Research Blog 6: Visual aid

 


This is a chart I made based off of the information in an article, "When Did Your Dreams Come True?" in a New York Times blog by John Tierney. Tierney discusses a study conducted on over 900 people. The people were asked which theory of dreams they thought was the most accurate. An overwhelming majority (51%!) said they identified with Freudian dream theory, which says that dreams reveal hidden thoughts to us. 
Why it's important: The data proves that as of 2009, most people believe in Freudian dream theory. That shows that Freud's thoughts and opinions influence us significantly. Such information is important to the buildup of my paper in which I discuss Freud's cultural significance and how factors such as his Judaism affected his theories, thus affecting those who study and believe in his theories.
