Do Graduate Students Really Think Straight About Weird Things?
I’m Sean Hughes from the National University of Ireland, Maynooth and I presented my research at the APS 23rd Annual Convention in Washington, DC.
Students come to the study of psychology equipped with a range of misconceptions. Unless they are directly targeted for correction, students often leave with many of these erroneous beliefs intact. We tested 550 graduate psychology students to see if they could distinguish psychological fact from fiction.
