| FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
| The author states that “A 2004 Spanish college student sample study suggests that there is a direct relationship between victim's perception of control over their bullying experience and the extent of long term difficulties they experience as a result of bullying”(Mark Dombeck). |
| In short, “bullied students who believed they were able to influence and/or escape their bullies reported fewer negative long term effects from having been bullied than did students who felt helpless to influence their situation while it was happening”(Mark Dombeck). |
| Some short term effects of bullying include “Anger, Depression, Anxious avoidance of settings in which bullying may occur, and Suicidal thoughts and feelings (In one British retrospective bullying experiences survey I came across (of unknown scientific value), 20% of the sample attempted suicide secondary to having been bullied, whereas only 3% of participants who were not bullied attempted suicide)”(Mark Dombeck). |
| Some long-term effects of bullying include “Lingering feelings of anger and bitterness, desire for revenge, Difficulty trusting people Interpersonal difficulties, including fear and avoidance of new social situations Increased tendency to be a loner”(Mark Dombeck). |
| The author believes that “1) Bullying is a form of abuse, and 2) Bullying is a narcissistic sort of act”(Mark Dombeck). |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
EX: POV brings together information from a Cambridge conference in which professors of literature examine Twilight's effect on teenagers. Many of the sources cited talk about the negative affect on women that the books have had. The writer then turns around and asks the reader to take a poll, which is noted as not being scientific, to see what the general populance thinks on this issue.
Who:Mark Dombeck
What:The long term effects of bullying.
Where: wherever bullying occurs
Why:Bullying is abuse, can Cause long term emotional damage.
Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
EX for Author: POV is simply a penname for an anonymous author. It stands for Point of View, and the majority of the articles written on the news cite are simply there to ask the opinion of the reader, and rehash someone else's research.
EX for Site: CBC News is one of the main news associations in Canada, and the purpose seems to be to bring the news to the people. The articles are meant to inspire discussion, not so much force an opinion.
Mark Dombeck, Ph.D. was Director of Mental Help Net from 1999 to 2011. He presently works as a product manager for MessageBus.com, an internet startup building next-generation email and messaging systems.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
EX: Other than keeping a job with the Canadian News, it seems the variety of articles displays a lack of attachment.
No, he does not stand to gain from this. This is his essay on how bullying has effected his life and how the long term effects of bullying can effect people’s life
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
EX: There is a slight bias in the fact that only the negative effects of Twilight are mentioned, not the positive.
Yes there is a bias there that bullying is negative. He went through it also, so not only does he talk about his own personal experiences in which he dealt with, he also took a scientific standpoint.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
EX: The author uses Cambridge professors in his/her argument, making it stronger, as they are professors of literature.
Yes, he mentions Psychological Self-Tools self-help book, a 2004 spanish college student sample study. it helps add to his credibility
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
EX: I plan to use this source to support my opinion that Twilight has a negative effect on teenagers, and also use it as a jumping off point for other sources, as it has a link to an MSNBC article about this issue.
I will use this source while looking for other sources.
