Start to Intro

I was just looking through the Smiler article and since we are mentioning the articles he cited won't we have to add references for all of the original articles?

It would be preferable if you can access the original articles, look at them, give your own interpretation of what they say, and cite them.

And of course be on the lookout for other references that Smiler might have missed.

Thanks for your help Jaimie and I will go about looking through the originals. It also seems that everyone is in agreement to incorporate the summary into the final part of the introduction so I am going to do that.

Is everyone okay if I look for the original articles and as Jaimie suggested rework it a bit to use our own interpretations?

That sounds good to me! If there's any you can't find you could let us know and someone on here might be able to locate it.

Hi guys, here is my rough draft for the first portion of the history, I will continue to finish the second portion of the draft once I finish all the research. I changed a fair amount once I read through the original articles so feel free to change/add anything.

Hi guys, as I was finishing reading through the original articles that Smiler mentioned many of the studies measured gender but not necessarily as a personality trait. Some looked at socialization and beliefs about gender roles and gender role strain. Do we still include studies that don't completely match up with measuring gender as a personality trait?

Yes, you're right, we don't want to make it too broad, but what you've done here seems quite contained and relevant to the topic, so no, I don't think we should remove it.
