Search Tips:

Use the Thesaurus within PsycINFO.

When you find an article you like, use the subject headings in the article to find additional articles on the same topic.

Limit your search results to the last 5 years for psychology articles.

Narrow your searches by using a Boolean AND. For example, search for your topic AND then another aspect or level of the topic such as genes, cells, biochemicals, brain anatomy, cognition, or environment.
