Check the syllabus to see what it says about the age of sources. I don't recall any limitations on age of citations in the business capstone, but yours may be different.
As a personal rule of thumb, I generally aim to find the most current sources as possible, but I consider anything within the last ten years is fair game. If you have to go back further than 10 years then its relevance depends on the material I suspect. Psychology probably doesn't change enough that recency will matter that much though, so going back 15-20 years may be perfectly acceptable.
Too bad you haven't started the course yet, you could just ping the course mentor to confirm the citation requirements.
