Hi Sara! -kaylee
Hi, This is Dr. D. I have reviewed, briefly, the interesting articles you have posted to your queue and find these articles very doable: Mental health, and Addictive personality The others are "iffy" or not doable: Personality—too broad, Arousal-already taken by another student, and Agreeableness—too narrow for relating to the history of psychology Although this article is relevant to the history of psychology, it needs a lot of tweaking: , and Maturity (psychological). For that reason, I believe that you would be taking on a big load in making it relevant for the history of psychology. Although that can be done, it is a big challenge and I believe beyond the scope of our course time available. You have two excellent choices. I suggest that you select one of those two, given my comments, and focus on it for your project. WebFlower1 (talk) 16:48, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
