by sophia eliopoulosHave you ever experienced a memory you were convinced was correct, but later found out it was actually false? The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where a large number of people retain a memory of an event or fact, when actually it did not occur. (Cuncic, 2020). This phenomenon was first observed in 2009. Researcher and author Fiona Broome was at a conference speaking about how she remembered the tragedy of Nelson Mandela’s death in a South African prison in the 1980s. However, after some discussion with her peers at the conference, Broome realised that Mandela did not die in prison in the 1980s. He, in fact, passed away in 2013, 23 years after his release from prison (Cuncic, 2020).

by eilidh McnaughtonWhy do people care about justice? Why do people some people care about justice more than others? What do people consider as fair and unfair? These are some typical questions that psychological justice research has been exploring for many years. Research seeking to understand what underlies individual people's views of justice have mainly focussed on three topics: Justice motivations, personality traits, and the “moral self” (Gollwitzer & van Prooijen, 2016).
