The goal was to examine the relationship between the number of psychology courses students have taken and their perceptions of psychology as a science. Additionally, differences in perceptions of psychology among psychology, education, and natural science majors were examined. Results indicated that students who had taken four or more psychology courses had more favorable perceptions of psychology as a science compared to those who had taken no courses or one course and those who had taken two to three courses. No significant differences in overall perceptions of psychology emerged among students in the three majors.
目的是研究学生所修心理学课程的数量与他们对心理学作为一门科学的认知之间的关系。此外，还考察了心理学专业、教育专业和自然科学专业学生在心理学认知方面的差异。结果表明，与未修课程、修了一门课程以及修了两到三门课程的学生相比，修了四门或更多心理学课程的学生对心理学作为一门科学的认知更为积极。三个专业的学生在对心理学的总体认知上没有显著差异。
