Essay 3 credibility of sources

                                                               Works Cited
"Dad and Daughter - a Special Bond - Fathers Affect Girls' Emotional Adjustment." Bnet. Gale Group, 2004. Web. 20 Oct 2010. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1272/is_n2572_v121/ai_13358877/
            I'm not sure if this is a credible source because there is not an identified author, but it comes from a good original source (CBS and USA Today). The article includes quotes from Purdue University professors so therefore it's secondary information. Although there is a publication/edit date and comes from the CBS news network, I don't know that it's that credible if it doesn't have a known author.
Mack, Melodie. "The Importance of the Father/Daughter Relationship ." Healing Hearts & Families Counseling. Healing Hearts & Families, 2008. Web. 20 Oct 2010. http://www.healinghearts-families.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=68:theimportanceofthefatherdaughterrelationship&catid=37:families&Itemid=56
            This source is credible because the author is identified (Melodie Mack) and it was edited recently (2008). The information in the site is primary and the site seems to be pretty balanced- it gives information about the daughters of involved and uninvolved fathers. I'll keep this source.
Stimpson, Emily. "The Father-Daughter Factor." Fathers For Good. Knights Of Columbus, 15 Jun 2008. Web. 20 Oct 2010.  http://www.fathersforgood.org/ffg/en/common_challenges/factor.html
            This source is credible because the author is identified (Emily Stimpson). The article is actually an interview done by Emily Stimpson with Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician. The interview took place recently on June 15, 2008 and is primary information from the interview with Dr. Meeker. I think the article is balanced and I'll keep this source.
