On a side note I found a cool psychology barnstar to use see my user page.

How/where did you get this? J.R. Council (talk) 21:28, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The psychology barnstar is from Wikimedia Labs: Wikipedia Release Version Tools under Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychology and it is number 71 on the list of 95 psychology templates available for use. The links are below:


Group 4 discussion of possible topics

Remember to log into Wikipedia and sign your posts with 4 tildes! Otherwise I won't know who contributed. J.R. Council (talk) 21:54, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]


All right Group 4

We decided on using my talk page to complete assignment 3 and the Wiki Project. Use this space to discuss and pick a topic! As of right now these are the topics listed as stubs that are relevant to chapter 4 in which we all will read for the CCD.

Below is the bulleted list and links to each stub article, take a look and comment on what you think :)

  • This may be interesting also as another class worked on but still dosn't meet criteria: Mondas (philosophy)
  • Also this could be an option as well for cleanup and is relatable to the history of psychology Internal monologue
  • Also interesting to me would be creating an article on Hedonic psychology it is basically a psychology based on principles of pain and pleasure also strongly rooted in philosophy. Currently this is an article on the requested psychology articles meaning there is no article right now so we could start a new article. Current info relating to the topic are wikipedia references to the following, Daniel Kahneman and Hedonism (I believe this article is relevant to the History of Psychology and would be a good option if it is of interest to others)

Other interesting articles that need improvement and could be really interesting include:

Trevor,For Hedonic Psychology would we have more information to provide than the stuff present in Hedonism and Hedonic treadmill?Matthew.j.benjamin (talk) 13:00, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes absolutely, the "history" of it rooted in hedonism philosophy and utilitarianism and then transitioning to Immanuel Kant in chapter 5 all relate to support or discredit hedonism which is a good article that tis neutral and take both sides. Utilitarianism ethical theory supports hedonistic psychology where as Kanteian Ethics is a rebuttal to hedonistic psychology. The topic is mostly misunderstood and currently if one clicks on hedonistic psychology it redirects to happiness economics which is completely unrelated in terms of psychology and is only related based upon another discipline (economics) and not psychology Daniel Kahneman and Hedonism p.s. I also encourage you to look at other ones as well there are many great articles we can improve from the ones I posted below. We should explore all options first :) Trevor1902 (talk) 20:16, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just read through them and am personally a fan of Beck's Cognitive triad and Theoretical Psychology. I'm still open to all other articles also. Matthew.j.benjamin (talk) 20:41, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey guys!! So as far as picking our topic I think a good way to limit it down would be to choose between a 1. psychologist 2. psychological concept or 3. psychological condition. Personally, I take the most interest in 2. and 3. because I feel like we could learn the most from this, will find the most information, and will have the most to work with if we pick a concept or condition. Out of curiosity, are there, say, maybe 10 topics we are each interested in that we could then match up the most similar topics? For example, I'm really interested in 1. internal monologue 2. higher-order thinking 3. awareness 4. life satisfaction 5. moral reasoning 6. personality 7. Gestalt theoretical psychotherapy. Id also be interested in the applied psychology topic branches and the psych methodologies.Caitlyn.mcconnell (talk) 01:50, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Hey y'all! This is my attempt to contribute via the technology route! I gained some somewhat helpful coaching from a friend that has used Wikipedia before, but I'm a little slow going! So to reiterate what we spoke about in person earlier this week - In narrowing down what we are most interested in, after looking at higher-order thinking and life satisfaction articles, I think those two could be really great to work on. Life satisfaction should have some really great content to refer to through personality, which is handy because I know for sure Trevor and I are currently in that course, and perhaps Matt and Caitlyn have taken it too! Seems like this could be a topic that could have lots of resources to utilize. So Life Satisfaction is my winner, with higher-order thinking as its first runner up. Let me know what y'all think. By no means would I be heart broken if neither of these are what we end up going with, just what I personally had an eye for!Fstromberg (talk) 03:43, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yay Faye! You entered the world of Wiki Editing :) For the timezone issue, the local time of your computer my be wrong as Wiki code uses the local time of your computer in its code for timestamps in recentchanges, timestamps in history, and signatures. Looks like all you would have to do is change a line to two of code in the LocalSettings.php file from the install directory.

  1. Set Default Timezone

$wgLocaltimezone = "America/Chicago"; date_default_timezone_set( $wgLocaltimezone );

Look at this page to help: Manual:Timezone


As for the assignment, I am good with either Higher-order, life satisfaction, Becks cognitive triad, theoretical psychology. Trevor1902 (talk) 04:20, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good progress

Good work group 4. You're generating some nice ideas. Remember, as you narrow down your topics, go for ones which you find interesting and have good potential for expansion. Make sure you'll be able find sufficient reference material. J.R. Council (talk) 22:01, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comment, see below for our final topic decision and backup choice

Trevor1902 (talk)

Final Topic Choice

Comment on the final one you choose and we will all agree on one :)

  • Trevor:
  1. I personally think that the life satisfaction article is fairly well developed already and that the higher order thinking has potential but how much reference material could we find?
  2. Beck's Cognitive Triad has great potential but could we relate it to the "History of Psychology" as much as we are expected for the assignment?
  3. I think Theoretical psychology is easily relatable to the history of psychology and we could find legitimate references as well also Theoretical psychology is similar in a sense to Epistemological psychology
  4. I also really like Personality, even though it is developed more than a stub article it still has a lot we can add to it and improve it and related well to history of psychology. I think that since we all have either taken pseronality psych or are in it now this would be a good topic we all are familiar with and can make a good improvement to. My vote would be Personality, Thoughts? Trevor1902 (talk) 05:31, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Faye: Is not technologically literate with wiki yet but definitely did her part in helping us contribute to the topic decision.
  • Matt: I personally like the idea of doing Higher order thinking is a great idea, I think we could find plenty of journal articles to support and disprove sections, and since this is a stub article on a complex theory (more categories than many) I think it would give us room to make a larger article than many of the other ideas. I however do not think we could find enough material for becks cognitive triad and it would be difficult for finding information without credible links already made for theoretical psychology . Personality is a very complex topic that I think would be difficult to tackle, I think that although there is not much information for personality, much of the data is going to come through links. I would be alright for personality, but my personal vote is going towards Higher order thinking with theoretical psychology as a back-up.Matthew.j.benjamin (talk) 14:42, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Caitlyn: I agree with the Higher order thinking article as our topic. Looking into the brief section there is, I could get a feel for what kinds of information we would be looking into and it sounds interesting. I think it's within our abilities and knowledge too. So my final vote is for that. 2001:4930:224:0:D63:6B3A:9405:D10 (talk) 15:10, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

''GUYS! don't forget: we need TWO topics, just in case someone else picks the first one. So, opinions for second topic?'' Caitlyn.mcconnell (talk) 16:27, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I like Theoretical Psychology for our alternate, however, personality also seems like a popular choice.Matthew.j.benjamin (talk) 16:49, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Final Topic:

  1. Higher order thinking
  2. Backup Topic: theoretical psychology


Trevor1902 (talk) 05:07, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good choices!

Either of these sound like fine choices. I need to think a little about higher order thinking and will get back. Theoretical psychology can be a challenging topic. One group tried it in the past and fumbled badly. However, I can direct you to some good material on this topic.

Thanks for clarifying everyone's role in deciding on a topic. However, even those who aren't that computer/web savvy need to get used to editing Wikipedia. It really isn't too tough. Just need to jump in and get used to it. J.R. Council (talk) 20:52, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think theoretical psychology would be the best choice. There is a Society of Theoretical Psychology, and a journal as well. I happen to know the editor of the journal, and can put you in touch. Hank is a really nice guy, and I'm sure he would help you develop the Wikipedia article. J.R. Council (talk) 03:09, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]


For convience:

We will create the full article revision on my sandbox and then once the final revision is done we will post the whole code as an edit to the actual page of Theoretical psychology

If you have any questions feel free to message me and let me know. You are doing great :)
