Okay, so I wanted to find out who won the “Kuwait Prize 2023 in Psychology.” It seemed straightforward, but it turned into a bit of a rabbit hole.

First, I fired up Google. I typed in “Kuwait Prize 2023 in Psychology,” expecting a simple list. Nope. I got a bunch of general pages about the Kuwait Prize, but nothing specific about the 2023 winners, especially not in psychology.
Then I tried narrowing the search. I added quotes, used different combinations of keywords like “winner,” “recipient,” “2023,” and “psychology.” Still, I kept getting general information about the prize itself, past winners in other fields, or news articles about the call for nominations.
Digging Deeper
Next, I decided to check the official website, I thought that would be it, so I searched “official website for the Kuwait Prize” and after going through many websites I was finally in the correct one.
- I went through the announcements section. I figured if they announced the winners, it would be there.
- I browsed page after page. Lots of stuff, just not what I wanted. I saw other fields and winners, I know the website well.
Changing My Approach
Since the direct approach wasn’t working, I thought maybe a news outlet might have covered it. So I went back to Google and searched for “Kuwait Prize 2023 Psychology news.” More general news, nothing concrete. I also found names of nominees.
I also tried different academic databases, thinking maybe a psychology journal or association would have mentioned it. I spent a good chunk of time on that, and it was a dead end. I was starting to feel like I was going in circles.
At this point, I realized that either the information isn’t publicly available yet, or maybe my search skills need some work! It’s possible the winners were announced very recently, and the information hasn’t been widely disseminated online. Maybe there’s no winner!.
I will update as soon as I got the correct information.
