Introduction

For this Integrative Literature Review, the four domains of psychology selected are very

important and for each domain six articles were thoroughly researched. The first domain selected

is psychopathology and this is because it is very significant when it comes to diagnosis of patients.

The second one is developmental psychology which is important in understanding the average

cognitive abilities in the individuals of different ages. The third domain is the cognitive

psychology, and this explains what causes differences in cognitive abilities in some individuals.

The last domain that was selected is the psychopharmacology where the use of different drugs to

act on psychological issues was investigated.

Psychopathology

Feist, G. J., Dostal, D., & Kwan, V. (2021). Psychopathology in world-class artistic and

scientific creativity. Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts.

https://doi.org/10.1037/aca0000440.

This article is relevant to the domain because it talks about the importance of psychopathology

in creative achievement. Looking at the reliability of the research, it is reliable because it uses a

research methodology that is consistent in the production of the results; the research conducted an

in-depth analysis of some published biographies of creative artists and compared the biographies

-creative athletes and according to the research, the creative athletes have high levels of alcoholism

and mental health issues when compared to the creative artists.

Hawkins-Elder, H., & Ward, T. (2021). Describing disorder: The importance and advancement

of compositional explanations in psychopathology. Theory & Psychology, 31(6), 842?866.

https://doi.org/10.1177/09593543211021157

This article is credible, and peer reviewed, and this makes it ideal for the literature review of

the psychopathology domain. The results can be considered as valid because the methodology

which was selected was effective and consistent. The researchers observed all the APA ethical

principled during the research. Additionally, this article was selected because it explains about the

makeup of mental disorders. This contributes so much to the field of psychopathology in general

which aims at understanding the abnormal mental state of humans.

adult physical dating aggression. Psychology of Violence, 11(6), 569?579.

https://doi.org/10.1037/vio0000386.

The purpose of this research was to examine whether the psychopathology of the partners

during dating and an impact on dating aggression, looking and the individual psychopathology of

each partner and the combined psychopathology for all the partners. The findings from the research

showed that the externalizing and the internalizing symptoms of partners can be associated with

dating aggression. The findings from the research contribute to the psychopathology domain and

the findings are valid and statistically significant which means that they can be generalized to the

population of the romantic partners.

adults living through the COVID-19 pandemic? Clinical Medicine Insights: Psychiatry, 1?

5. https://doi.org/10.1177/11795573211069912

The research shows that the fear of death and the anxiety that is associated with the ongoing

covid-19 pandemic display the relationship that exists between the neuroticism and depression

symptoms. The results from the study are reliable because they are consistent with previous

research conclusions and findings. Also, the results shed light to the light to psychological

constructs that are useful to mental health professionals and other researchers on the topic. The

results from the study are valid and statistically significant and can be generalized to the larger

population.

the transience or stability of subthreshold psychopathology. Scientific Reports, 11(1),

23306. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-02711-3

The purpose of the research was to investigate how the stability of psychopathological

symptoms change according to the severity symptoms and the findings show that stability is the

same across different severity levels. The model for research that was used was generalized

additive models which is a valid model and the data analysis for the data collected was done using

a regression analysis. Regression analysis was a good choice because it is effective in showing the

relationship between different variables. The research is reliable and can be applied to the general

population.

Terry, C., & Lecci, L. (2021). Examining cognitive performance and psychopathology in

individuals undergoing parental competency evaluations. Professional Psychology:

Research and Practice. https://doi.org/10.1037/pro0000436

The research looks at a very important and valid topic in psychopathology and this is because

the competency of a parent is very important when it comes to the outcomes in their children and

even the rate of brain development in the children. The sample that was used in the research

includes mothers that had lower cognitive level and lower educational level. The research shows

that the cognitive functioning of parents plays a big role in the determination of whether they are

referred for parental competency evaluations which are done using a range of online tests and

evaluations.

Developmental psychology

successfully ageing. The research shows the important of health promotions when it comes to this

age group. Some of the benefits include longevity of life and the people taking their health and

medical wellbeing seriously. The research participants included the people in their retirement age.

The research is reliable since the authors have the necessary credentials and authority to write

about developmental psychology.

https://doi.org/10.1177/0022167817739732

Maslow talks about the hierarchy of needs in human beings highlighting some of the various

needs of humans. This research talks about some of the contributions that Maslow made to

developmental psychology that are not recognized and according to the research the dynamic

systems approach to healthy human development developed by Maslow was a preliminary for the

research that has been done on apparel constructs in developmental psychology. This research is

valid, and the methodology used produced consistent results. The findings of the research can be

used as a background for further research in developmental psychology.

Cognitive psychology looks at the various mental processes in humans. The area of

developmental psychology has grown over the years with so many findings on the topic. The

research that has been conducted in developmental psychology contributes so much to medical

education research and this is because understanding patients and medical conditions require a

comprehensive cognitive level understanding of different patients. The research is valid and can

be generalized to explain cognitive psychology and its interaction with various fields in medicine.
