I am having trouble finding information for an essay that is now late. The subject is Future trends of Gender reinforcements and punishment I have been trying for six hours and my Instructor wrote me to ask a librarian.
I either get 0 results or 3,000. I need help learning how to choose the correct key words and how to input that into the advanced search here. thanks for your help. I'm falling behind on my work and I have dyslexia so I need a little help. this is my 14th class at Argosy Online, and so far I have been able to find research papers that I could use. I am an A student. This subject has me asking for help. Thanks.

Hi Vivian,

Thanks for contacting the Online Library. For your search, you may want to try this search in PsycARTICLES and PsycINFO, Psychology Journals, and Psychology and Behavoiral Sciences Collection.  You can use the same search terms in both databases. 

You will want to click on the Advanced Search in both of these databases and separate your search terms out onto separate lines.  Good search terms would be:

"future trends" AND gender AND reinforcement*

trends AND gender AND reinforcement*

punishment* AND gender AND reinforcement*

punishment* AND gender AND reinforcement* AND "future trends"  [you can add a row to your search boxes by click "Add a Row" in the ProQuest databases or the plus sign in the EBSCO database)

Be sure you enter the search terms exactly as they are written above.  The quotation marks will bring back the exact phrase the * will bring back both reinforcement and reinforcements. 

You will be able to get a managable number of results with relevant articles with those search terms. 

Let us know if you have any other questions!
