Search Terminology - Keywords and Subject Headings
When conducting research, always consider alternative keywords and subject headings for your topic. Begin by analyzing your topic or research question, and break it down into its key concepts. What keywords appear? Are there alternative keywords that come to mind?
For this course, keywords may include: political psychology; political behavior; political leadership; psychotic politicians (just kidding)
Subject headings may include: Political Psychology; Democracy - Psychological Aspects; Political Leadership - Psychological Aspects; Politicians - Psychology
When you discover a book of interest, select the "DETAILS" tab, and then the "FULL RECORD" tab to look at the assigned subject headings for that item. Note related subject headings, and click on them to find other books that are described in a similar way, and may prove useful.
