PSY3901 Week 2 Discussion 1 - Consider the domain of psychology

PSY3901 week 2 disc1

Consider the domain of psychology most relevant to you. Within this domain, choose a topic you want to know more about or that is especially relevant to your personal/career goals. Find two peer-reviewed research articles that add to scientific knowledge on the topic. Be sure to attach the articles to your post.

In your post:

1. Identify the (a) psychology domain and (b) topic of interest.

2. Briefly describe what you did to find the two articles (i.e., what database you used, what your search terms and parameters were).

3. Summarize (a) the purpose of the articles and (b) what you learned about the topic of interest based on the study results.

Pro-tip: choose a topic that could be relevant to a future research proposal (i.e., an assignment in Experimental Psychology II).
