Abstract

Despite its importance, research literacy remains a significant challenge in psychology education: undergraduates consistently report research subjects uninteresting, irrelevant, and anxiety-provoking. Students’ negative attitudes toward research subjects impact subject satisfaction and engagement, and subsequently, discipline performance and attrition. However, in line with utility-value interventions, explicitly connecting the relevance and importance of research skills to clinical careers might increase students’ interest in research subjects as well as their perceived value to their careers. Thus, the present study examined the impact of showcasing the utility of psychological literacy via alumni career journeys on students’ interest in, and perceived value of, research subjects.
