Assignment task:
Consider the domain of psychology most relevant to you. Within this domain, choose a topic you want to know more about or that is especially relevant to your personal/career goals.

In your post:
1. Identify the (a) psychology domain and (b) topic of interest.
2. Briefly describe what you did to find the two articles (i.e., what database you used, what your search terms and parameters were).
