We have different sections of the site that are labeled according to what kinds of information you may find in that section. For instance, in our News section, you're only going to find news articles about new studies and research (no opinion pieces). In our mental health library, we offer mostly reference content, generally-speaking, that discusses various mental health disorders, their treatments, and psychological issues. (There are two exceptions to that -- we also publish book reviews in our library, and personal stories. Both are the opinions and views of their respective authors.)

For any blog, including our World of Psychology blog, you're going to find opinion mixed in with information about interesting research, or perspectives from news-related items. However, every blog item is always going to represent only the perspective of the author, and not of Psych Central.

I apologize that things aren't always 100 percent clear-cut in starting to read an article about what kind of article it may be. We've tried to help that more recently by putting "breadcrumbs" above the title of the article you're reading, which should help indicate whether it's a blog or news item more clearly. Some of this is due to just being around for so long, the buckets of categories we used in the past aren't always as useful as they could be...

Thanks for the feedback, and we'll work harder to make it clear when you're in someone's blog, or somewhere else, so you can better set your expectations about the article.
