Misconceptions about Psychology among College Students

A questionnaire consisting of 60 false statements related to psychology was administered to 531 students at 2 universities. Students marked each statement as true, false, or don't know/no opinion. Analysis of true responses indicated a decreasing level of misconceptions as students accumulated college credit hours in general and psychology credit hours specifically. Implications for teachers of psychology are discussed.
