Answer

Hello,

Thanks for contacting the Online Library.  For your research, I would recommend the following databases:

  • PsycARTICLES and PsycINFO
  • Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection
  • Psychology Journals

You can find all three of these databases listed alphabetically under the Find Articles and More button in the Online Library.  I woudl recommend using the advanced search in all three of these databases.  For search terms, I would recommend:

  • fire setter
  • child* AND fire
  • adolescen* AND fire
  • pyromania*
  • fire AND juvenile
  • youth AND fire

I would recommend mixing and matching these search terms as well. Be sure you enter your search terms as they are listed above.  The * will bring back the root word with various endings--for example, pyromania, pyromaniac, pyromaniacs, etc. I would recommend checking the box for full text to only bring back records with the full text articles attached. If you need scholarly or peer-reviewed articles, be sure you check the box for peer-reviewed as well.

Please let us know if you have any other questions!
