These citations are propaganda, not peer-reviewed studies.<br /><br />I have resisted being forced into teaching the AP Psychology curriculum for years, and Dartmouth's decision feels like vindication. I'm more interested in whetting my students' appetite so they're excited to take a real college course than force-feeding them factoids that they'll forget before they arrive at the ivy-covered halls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485236030082659520.post-29964369456134375102013-01-22T09:54:42.367-08:002013-01-22T09:54:42.367-08:00Thanks for your attention to this interesting bit ...Thanks for your attention to this interesting bit of controversy from Dartmouth.

Dartmouth may have some really interesting, unique goals/skills for their intro psych class, but THAT'S the information that needs to be discussed in order to really understand the meaning of their study. This is actually a good example of how operational definitions are crucial to an accurate interpretation of a study. <br /><br />Can Dr. Hull provide any more details about the test they used?
