Article Critique: River Running

River Running as a Therapeutic Medium by Spencer Lowe

My thoughts on Spencer's article critique:

The summary given of the article was vague and didn't give me much of a sense of what the main point or results of the research was. However, Spencer did a great assessment of the strengths of the article, which included that the way that data was collected and the ability to repeat the experiment because of the narrowness of the sample population. I probably wouldn't have seen how using journal entries would have limited negative effects on the research by making it seem to scientific. The weaknesses section also called attention to several things that could have affected the results of the study. I also thought it was great that Spencer was able to apply the article to his life and his enjoyment of rafting and nature.
