Article Selection: I have decided to collaborate with my peer on Option 5.
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title: Sex differences in psychology
 * Article Evaluation
 * - The article's content is relevant to the topic. It is also well organized which makes it easy to read and understand. It includes a section titled "Psychological Traits" which discusses the differences between both sexes in areas of memory, aggression, sexual behavior, intelligence, etc. Each claim has a citation. Most of the citations are from academic journals and if a link was provided it took you directly to the site where the reader could see where the information was cited. Since this article discusses the differences between men and women, there is no bias toward one group. Most of the references are about ten years and older, so I would suggest updating the article with newer sources, preferably from the last five years. I also think the "Culture" section could be expanded on. Lastly, the article does not address any underrepresented or misrepresented populations.

Option 2

 * Article title: Attachment in children
 * Article Evaluation
 * - The article's content is relevant to the topic. The article discusses attachment theory and the attachment styles a child can have. It also talks about the Strange Situation Protocol which is important for understanding how infants' attachment was assessed. The article does not present any bias, but it discusses the criticisms of the Strange Situation Protocol. The citations in this article are old so I would suggest finding new material to support the claims or to present new information found. The article includes three pictures, but I do not think they are necessary to have. I think the article could have gone more in-depth when talking about each attachment style. For example, they could've talked about how these attachment styles will come into play as the child grows up and what effect a child's style may have on them when they begin to socialize with other kids. I also think it would've been interesting to talk about how attachment appears in children with disabilities and if there are any differences when comparing them to a child without a disability. Lastly, because not every kid grows up to have parents, talking about how foster care may affect attachment styles would be something interesting to mention as well. Overall, the article talked about what it was supposed to, but I think there was a lot more it could've talked about like the ideas I mentioned above.

Option 3

 * Article title: Feminine psychology
 * Article Evaluation
 * - First off, the article is very short and I think it can be expanded more. The definition of feminine psychology provided says that this topic focuses on "social, economic, and political issues... ". I think the article could've expanded more on these topics, especially political issues facing women since this is now something being heavily talked about today. The material in the article is relevant to the topic, but when reading the talk page it is mentioned that one topic brought up in the article concerns men and not women. The topic "Womb Envy" is suggested to be taken out since it does not concern women. Each claim was cited and the links provided lead the reader to where the information came from. When reading the talk page to see what others had to say, one person mentioned there being biased statements. I went back to find these statements but they were taken out. The current article does not come off as biased. Most of the material cited in this article is about ten years old or more so I think it can be updated with newer ones.

Option 4

 * Article title: Personality disorder
 * Article Evaluation
 * - The article's content is relevant to the topic. One thing I would change would be the order of how the article was organized. For example, I think the "History" section should have been higher up instead of at the end. I don't think the "History" section should be at the end because at that point the reader has finished the article and knows about the topic. When looking at the citations I noticed that some had "unreliable medical source?". The sources that were "claimed" to be unreliable medical sources came from .com websites. I agree that some of these claims may be from unreliable sources because you can't always trust .com sites. Instead, the claims should have been cited from published journals that may have included work from doctors or therapists since this is a mental health condition. The article did not talk about underrepresented or misrepresented populations, but I think they should've included how Personality Disorders affect certain groups of populations based on things like ethnicity or SES. Speaking of SES, one person on the talk page suggested including how SES levels are associated with personality disorder symptom levels. Lastly, the article includes a small section on genetics so I would expand it.

Option 5

 * Article title: Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers
 * Article Evaluation
 * - Before reading this article, I noticed it was short. One improvement made would be to expand on the current topics or add more because there is room for a lot of improvements. Since COVID-19 began this year the citations come from sources that were put out this year. One section of the article talks about "Psychological Impact". In this section, I would've liked to read about the psychological impacts on the United States health care workers. I think they could've included more about how working as a health care worker has affected their personal lives with their families, for example. The article mentions how COVID-19 has had greater effects on women. I do not see this as bias, but instead bringing attention to how women who work in health care are being put at greater risk but still are paid less than men. The article includes a recommendation section which includes decreasing the spread of COIVD among health care workers and managing job stress. The article focuses on healthcare workers as a whole, but I would look into adding a section as to how COVID has affected healthcare workers in specific units such as ICU or ER.
