Welcome! edit

Hello, Isaiah.dorendorf, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please complete the student training, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles.

Topic selection edit

I am interested in how emotion effects other things and the pathologies of the brain like alzheimer's and dementia. Maybe we can start by sharing our interests in psychology and go from there? Isaiah.dorendorf (talk) 17:17, 11 September 2015 (UTC) Another thought that came into my head was that I think the assignment would be a whole lot more straight forward if we pick a concept to do a page on versus a person. I haven't looked into this topic, but we could do the 'attentional blink' just a thought. Isaiah.dorendorf (talk) 16:07, 12 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I am interested in PTSD and related disorders such as depression in regards to vets. However, when it comes to our Wiki topic I am open for anything. I do agree with Isaiah, it would be easier to update a stub or article that does not have a lot of attention. A psychological concept or theory would be best. Should we look through the lists of stubs and maybe find one that needs a lot of work? S.Steinbrueck (talk) 06:02, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hey guys, I was looking through some of the stub articles and I found three that I think could be interesting for us to work on. The first one I think would be great to work on would be Media psychology. With the increase use of technology and our accesses to media, this will play a major role in our lives and up and coming generations. Self-regulation theory I just found really interesting and would like to learn more about it. And then there is Daseinsanalysis which is an interesting take on psychoanalysis, it's also from chapter 12 in our text book, which is our group number / chapter. Of the three I listed, I really like the Media and Daseinsanalysis ones. I'd like to hear your opinions or your suggestions. Also, who would like to email Dr. Council about our group talk page?

Hello everyone, I agree with Isaiah on the interest in alzheimer's and dementia related brain topics. Though as I was looking through the stubs, I did find the stub on Media psychology to be one that could have high potential as well. Like stated earlier by you guys, it is becoming a larger aspect in the psychology world today. There is information out there to produce a decent wiki article; along with being able to possibly provide a strong basis for the readers as well!

Ok, I think I would like to do the Daseinsanalysis more than media psychology, but I am ok to do media psych because I agree that it would be a big topic, Thanks for looking those up Steven! I did email Dr. Council. Would you be on board with this Tim? Isaiah.dorendorf (talk) 00:18, 18 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I am for the Daseinsanalysis topic as our first choice and I don't think anyone else will choose this topic. Should we do the attentional blink topic as our fallback? Or was there a different topic that sounded more interesting as a secondary choice? S.Steinbrueck (talk) 00:23, 18 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Yeah Daesinsanalysis for number one and media psych for number two! Isaiah.dorendorf (talk) 15:33, 18 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Good choices! edit

Hi Group 12, I'm glad you took daseinanalysis as your first choice. Existential psychotherapy is very interesting, and the existing article is definitely a stub. You'll have plenty of material available to expand the stub article. Your second choice, media psychology, was another group's first choice, so this works out well. J.R.
