Psychological Effects of Religious Practice

Finding Psychology Articles

Article Databases

Search Tips

1. Use your keywords in "All Text" dropdown fields (in most databases) for more results (good for more esoteric or topics with apparently less "out there". Use keywords in the "Title" dropdown for more targeted searches (good for larger topics).
2. If doing a search using phrases, use quotation marks...i.e. "psychotherapy and religion"
3. Pay close attention to "subject terms" of database records. Subject headings are also used in the library catalog. They are universally defined and applied terms that can be clicked on for very specific results, and can also be searched in the "subject" drop down menu in the catalog advanced search, or "subject terms" dropdown in databases.
4. Also pay attention to, and take note of lists of references at the ends of articles. These can be very valuable, especially for research topic searches that produce more limited results
