Using the CBC Library's Databases

Here are searches you can use that will help you find articles related to 3 module topics. Each uses the Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, a smaller more specialized database that works well for your topics. The searches have been limited to PDF format articles from scholarly journals.

Biopsychology: SUBJECT: ( neuropsychology or psychobiology or biopsychology or biological psychology or behavioral neuroscience or cognitive neuroscience or psychophysiology); add keywords on another line to explore subtopics. Ex. biopsychology AND post-traumatic stress, brain injury, mindfulness, sleep, addiction.
Learning SUBJECT: Learning or Conditioning; narrow with subtopic keywords. Ex. learning AND aggression, language, online education.
Stress: SUBJECT: Psychological Stress; narrow with subtopic keywords. Ex. stress AND college students, meditation, parenting, positive psychology.

This illustrates the result page for a search on the subject of Adverse Childhood Experiences:

Browse results and preview or open and scan to locate a peer-reviewed research article.

You can use the magnifying glass to peek at the abstract and then click the PDF to scan the whole article.

Alternately, you may pick any human psychology topic and search method you wish. You could try a OneSearch across the library databases, or you can use non-library search tools such as Google Scholar. If you choose to go this route you should already feel comfortable searching and identifying articles from scholarly journals (otherwise you should work closely with your instructor). In any case, make sure you don't have to pay for the article; if you have time you can request it from the library.
