We describe the use of examples from sport and exercise psychology in the undergraduate psychology curriculum. Sport and exercise have much to offer general psychology and can provide interesting and stimulating examples of psychological research, principles, and practice. We discuss sport and exercise topics from developmental psychology, social psychology, and introductory statistics.

General psychology includes many areas of investigation: biologicalbases of behavior, sensation and perception, consciousness andattention, motivation and emotion, conditioning, learning, cognition,language, thinking, remembering and forgetting, intelligence, and personality.During the first half of the twentieth century, psychologistsclassified themselves as structuralists, functionalists, behaviorists,gestaltists, psychoanalysts, existentialists, humanists, or cognitivists.Today, such classifications are little used in the West. If one looks at thepublications of the American Psychological Association and the BritishPsychological Society, psychologists classify themselves according totheir fields or specific topic of hterest, such as social psychology,developmental psychology, abnormal psychology, psychotherapy,counseling, occupational psychology, psychometrics, media, women,and so on. Several tools are used in psychology to study behavior,among them surveys, questionnaires, interviews, observations, experiments,and tests.Psychology is defined as the scientific study of human behavior, andits theories and methods are considered scientific and universal.According to this understanding, there are four important terms that need ...

Undergraduate Psychology

Information about the undergraduate psychology courses preferred by graduate programs is useful for a number of purposes, including (a) advising psychology majors who are interested in graduate school, (b) undergraduate curriculum planning, and (c) examining whether graduate programs’ preferences reflect national guidelines for the undergraduate psychology curriculum. The authors examined the undergraduate course preferences of U.S. psychology graduate programs ( N = 548). Among Clinical/Counseling (C/C) programs, PsyD programs’ course preferences were more likely than those of master’s and PhD programs to reflect national undergraduate curriculum guidelines. Differences also emerged among various types of training (e.g., C/C vs. Educational/School), and these are important for advisors and students to understand.

Sociological Studies

The-role of race and ethnicity in explaining variability in human behavior has long been considered in the anthropological and sociological studies of play, games, and sport. This paper suggests ways in which the field of sport and exercise psychology might more systematically begin to incorporate factors of race and ethnicity into its research agendas. The paper is divided into four major sections. The first section provides evidence of a dearth of such research in the field of sport and exercise psychology. The second section presents an overview of current work that highlights ethnic/racial differences in motor performance, physical activity levels, and recreational sport participation. The third section explores the theoretical relevance of comparative research on ethnic/racial similarities and differences in psychological processes and behavior. Finally, potential research methodologies that might be used in psychological research in sport and exercise contexts are presented. Implications for both basic and applied work are offered.

College Catalog

To provide information on psychology curricula in North Carolina, college catalog descriptions of the 42 undergraduate psychology programs in the state were examined. Although most programs (79%) offered only a general psychology baccalaureate degree, 21% offered specially designated degrees and within-degree concentrations, usually in addition to a general degree. When the 63 degree options of these 42 programs were examined, the modal minimum introductory, methodological, and capstone requirements were found to be a 1–term introductory course, a 1–term statistics course, a 1–term experimental design course, and I integrative experience, which was most often a history and systems course or a senior seminar. These components are very similar to those of the model undergraduate curriculum recommended by Brewer et al. (1993).

The Many

Though Alfred Binet was a prolific writer, many of his 1893–1903 works are not well known. This is partly due to a lack of English translations of the many important papers and books that he and his collaborators created during this period. Binet’s insights into intelligence testing are widely celebrated, but the centennial of his death provides an occasion to reexamine his other psychological examinations. His studies included many diverse aspects of mental life, including memory research and the science of testimony. Indeed, Binet was a pioneer of psychology and produced important research on cognitive and experimental psychology, developmental psychology, social psychology, and applied psychology. This paper seeks to elucidate these aspects of his work.
