The Thinking Critically activities are designed to help you sharpen your powers of critical examination by providing you with a framework for analyzing evidence before drawing conclusions. This skill is particularly useful when examining online materials from various sources. The framework is built around five questions that you will find useful in analyzing not only psychological research studies, but other forms of communication as well, including political speeches, advertising claims, and appeals for contributions.
