's assertion that sexual orientation lies on a continuum. Other major findings: (1) Few people - possibly even less than 10 percent of the population - are exclusively straight or gay throughout their lives. (2) People differ not only in where their interests anchor on the Sexual Orientation Continuum - their "Mean Sexual Orientation" (MSO) - but also in their "Sexual Orientation Range" (SOR) - roughly, how much flexibility they have in expressing their sexual orientation. You can find out where you are on the continuum and how large your range is at http://MySexualOrientation.com. * _COMPETENCY TEST FOR PARENTS OF TEENS. _The new Epstein Teen Parenting Inventory (ETPI), developed with AIBRT intern Gina Kirkish of the University of California San Diego, is now accessible at http://TeenParentingSkills.com.
