Suggested Key-Word/ Subject Search Terms
One of the first
steps in creating a research plan is to select “key words” which
best describe the topic you plan to research.
If you are unfamiliar with
the terminology you may wish to refer to sources such as textbooks,
dictionaries, and other reference resources in the field of study. Contact your
instructor if you are unsure if a particular topic is appropriate. It is
usually wise to make sure if you are on target with your topic before you begin
to spend much time researching a project.
1.) Key terms to use
individually and in combination with each
other:
Psychology
Psych* (truncated version)
Behavior
Behavior* (truncated version)
Specific aspects such as:
Tests
Research
Specific behaviors or disorders:
Communication
Dementia
2.) Combine key words with
Boolean operators (and, or, not).
3.) Phrase terms ie: psychological testing can be searched by placing
the phrase in quotation marks “psychological testing”
