Abstract
We describe a method for helping introductory psychology students identify interdisciplinary connections among 5 social science disciplines. Pre- and posttest data assessed 359 undergraduates’ understanding of psychology's relation to other fields. Results indicate the method is effective and provides one way for individual instructors to address interdisciplinary themes in their courses.
Portions of this article were presented at the annual meeting of the Association for Psychological Science (May 2007) in Washington, DC.
We thank Laura Graves and Amber Lupo for their help collecting and coding the data.
