The Psychology 1010N Inquiry Project

The Psychology 1010N Inquiry Project is a collaborative effort on the part of the members of Psychology 1010N courses over the past five years at York University. Our initial goal in 2007 was to create a dynamic set of resources for the study of each of 30 psychological issues identified by the members of that first class. The following years' classes identified additional issues for study, and the results of the work of the most recent class can be found on the pages linked below. The 2012 class will build on the work of the previous ones and identify additional issues around which to collect resources. Each existing set of resources includes a list of references to material that would be valuable to someone seeking to write a professional paper on the issue of interest. Each set is accompanied by an explanation of how the particular inquiry question evolved and in what way each resource might be valuable to someone interested in the question. Each resource set is presented in the fashion that seemed most appropriate to the group of students responsible for collecting the resources, but all contain references to books, journal articles, websites and other appropriate sources. Some groups have compiled their resources on a single page; others have created links to separate pages for each element of the issue they wish to address. Most pages include the names of the group members who collaborated in compiling and annotating the resources.

Any readers who wish additional information on the project are encouraged to contact, Ron Sheese, the Course Director of Psychology 1010N.
