In the lecture this week we were given a random topic to research and find articles and sources for information and references to help us with understanding what is good for our essays, as well as for our literature review.
I and Kiro received ASMR. Which I had heard before, it’s on Youtube for everyone to discover, not something I typically enjoy though. We began our search through the UAL library and discovered a book called ASMR. We proceeded to search for the authors name and found it wasn’t very reliable. The sources reviewing his book were YouTubers with usernames such as “GreenASMRGoblin” Which didn’t mean his work was accepted perhaps or peer-reviewed by the larger scientific community.
We then proceeded to research Google scholar, something I use a lot. And found a few articles on scientific research into ASMR, some articles with evidence and facts/statistics about how it affects us and how it can occur. Again I felt only a few were reliable. We then shared our ideas and how we did the research in class. I felt like my work was perhaps too scientific on the approach which Annie felt as well. Again this is good for me to understand as I don’t want my essay to be scientific but lightly use science for evidence of my decisions perhaps.
