Instructions

When you have completed this course, you should be able to demonstrate the ability to write clearly and effectively, using professional and empirical sources of information about groups and group processes. As the first step in this direction, this reflection discussion asks you to evaluate two sources of information on reference groups and depression. One is a primary source, and the other is a secondary source of information that summarizes the primary source. This discussion will help you understand the importance of choosing primary sources when they are available.
