Essay 3, credibility of sources

1.)
Perkins, Victoria. (n.d.). Causes of shopping addiction. Retrieved from http://www.helium.com/items/1481158-shopping-addiction
This is a credible source because at the end of a page, i was able to click on a link about the authors awards, and all of the articles she has published. It would be considered a secondary source, because the author inclused links to pages that she used information from. I may not use this source because the article is mising a publication date.
  2.)Berger, Initials. (n.d.). Spending and shopping addiction.Copyright 2005 Dr Vincent Berger. Retrieved from http://www.psychologistanywhereanytime.com/addiction_psychologist/psychologist_addiction_spending.htm
TThis source is a credible source, and it is primary. To find this out, I clicked on a link of information about the author, and it stated that the site did not useany electronic means to gather information.



3.)Intili, Daniela. (n.d.). Battling compulsive shopping. ©2010 The Australian Psychological Society Ltd. Retrieved from http://www.psychology.org.au/publications/inpsych/shopping/


4.)Thomas, Charly. (2009, February 11). What is oniomania. Retrieved from http://oniamania.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-is-oniomania.html
