Discussion: Critical Thinking: Evaluating InformationAs you have noted throughout your master’s program, psychological knowledge stems mainly from research. Knowledge of the world, in addition to coming from direct experience and observation, comes from many sources, including journals, textbooks, experts, and various media resources (television, newspapers, and the internet). An important question regarding these resources is: Are they all credible? How do you distinguish fact from fiction in evaluating research information, regardless of its source?
