What a Literature Search Question (LSQ) Does
A good LSQ is a rhetorical tool that scholars can use to identify the scope of an investigation. For investigations in the field of psychology, LSQs are designed to ask about phenomena associated with the behavior, thoughts, and feelings relevant to the experiences of the target population. The scope is described in the LSQ in terms of the target population (age, gender, specific qualities related to the phenomena under investigation such as diagnosis, relationship status, and educational level); variables of interest (such as specific behaviors, attitudes, emotions); psychological concepts (stimulus-response, developmental stage, stigma); and phenomena under investigation.
The LSQ is presented as a question that researchers can bring to a specific body of literature to clarify the goals of the investigation. Your LSQ should be somewhat br

Personal Values Examination
Personal Values Examination
Use this exercise to clarify your core values. Having done so, you can apply the same clarification process to any theory or model you read about in this course.
Think of one of your core values. Then write down answers to the following questions:
- Was this a value you chose freely?
- How did you make a personal decision to make it a core value? Or did you adopt it from your family or culture?

How do you select one brand over another? When faced with these options, is it a choice among real alternatives? In the case of your core value, which alternatives did you consider before deciding this value was cor
