Article Ideas

Here are a couple of topics from chapter 12 that might be of interest:

We had discussed choosing an idea so we could study how it changed over time. One idea I found is depth psychology, which is a part of psychology that focuses on the unconscious mind . Its page is very sparse and there are a lot of areas that could be elaborated on. Its page also has a few warnings that we could fix.

I know we had mentioned choosing a person might be difficult if we cannot find information of them, but I think William Stern could be an interesting choice. He has done a lot of work in personality psychology studying individuality and has also invented a machine to study human perception of sound. His current page talks mostly about his personal life and only mentions a few of his discoveries. I think there will be plenty of information available about his work and accomplishments so we won't be lacking for sources.

Hi Samantha,

I really like both of those ideas. I think it would be great to work on the topic of depth psychology, especially if the page is really lacking information and has warnings that could be fixed. I also looked into William Stern while reading through our chapter, I noticed both his and Gardner Lindzey's wiki pages were pretty scarce, but I found William Stern's work to be more interesting.

Since we both found William Stern to be of interest, would you be ok with the topic of him being our first choice of topics? And then depth psychology could be our second choice if neither of us finds any other topics that we would like to do, while researching today?

Brooke,

That plan sounds good to me. After looking into his work, William Stern seems like an interesting person to research and I think it would be fun to read about all of his work. Depth psychology is a good second choice. I didn't find anything else that I was more interested in from the rest of the chapter, and if you are interested in both of those options, I am fine with keeping them for our project.

Ok, so our first choice will be William Stern, and our second choice will be depth perception. Brooke.hubert (talk) 21:25, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
