вЂњNon-fiction subtitlesвЂќ has been a particular peccadillo for me-a lot of the publishing industryвЂ™s marketing for nonfic subtitles serves to expand the target market of a book into the low-hanging fruit of the Self-Improvement section they are so aggressively self-actualizing, so boldly declaratory, so omnipresent, that I now ignore them completely. This book is unsubstantiated bullshit, that plays to every notion of 'common sense' and reinforces existing bias.ДЄnd the thought experiment on pp 224-226, in which two men 'decide to reward their wives with a gift of cosmetics' is puerile and offensive.more Also, when testing several potential covariates no significant effects could be found. 'In contrast to the early studies that often did not meet (high) methodological standards (e.g., Schauss, 1979 Pellegrini et al., 1981), in a highly standardized and controlled experiment, we did not find any differences between white and Baker-Miller pink painted prison cells in respect to rated aggressive level and actual aggressive behavior. Implications and limitations of the experiment are discussed. The results do not replicate the original findings and thus challenge the recent adoption in many prisons. In the present study we question the applied methods of the original studies and run a highly standardized and controlled experiment to test the influence of Baker-Miller pink on aggressive behavior. This recent development is based on early findings of more than 30 years ago suggesting that Baker-Miller pink reduces physical strength and thus aggressive behavior. Many prisons across Western countries recently began to paint detention cells in Baker-Miller pink to calm down aggressive inmates. Here's a link to an open access article reporting on a recent (2014) study of this very phenomenon:

3)Д«ut here's the thing: there is no evidence to suggest the color pink does that. The book is named after, and begins with, the 'popular culture sensation' that visual exposure to the colour pink decreases male aggression, a premise that 'emerged as the unlikely solution to a host of difficult puzzles, from aggression and hyperactivity to anxiety and competitive strategy.'

Look, the title of the book exemplifies the problem, here. The whole book makes huge sweeping judgements with no evidence and no references. Drunk Tank Pink proves that the truth behind our feelings and actions goes much deeper than the choices we take for granted every day.more Armed with surprising data and endlessly fascinating examples, Adam Alter addresses the subtle but substantial ways in which outside forces influence us-such as colorвЂ™s influence on mood, our bias in favor of names with which we identify, and how sunny days can induce optimism as well as aggression. Most of us go through life believing that we are in control of the choices we make, that we think and behave almost independently from the world around us, but as Drunk Tank Pink illustrates, the truth is our environment shapes our thoughts and actions in myriad ways without our permission or even our knowledge.
