This online book took the reader into depth about how what type of writing is done in
the field of Psychology and gave step by step procedures on how to make sure it was well
constructed. The intended audience is anyone seeking answers of what will be expected of
someone to write or anyone looking for extra help on how to do so. Psychology is the overall
subject so majors in Psychology or psychologists might look at this book. Some people I know
just like reading about Psychology because it interests them, so this can also be an intended
audience.
The author is psychology major, which helps him build his credibility. I had to do some
research on him because I had no idea who he was. The way the book is written is well done.
The proper grammar is used and the correct steps are described as well. This ties into the
overall topic on what type of writing can be done. It can include journals, posters, and even
presentations. It all depends on the specific topic being researched.

The genre of an annotated bibliography is very important. But the difference between
that and Literature is very important to pay attention to. This short article explains what the
purpose is for each and when it should be used. It is crucial to know when it is appropriate to
use an annotated bibliography and when it should not be used. The intended audience is
anyone who is confused on which style to use or for anyone who needs clarity on what the
difference is.
The authors of the article are a part of the UNA Center of Writing Excellence. That
automatically builds their credibility. If their writing is considered to be excellent than it means
the information they are providing is very much reliable. Overall, the contribution the article
makes is informing the audience of when an annotated bibliography should be used or when a
literature review should be used. It is very important in Psychology to use the correct format so
that the audience gets the point you are trying to make. I think the article is very helpful and
very well structured.

There are many different ways to go in the field of Psychology. You can major in
Forensic Psychology and even in Sport Psychology. In the multimodal presentation directed and
produced by Maria Tomassini, she explains several aspects in the field of Sport Psychology. The
audience can be anyone who is trying to major in this specific type of Psychology or it can be for

students like me who need an example of a multimodal presentation. In my opinion, she

couldve used a little bit more information, but it was still very helpful.
In order to build her credibility, she not only uses definitions from a psychology book,
but also gives examples by showing the audience examples through physical activity. She
explained very clear and thoroughly, but could have used more examples as well. Psychologists
not only write things down, but sometimes they are asked to do this type of video to help
others out. This means that anything can happen in the field of Psychology, but you have to be
willing to put in the effort to do so.

Mixtapes. Grassroots Writing Research Journal, Issue 5.1, 7-14.
The audience is an important component when writing anything in the field of
Psychology. This is clearly explained in the article It Was You I Was Thinking Of: Looking at
Audience through the Genre of Mixtapes. Not only does the author make it clear that the
audience should be able to understand and relate to any piece of writing, but that it should also
make sense to the person creating it. Kampmeier, the author of the article, uses mixtapes to
show how crucial the audience through her experiences. She describes the mixtape she made
for one of her ex-boyfriends and the mixtape he gave to her in return. She picked songs that
she knew he would like, but he picked songs that he liked instead of taking her interests into
consideration. She also adds that the songs she picked reflected her feelings for him, so not
only does it benefit the ex-boyfriend, but that it also benefitted her. The intended audience
isnt just people who listen to mixtapes, but it pertains to everyone. Any form of writing done

by someone is created for an intended audience, which is why this articles audience can be
anyone who writes anything.
The author uses her own experiences to build her credibility. She acknowledges how
important it is to take the audience into consideration because she went through it. For an
annotated bibliography, the audience is crucial. Not only does it have to benefit you, but if you
want others to read it, it has to benefit them. The author, in my opinion, did a great job
explaining this concept.

For this type of print source, there are many things included. It has information on many
different topics within the overall subject of Psychology. This book is used in college level
classes. My friend is currently taking this course and this is the book they are required to buy. I
would have to say that the intended audience is college students who are pursuing a future in
this field. Another type of audience could be the students who like reading about Psychology
for fun. A close friend of mine actually enjoys reading about this kind of stuff because it catches
his interest.
The authors of this book dont need to build their credibility because they obviously
were hired to type this book because of their vast knowledge in Psychology. It has multiple
definitions that can be found through the internet, but they go more into detail about how it
relates to Psychology. Books like these contribute to Psychology due to the fact that many of
psychologists today used some type of version of this book to build their knowledge. Sources

like this are where some of the best psychologists started. It greatly affects the people in the
Psychology field as well as the field itself.
