1. Read the abstract carefully
2. Find a partner to work with
3. Identify terms that you think will be listed as subject headings in a database
4. Once you and your partner have agreed on a list of subject headings, find the article in PsycInfo and compare to the subject headings listed in the article record page
4. Which terms that you identified match the subject headings listed in the article record? Which ones did you miss? Are there any terms or concepts from the article abstract that you think PsycInfo missed? Why or why not? Discuss with your partner.
5. Start a new search in PsycInfo and try finding the article only using the terms you identified as subjects. Could you find the article?
