Comparison Of Three Journal Articles
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page comparison of psychological journal articles addressing extroversion and introversion. Three articles were selected, two from The Journal of Psychology and one from The Journal of Genetic Psychology. The first discussed is an investigation of the reliability of models of determining general personality traits. The second attempts to establish a link between introversion and depression; the third investigates the possibility of a statistical basis for personality traits as indicated by the signs of the zodiac. All of the studies seem to be designed as well as they could be in their areas of investigation, but all seem to conclude that apart from neurosis of either introversion or extroversion, the existence and the description within the individual remains subjective and its definition elusive.

Critique of “Born Unwanted: Observations from the Prague Study”
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper critiquing a longitudinal study of children born of unwanted pregnancies. David, Dytrych and Matejcek (2003) report on a large and long-term study designed to assess the consequences of being born unwanted, expressed in terms of sound mental health in adulthood. The authors identified 220 children born between 1961 and 1963 in Prague, Czech Republic. All of these study children were born of women who had sought and been denied an abortion at least twice for the pregnancy that produced the study subject. The researchers concluded that unwantedness was a significant risk factor for mental health problems in later life. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Depression And Diabetes: Article Reviews
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The relationship between diabetes and depression is an unmistakable - and perhaps unavoidable - occurrence of comorbidity. Each of these articles illustrates the importance of patient self-care and appropriate life choices as a means by which to offset the prevalence toward the comorbidity of depression and diabetes. While one study seeks to determine the most provoking factors that draw out the tendency toward both major and minor depression, another finds no more correlation between depression and diabetes than there is with those who do not have diabetes. Similarly, a third study sought to determine if those with either major depression or diabetes were more or less functionally disabled than those with diabetes and comorbid major depression. Another study examines how different locale and ethic composition impacts comorbidity, while the final article provides a broad overview of how depression and diabetes are often misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
