I commented on Bernadette and Maggie's research journals.
All their keywords and Boolean looked great, I offered a couple suggestions but overall their 3b looked like they had enough to find all sorts of information on the web.

4b: Finding Books
I listed the books I found along with the websites I found in the blog posted 4A. I will just re-state what I posted.
http://prospector.coalliance.org/search/?searchtype=X&searcharg=music+psychology&SORT=D&imageField.x=22&imageField.y=20-I found prospector to be very successful. I found multiple books that will help me explore my topic of music psychology. I actually searched and found the "Music Psychology" section of the Auraria library and have checked out two books related to my topic.
1) Title: "The Frontier Meaning: Three Informal Lectures on Music"/ Author: Charles Rosen/ Date Checked out: 2-19-09/ Date Published: 1994/ Publisher: HarperCollinsCanadaLtd & Hill and Wang /Page number: 1-135.
2) Title: "The Psychology of Musical Ability"/ Author: Rosamund Shuter-Dyson and Clive Gabriel/ Date checked out: 2-19-09/ Date Published: 1968/ Publisher: Metheun & CO. Ltd/ Page number: 1-269
I also found an E-Book on Google.com:
http://books.google.com/books?id=oKLOm_I3dcAC&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=music+psychology&source=bl&ots=IQdpcrvTEc&sig=whOsIqPCGyrNIcxRsDgKq0dB8ew&hl=en&ei=GuahSfPWNIWc-Aago-W3Dg&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result#PPP1,M1
-I searched on Google.com for "Psychology of Music" and since I had browsed the first page before, I skipped on to the second page and began searching for more articles and information. When I came across the third page I found an E-Book that discussed the developmental of Music Psychology. It has many pages and highlighted points so I think it will be very useful in my research.
Title: "The Developmental of Music Psychology"/ Author: David J. Hargreaves/ Date searched: 2-22-09/ Date Published: since it is an E-book I dont think it has a published a date/publisher, i was unable to find one but perhaps I'm mistaken.

4a: Finding Reference Articles
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Music_psychology
-I used citizendium.org, and I tried to type in key words such as "*music*psychology" but recieved 0 results so i just typed in "music psychology" and came up with this site, that is still going under construction.
Title: Music Psychology/Last updated: 10-5-08/Date searched: 2-22-08/No Author
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/History_of_music_psychology
-I found related articles for "Psychology of Music" on of which was the History of music psychology.
Title: History of Music Psychology/ Author:Unknown/ Last updated: 2-13-09/ Date searched: 2-22-09
www.infoplease.com
-Proved to be unsuccessful. I typed in various keywords such as "+music+psychology", "music psychology", "psychology of music", "music psychology affect on learning abilites", and the website either gave me the definitons of music OR psychology. It also just defined my keywords rather then describe the psychological affect of music on adults and children.
www.scholarpedia.org
-Proved to be the same as infoplease.com, unsucessful. Once again, I typed in many different keywords, all coming up with "No Results" except for a link to Amazon.com where I could buy books related to music or psychology, but again no actual information about the topic.

3c: Brainstorming Field Research Options
5 Field Research Options:
1) Interview my Introduction to Psychology professor, professor Froyd, and get it his perspective of how the brain and mind works and why we enjoy the sound of music. Also, I will ask his opinion about the "Baby Mozart Theory" and whether children who listened to classical music as an infant are smarter than other children who did not.
2) Interview my High School choir teacher, Ms. Nguyen. I will ask her questions like why she decided to have music become her career and what music means to her.
3) Interview the lecturer during my applied assignment for psychology. Part of my grade in psychology is to attend lectures about psychology, so hopefully I might be able to schedule an interview with that spokesperson and ask him/her a few questions about music psychology.
4) Create a survey and ask to have my class mates or a variety of friends and family to listen to different kinds of music then circle what feelings they have toward that particular song/if it brings back any memories.
5) Create a short 5-10 multiple choice survey and go to a music store (FYI, Best Buy, etc) and ask people in the cd aisle, if they mind sparing a few minutes of their time to fill it out and get their view of music and how their mind reacts to music. I would have to make sure my questions are simple but also have enough information to help create a solid research paper.

2c: Developing My Research Question
My refined and developed Research question:
Throughout the centuries, music has been created to support, individualize, inspire, and influence people's lives. But behind every played note of every written song, there is the psychological perspective of how different categories of music can affect the human's learning abilities and emotional behaviors and why only certain songs bring back particualr memories or feelings from their past.
Questions I came up with for my research paper:
WHAT...
-makes people enjoy different genres of music?
-gives us that feeling when we hear our favorite song?
-types of music affect people the most? (Triggering emotions, memories,etc)
-does the brain do to comprehend music?
-the process of the brain comprehending music?
WHY....
-do people react emotionally to a sad/happy song?
-do people enjoy music in general?
-do people like one type of music one day, and a completely different type the next?
-do people spend large amounts of money on music?
-do people pay money to see music be played live?
WHEN...
-is music the best time for people to be most receptive to music?
-is it better to play music to test the Mozart theory on babies? When they are sleeping or when they are awake?
WHERE...
-in the brain does music trigger our emotions and memories?
-does music come from?
WHO...
-is affected my music the most? Babies, children, teens, adults?
-who studies music psychology?
-who created the Mozart Theory?
HOW...
-are emotions, feelings, and memories created and remembered through music?
-do we know when music is triggering our brain/mind?
-does the Mozart Theory work exactly?
WOULD...
-people become interested in music pyschology if it were publicly discussed more often?
COULD...
-some people not be affected by music?
-people listen to only a bit of a song and know exactly what the song is or if it brings back memory or feeling?
SHOULD...
-music psychology be the only reasoning behind people's behavior? Such as road rage, depression, etc?
