The Post-Traumatic Embitterment Disorder Self-Rating Scale (PTED Scale)

Psychology and Education
Paper instructions:
The purpose of this paper is to critically evaluate a scientific article about some concept in Psychology. This assignment will assist you in your personal development, integrity, and academic excellence. There are many issues that people are concerned about that are relevant to an Introduction to Psychology class, such as ADD, ESP, depression, weight control, PMS, TV and violence, memory boosters, happiness, stress, and etc. Be mindful that simply gathering existing data and synthesizing it (information as goal) is boring. Instead YOU are on a QUEST, a hunt for the truth (information as a means to solve a problem). Your first journal article will be assigned for Writing Assignment 1. Remember, this is not a research paper. Click here for further clarification of the assignment.
