User talk:WesDig11/Boomerang effect (psychology)/Icedcoffee14 Peer Review

Hi! I am a student from the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg and I am supposed to peer review this page. When I first read about the Boomerang effect, I thought that it had a lot of good information about where it came from and who founded it. I also thought that the examples from current research were helpful to understand how the effect works and how it is relevant in present time.I also thought it was helpful to see that other theories could be tied into this effect. Something that I would suggest is when it talks about how the effect is relevant with politics and national and human security, there should be more examples. It feels that these sections are more of descriptions instead of showing how the boomerang effect is proven to be in both of these topics. I think that showing instead of telling when it comes to discussing sections makes readers understand more of what the boomerang effect is.

Hi Icedcofee14,

I also found the information in the current research section to be helpful and insightful. It helped me to be able to brainstorm possible ideas to use for my sections of the article and also helped me really hone in on specific information about my chosen topics. I will look into adding some information possible on national and human security. I did not even think to add information there, so pointing that out was very insightful and helpful for me and my co-author. I also do agree with showing instead of telling is important. Your last sentence really resinated with me and helped me when beginning to write my own draft. Thank you for your insight. WesDig11 (talk) 15:30, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello Icedcoffee14,

I agree that when it comes to the current event section that the current research is more of a description then actually showing and proving how the theory is actually being used. I looked into adding a few new examples of theory with political aspects and proving how the theory is in use. I wanted to thank you for your feedback and let you know that it really helped me write my draft for the article. ~ $unflower93 (talk) 04:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
