I Have Known the Eyes Already: A Research Memoir

By Morgan Worthy

I am a retired psychologist. More than 40 years ago I started studying the relationship between eye color and behavior in humans and animals. In 1973, Newsweek had an article, The Eyes Have It, in their "Science" section, which was devoted to my research. That led to a lot of similar articles in other publications and interviews on radio and television. I was a guest on the show, To Tell the Truth. "Will the real Morgan Worthy please stand up?" This memoir is an attempt to let the real Morgan Worthy stand up. The beginning theme will deal with my role as a researcher trying to study a topic, eye color and behavior, outside the mainstream of current psychological research. Prior to 1974, I studied humans and animals; after 1974, all my research was of animals. Here, I want to give a final overview of those research findings and tell what happens to a fellow who wanders off the beaten path of current research.Then I want to tell, for the first time, about a personal research project that I undertook to understand why I kept injuring my right thumb. It took me 15 years to sort it out, but since 1991, I have not injured that thumb again. It all had to do with the curious fact that I am one of the few people who has been involved in three gun accidents. The first, and worst, happened more than 70 years ago; in fact, it happened Tuesday noon, the week before the Sunday morning attack on Pearl Harbor. Many lives were changed that week, and my life was no exception. I was five years old at the time...
