At some point in your study of psychology, you may be required to write a case study. A case study is an in-depth analysis of a single person. These are often used in clinical cases or in situations when lab research is not possible or practical. In undergraduate courses, these are often based on a real individual, an imagined individual, or a character from a television show, film, or book.

Citation

Article Critique Corrigan, P. W., Green, A., Lundin, R., Kubiak, M. A., & Penn, D. L. (2001). Familiarity with and social distance from people who have serious mental illness. Psychiatric Services, 52(7), 953-958. What type of article is this? The article written by Corrigan, Green, Lundin, Kubiak & Penn (2001) is quantitative in nature and an example of a correlational study as it seeks to describe relationships between several variables?namely familiarity with mental illness, social distance and the person?s perception of dangerousness and fear. Correlational studies, while measuring a variety of variables, cannot determine whether a cause and effect relationship exists, only that one variable (or several variables) may have an association with another.
