Bernard C. Beins - Effective Writing in Psychology

Asking the questions we have offered in this chapter—both for popular and scholarly sources and for websites—will help you identify biases or assumptions in the information presented. You might also find some ideas or perspectives that have been left out or with which you disagree. Noting these limitations will not only help you determine the kind of source you have found, it will also give you insight into the credibility and validity of the author's (or authors') argument. However, remember that all research is based on biases and assumptions and that almost any area of psychology will have reputable scholars who disagree about the best methodology or hypothesis, or how to interpret results. Thus, identifying limitations does not necessarily mean that the source is invalid. Rather, it may have strengths you can draw on and weaknesses that you should consider when developing a hypothesis, structuring an experiment, and supporting your claims.
