How to find the article with the measures you completed
![Page 10: Doing & Applying Research](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56816765550346895ddc4608/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Explore what’s in the Abstract
• ‘Abstract’ –– most efficient way to decide relevance of
article for your assignment• ‘Subject’ – useful to explore other potentially relevant
keywords • Identifier
![Page 11: Doing & Applying Research](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56816765550346895ddc4608/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Students experiment with search page
• Find an article given year and author information – Barling, Weber, Kelloway, 1996• Note: remember to specify as author in the option
setting
![Page 12: Doing & Applying Research](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56816765550346895ddc4608/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Open the Barling et al 1996 article
• What’s in the method section?• What’s in the result section?
![Page 13: Doing & Applying Research](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56816765550346895ddc4608/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Go back to exploring the abstract of the Barling et al 1996 article
• Who do THEY cite?– In the article
• Who cites them?– In the database
• What topics are related to their articles?– Useful to find ‘other’ factors affecting your skill
![Page 14: Doing & Applying Research](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56816765550346895ddc4608/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Search for articles about training your skill
• Starting with articles you already found– Use the subject identifiers mentioned there
• Type your term in the search page– But use correct subject identifier • E.g., self-monitoring vs. self monitoring
• Using the thesaurus page to get correct subject identifier

Why use the Thesaurus• Useful to align your search words with
keywords that PsycINFO uses in the database
![Page 17: Doing & Applying Research](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56816765550346895ddc4608/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Options when using the Thesaurus• Contain word(s) - great if you’re not sure what the
terms used are (e.g., attitudes toward authority comes up with 0 hits)
• Begins with – beneficial if you are more certain about your search words

Students do the same for own topic
• Generate a list of technical terms relevant to your topic
– Use the PsycInfo worksheet to help organize your keywords/lay terms
![Page 24: Doing & Applying Research](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56816765550346895ddc4608/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Other ways of identifying Useful Technical Terms/Subject Headings with Thesaurus
• Recall, we chose the “Begins With” display option before– This gives us related subject headings organized
alphabetically• Try using alternative “display options" to display
results in a different way.– Contains – Any subject headings which contain the search
words
![Page 25: Doing & Applying Research](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56816765550346895ddc4608/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Students: Practice using Thesaurus
• Use the thesaurus to identify useful subject headings for your practice topic
• Familiarize yourself with the thesaurus option– EXPLORE!!!

Other Search Options – I
• Methodology:– Open to using any– ‘Literature review’ would probably be mostuseful both for understanding the research in the topic and for finding relevant articles (look at the citations list)
![Page 27: Doing & Applying Research](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062222/56816765550346895ddc4608/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Other Search Options – II
• Feel free to play around with ‘age groups’, ‘target audience’ if you feel e.g. that studies on children can be applicable to your own personal growth

Other Tips
• Go back to the articles mentioned in the questionnaire– Look up the citations from the paper to find
relevant articles
