2. Citation in APA format of each item (5-10 total sources) Van Vugt, M., Hogan, R., & Kaiser, R. B. (2008). Leadership, followership, and evolution: Some lessons from the past. American Psychologist, 63(3), 182-196. doi: 10.1037/0003-066X. 63.3.182 This article analyzes the topic of leadership from an evolutionary perspective and proposes three conclusions. Although it offers an historical perspective, I use only one of the the authors’ points about leader-follower relations in early human societies. To support my project question of what makes one person a better leader than others, I will focus on the point that, “leadership cannot be studied apart from followership and that an adequate account of the leadership process must consider the psychology of followers” (p. 193) . The authors have a wide range of expertise in the area of business leadership. Van Vugt is on faculty at University of Kent; Hogan and Kaiser work in business systems assessment. The article appears in the highly cited, peer-reviewed journal, American Psychologist. Relevancy what does this item provide for your story?

18. My question is when is it appropriate to use an archive and when is it appropriate to use a database? Is one better than the other? Even though online archives are available I've read in another article that it may be easier to use a database due to the Boolean search methods that can be used and the more advanced search methods. Does the possible quantity of a database outweigh the quality of material in an archive?   -Ranni

25. Although Archives may hold very unique and rare objects, the process in order to access the information may take a lot of time. Having to register, give your personal identification, or maybe even getting a recommendation or special permission to be admitted to an archive is very time consuming. Once the steps to being admitted are complete there is a possibility the material one might need for research may not be accessed, or may have restrictions on use and access. Even though archives have exclusive materials, this article does not persuade me towards archives over libraries.  -Addie

26. why would I ever use an archive? • legislation (statutes, regulations, and orders-in-council) and case law (decisions of courts and administrative tribunals) • genealogy / family tree • popular culture / period pieces • historical topics (perspectives, revisionism, unheard/unconsidered voices, etc.)

27. Is there any restrictions put in place by institutions or archivists based on what your research is used for if the artifact is very valuable? In the same subject area, are private owners or archives obliged to let their artifacts be examined and used for research? -Aidan

32. After reviewing the Folkstreams archive I couldn't help but notice the similarities between this archive and the FMG Master Academic Collection database I presented on. Both are sources of video material one can use for either research or a presentation in an educational setting. Both allow the user to edit their search by category, such as "By Publisher" or "By Subject".  The Folkstream archive looks more dated compared to the modern look/design of FMG Master Academic Collection. FMG Master Academic Collection also hosts more videos than Folkstream, but this does not necessarily mean it is better. -Ranni Folkstreams…The only thing that concerns me is who runs this site and whether or not this is an unbiased site. It seems like the videos they predominately focus on rural America and fail to explore industry and war. Due to this, I think the site is good for a portion of American history, but it is not, by any stretch, all encompassing.  -Nick
