Finding Articles for the Psychology Laboratory Report
Psychology Assignment 代写
There is a great amount of psychology available on the internet. Search
engines will help you to sift through the information and more academically-
relevant engines (e.g., Google Scholar) will help you to focus in on scholarly
material. However, some of the most efficient searching for academically-
relevant material can be achieved using resources held by the university
library. We will illustrate some of these by showing you how to find articles
relevant to your first written assignment in psychology.
Using the UWA Library
Psychology Assignment 代写
To begin with, let us go to the Psychology guide at the library1. Begin with the
library homepage (http://www.is.uwa.edu.au/), scroll down to the ‘Information
Services: Onesearch’ box and put your cursor into the “Onesearch” box.
You might want to spend some time exploring the library home page and the
wonderful resources there (e.g., how to find books), but for now let us begin
trying to find a particular article. The lab report is based on the following
article:
Orr ES, Sisic M, Ross C, Simmering MG, Arseneault JM, and Orr RR (2009)
The Influence of Shyness on the Use of Facebook in an Undergraduate
Sample, Cyberpsychology and Behaviour, 12 (3), 337-340.

The format of the reference shows that the authors, Orr et al, published a
work in 2009 with the title “The Influence of Shyness on the Use of Facebook
in an Undergraduate Sample”. The article was published in volume 12 of a
journal called the “Cyberpsychology and Behaviour” and it can be found on
pages 337-340 of this journal.

password at some point to verify that you are entitled to access the material.

Since we now know we want to find a journal, let’s type the journal title
straight into the Onesearch box, and press the blue ‘search’ button.
You should now have a page that looks like the one below. Note that not all
the references that Onesearch finds will be held by the library, but this time
we are in luck. You can see this as there is an option for ‘full text online’.
Select the ‘View Online tab.
This will produce a range of options from where you can retrieve the article.
This time select ‘Academic Search Premier’ and click on ‘Full Text online
from’ to the right of this text.

This will open a new tab and take you to the full text article or the abstract
depending on the database it is saved on. You should now have a page like
the below.
Clicking on the PDF icon will allow you to download the article, print it out or
save a copy. However, don’t be too hasty. Do not fail to appreciate the
amount of information that has kindly been provided to assist you writing your
laboratory report. In addition to the article, the provider has given you a link to
“Find Similar Articles”. These are other articles that have written about
something similar to the Orr et al paper and so you might want to explore
these. Similarly, the paper by Orr et al will have a references section and a
few of these may worth searching for. Reading these will help you to
contextualise a specific article in the broader psychological context. This cite
will also present you with the way to format this reference for your references
section.
Congratulations! Now you have one article, and a set of other related articles
that you can start reading.
