There is some confusion among students in question 11 for this assignment. The wording of the question is problematical. They are to find a book chapter that includes information about the effectiveness of relaxation techniques for the treatment of migraine headaches in children. The confusion comes form trying to a chapter on the web. What they need to do, since this is a PsycInfo assignment, is use the limiters in the original search to to set the "Age Groups" menu to all six of the groups (Control Click), then set the "Document Type" menu to "Chapters". This will change the search to the area they need. It isn't necessary to change the "Publication Type" menu to "All Books."

The assignment specifies they are to find a book chapter dealing with migraines and relaxation techniques. Search PsycInfo and apply the limits Michael mentioned. Have them search migraine*
ReplyDeleteDo not add terms for relaxation. The search migraine* AND limits for the age groups for adolescents and children AND chapter finds just 30 items. Have the students look through those 30 items. Urge them to think in a broad context about what relaxation would mean and they should be able to find a chapter they like e.g. one on play therapy.
