Kaseyclynn (talk) 22:04, 27 February 2016 (UTC)== Ideas ==

Hey guys - thinking of some ideas that we could possibly use for our project. I was looking through the psychology stub articles. I think it might be advantageous for us to choose a person. I feel like it would be easier to find concrete, reputable information about an individual rather than a broad psychological topic. Some ideas that we could look into:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlene_Anderson

Harlene Anderson did some revolutionary work with Marriage & Family therapy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristin_Neff

Kristin Neff has done some work with self-compassion. She is still alive, but I think finding information on her would be easily accessible as she is a more recent presence in the field of psychology

Just a couple ideas. Thoughts anyone?? Heidi.Rued (talk) 00:48, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey,

Either of those sound good to me. I like the idea of doing our article on a person. It is much easier to find unbiased information. I am leaning more towards Harlene Anderson but either is fine. Seinarson (talk) 19:08, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Okay! Glad to here your thoughts. I would be fine with either as well. Since we are supposed to pick two options, should we say Anderson is #1 and Neff is #2? Heidi.Rued (talk) 02:43, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

So, I tried doing some basic searches on Harlene Anderson and had difficulty finding biographical information. It might be why her wikipedia page is pretty bare. I am wondering what you guys think of this options:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Denmark

She seems like she was an influential woman in the field, and I found some information about her life that could be added to her wikipedia page. Just a thought! Heidi.Rued (talk) 03:01, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

I really like the idea of choosing a person. Both Kristin Neff and Florence Denmark have very little on their wikipedia pages. It would be cool to help add more information. I like both, but I like the idea of Kristin Neff the best. I was looking online and there are some good resources we could use. Its weird there is such little about her on her wikipedia page since there is a bunch on self-compassion scales. Kaseyclynn (talk) 00:42, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Okay, so how about Kristin Neff is our first choice and Florence Denmark our second? Does that work for everyone? Seinarson (talk) 01:23, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

That sounds good to me! Kaseyclynn (talk) 16:17, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Yes, that works well for me too! Heidi.Rued (talk) 16:35, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey group,

One main problem we have with Florence Denmark's wikipedia page is the obvious, there just needs to be much more information about her. We only have a biography section, which doesn't have much regarding her personal information or her accomplishments. Sigmund Freud's wikipedia page for example, has a biography section as well as an ideas, legacy, and works section, all being very detailed and informative. We should add a picture of her to her page as well.

I found a couple references that are detailed and seem like they will be useful for us to use in adding to Dr. Denmark's page: 1. Awards for distinguished contributions to the international advancement of psychology: Florence L. Denmark. (1997). American Psychologist, 52(4), 360-362. 2. Florence L. Denmark. (1993). American Psychologist, 48(4), 367-369.

I am not too concerned about anything regarding our wikipedia choice. I think that we are going to add a lot of information about her which will significantly add to her wikipedia page. I think it will be important to not only document her accomplishments in psychology but with that to document her accomplishments as a feminist leader. It seems much of her life has been spent working towards female and male equality. Kaseyclynn (talk) 22:04, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello all,

I agree with Kasey, there is just an overall lack of information here. We should definitely add a picture, information on the kind of work she does, more on her personal life/early life, and maybe some information on the impact she has had for the feminist movement and women in psychology. As I do research, it seems that she was a big advocate for equal treatment of female psychologists, and the current article really does not say anything about that. I think her major contribution to society is being ignored in her wiki. Here are a couple articles I think may be useful:

1. Denmark, F.L., Sechzer, J.A., Rabinowitz, V.C. (1993). 'Sex bias in psychological research: Progress or complacency?': Response. American Psychologist. 48(10): 1093-1094. doi: 10.1037/0003-066X.48.10.1093.b 2. Demark, F.L. (1993). Women, leadership, and empowerment. Psychology of Women Quarterly, 17(3), 343-356. doi:10.1111/j.1471-6402.1993tb00491.x

Dr. Council, I am wondering if it is better to focus on her work or her life. There is a lot of information out there about her achievements and her work, but not much on the personal side. Also, Do you think we should divide up sections for us each to work on, or will it flow better if we work collaboratively on everything? Thanks! Seinarson (talk) 19:18, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Dr. Council's comments on your choices
Good choices, but it's actually harder to get information on more recent figures. I doubt you'll find much on Krisiin Neff, although it sounds like she's done interesting work. I would go with Florence Denmark. Over the course of a long career, a person may have gotten lots of honors, and those are often written up in professional journals. J.R.
