Nother Tutorial. Yeaaah, I do a lot of different stuff atm D:

Now, Where do I get scientific research from?
If there's any kind of specific thing I'm looking for, I google. Learn to distinguish your reliable and unreliable sources and you already have a shitton of good material online. If you have a connection to a University, then the better, you have access to a ton of good articles online! USE IT! Or go to a public library.
A blog I can recommend to ANYONE: You Are Not So Smart
What I personally use to get articles is an iPad app called "Zite", which basically creates a personalised magazine out of online articles. It tracks the kind of articles you like and gives you more based on your preferences. After using it a while, I get a lot of articles about recent studies, a lot of them referring back to the source material, which is always nice.

Pretty nice! Although you might want to stress that all of this is variable depending on your intended audience and chosen style. A children's book would feature characters that are far more "cookie cutter" than a pensive literary novel that would focus more on character/role deconstruction.

Now there's one thing missing from this tutorial that I learned about once but have since forgot....

how do you get your written text to have those borders? lol

It really is important and productive to imagine your characters in different situations, being asked different questions and so on. The details does the story. Without them, everything is vauge, and that is boring.
Another important factor, I think, is that humans actually do change their mind. So it would only be logical if our characters also would do that more or less.
Just think about all the things that you yourself actually have an opinion about. That's a LOT. So of course our chars need that too, even more so for the really important ones.

Good tutorial. I think this will help many in their storywriting ^^
