User:Icarlee3338/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Cross-cultural psychology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because i went to the academic principles category and selected psychology because that is something that interested me. I tried finding a sub section regarding media or communications but nothing appeared that I was interested in. Cross Cultural psychology is important because it shows the mental processes of individuals from different countries. Every culture is different but we share similar instincts so I was intrigued to learn of our similarities. My first impression was that it was well-organized and had different links to different subsets of psychology. It talked about different psychologists and their impact.

The ones that are needed work. There are over 20 different sources and a wide variety of authors. Better information could be found elsewhere'''

Organization and writing quality: '''The writing is very organized and categorized in 4 sections and 9 subheadings. It is well developed and structured and sounds like a professional wrote it. No major grammatical errors that i noticed. For relating alot to specific numbers and psychological terms it was very easy to understand.'''

Talk page discussion: '''The talk page wasn't used that much. A few things mentioned was adding a new subtopics or adding more to subtopics. Another was saying that they want a condensed version of this article because they felt it was unnecessarily long.'''
