Psychology 1230. Lecture 6: Methods I11Term Paper Handout #6l Note that I have limited the number of Internet references—largely for 2 reasons:l The Internet does not subject items it “publishes” to peer review, as do most journals—unless, of course, the Internet reference is a published article.l One should be familiar with the important search engines in one’s field—and PsycInfo is ours. Get on and get in!l Referencing online material (general form; Publication manual, 2001, p. 223 ):l Online periodical:Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (2000). Title of article.

I (Summary evaluation due on Monday, September 19th ). You might have read that males between their mid teens and mid twenties commit a disproportionate number of serious traffic violations and crimes against persons and property.

Some have argued that Freud was all wet because he focused too much on the role of sex in development. Do you think that he was “all wet” on this issue? You might address the following sub issues: What do you think about the importance of sex in our lives? What did Freud mean by sex? Feel free to comment on other discussant’s replies.Psychology 1230.

The instructor is tall, dark, and reasonably upright for an old person.The less good: Who cares about the ancient past? We want sex, drugs, & violence, not history.And if you are going to talk about the “father” of adolescent psychology, why not talk about the mother as well—or are you a sexist?Is it necessary to talk about Hall’s sexual practices? Sex is holly, and belongs in the bedroom.Stick with English; your German rendition of “storm and stress” would make Goethe turn in his grave.I really don’t understand what salt story (is that how you pronounced it?) has to do with growth, or have you confused this course with naval sciences.Use larger print size on your slides. I have 20/10 vision, and your slides are all a big blur to me.Psychology 1230. Lecture 6: Methods I410Supplementary ReadingsHartmann, D. P., & Pelzel, K. (2005).
