I am a psychology professor at Dickinson College (in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, USA). During Spring 2012 I taught an advanced undergraduate senior seminar called "Risk and Society" mainly focused on various social psychological topics. The assignment for my students to edit a Wikipedia page was in part inspired by this initiative: http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/members/aps-wikipedia-initiative.

My students edited the following Wikipedia pages:
 * Selective exposure theory
 * Terror management
 * Illusory correlation
 * Patient participation
 * Psychic numbing
 * Numeracy
 * Group polarization
 * Optimism bias
 * Availability heuristic
 * Fuzzy-trace_theory
 * Sympathy
 * Moral psychology
 * Gambler%27s_fallacy
 * Hot hand fallacy
 * Affect heuristic
