Introductory psychology (Intro Psych) is one of the most popular and frequently taught courses on
college campuses, yet educators in psychology have limited knowledge about what is covered in
classes around the nation or the extent to which class content reflects the current scope of the
discipline. There is no explicit model to guide course content selection for the intro course, which
poses substantial challenges for instructors. This article proposes a new model for teaching the
intro course that integrates (a) scientific foundations, (b) 5 major domains or pillars of knowledge
(biological, cognitive, developmental, social and personality, and mental and physical health), and
(c) cross-cutting themes relevant to all domains (cultural and social diversity, ethics, variations in
human functioning, and applications; American Psychological Association, 2014). We advocate
for national assessment of the course, a similar introductory course for majors and nonmajors, the
inclusion of experiential or laboratory components, and additional training resources for instructors of the intro course. Given the exponential growth of psychological knowledge and applications during the past decades, we caution against attempting to provide exhaustive coverage of all
topic areas of psychology in a one-semester course. We conclude by discussing the challenges that
lie ahead for the discipline of psychology as it launches this new model for Intro Psych.

the central pathway to the discipline and may be psychologys most influential course.
Given the importance of Intro Psych for completing the
undergraduate psychology major as well as fulfilling general
education requirements, APAs Board of Educational Affairs
(BEA) appointed a working group to provide recommendations for strengthening the common core of the Intro Psych
course. Working group members, the authors of this article,
represented different institutional contexts and levels such as
high schools, community colleges, 4-year colleges, and research universities. Members brought significant experience
related to conducting research on, writing about, and teaching
Intro Psych. Inspired by recommendations from the APA Principles for Quality Undergraduate Education in Psychology
(BEA Steering Committee, APA National Conference on Undergraduate Education in Psychology, 2011) and Undergraduate Education in Psychology: A Blueprint for the Future of
the Discipline (Halpern, 2010), the BEA charged the working
group with (a) examining the common core of the Intro Psych
course at the college level, including the content, outcomes,
laboratory components, and implications for a major versus a
nonmajor directed course; and (b) recommending potential
action steps to BEA for strengthening the common core. This
article summarizes and advances key recommendations from
the working group and proposes a new model for teaching
Intro Psych.

2004). Examples of these problems include learning and memory challenges, mental disorders, poverty, international conflicts, prejudice and discrimination, exploitation and violence,
depression and dysphoria, child neglect and parental divorce,
and the rising medical costs associated with behavioral and
cultural factors. Psychological science has a demonstrated
track record of enhancing human functioning at both microand macrolevels (e.g., American Psychological Association
[APA] Presidential Task Force on Enhancing Diversity, 2005;
APA, Presidential Task Force on Psychologys Contribution to
End Homelessness, 2010). For example, psychological studies
focus on optimizing human potential and cover diverse issues
such as successful parenting and aging, athletic and artistic
flow, extraordinary memory and reasoning, maximizing the
development of intelligence, increasing group performance,
and improving environmental conservation. Psychological
clinical science is also central to understanding human distress
and demonstrating the impact of psychological treatments on
human functioning and interpersonal relationships (APA,
2012). These issues represent a sample of the many educational highlights that students encounter in the Intro Psych
course.
Many of the most exciting advances in psychology today are
emerging across traditional psychology topic areas, defined as
psychological subfields such as personality and learning, and
across disciplines (Cacioppo, 2007), and it is important for the
Intro Psych course to reflect these developments. Some departments have now merged social and personality psychology in
doctoral training, and terms such as social neuroscience have
emerged as foci of study. Many research questions are also
better answered by synthesizing multiple topic areas of psychology. For example, understanding romantic relationships
can be improved by linking neurochemistry (e.g., oxytocin),
social experience (e.g., self-fulfilling prophecies), personality
(e.g., traits), and cognitive psychology (e.g., automatic
thoughts). Comprehensive understandings of the mind and
behavior require an integration of topic areas. One cannot
develop a complete and comprehensive understanding of behavior by focusing on only a biological, cognitive, or a social
topic area (Cacioppo, 2013).
No longer a collection of independent topic areas based
on historical or administrative distinctions, psychology in
the 21st century has become an integrative multilevel science. For example, the combination of cognitive, social, and
neuroscience topic areas are used to understand the inner
workings of mirror neurons, and by extension, social behaviors of imitation and empathy (Iacoboni, 2009). Another
example can be seen in applications of attachment theory to
understand multiple topics such as child development, identity, romantic relationships, and group behavior (Goldberg,
Muir, & Kerr, 2013). An integrative approach conceptualizes the science of mind and behavior as different levels of
organization (e.g., biological, cognitive, and social), with
each contributing to our understanding of human behavior.

conceptually related to each other, have not been well translated to textbooks. Exceptions to traditional coverage can be
seen in some contemporary textbooks that include sections and
writing styles that seek to connect domains and specific topics
(e.g., Cacioppo & Freberg, 2013; Myers, 2013; Weiten, 2012)
by linking topic areas such as memory, personality, and emotion. Alternatively, the content of psychology has been organized around five major orientations or perspectives (biological, learning, cognitive, sociocultural, and psychodynamic),
which are then synthesized in a section that focuses on putting
the perspectives together (e.g., Tavris & Wade, 2001).

Additionally, cross-cutting themes that are relevant to all
topic areas, such as diversity and individual variation, offer
invaluable insights into the mind and behavior.
Unfortunately, the contemporary Intro Psych course structure does not adequately reflect the current scope of the discipline, which increasingly emphasizes multiple influences, interconnections, and synthesis. Many textbook authors still treat
the various topic areas of psychology (e.g., social, personality,
clinical) as if they are distinct and best studied in isolation of
other topic areas. However, contemporary psychological research infrequently utilizes material covered in just one chapter
of an Intro Psych textbook (Cacioppo, 2013). Despite significant technological and methodological innovations, the emergence of new topic areas, and the merging of preexisting topic
areas, most Intro Psych textbooks are comprised of the same
14 to 16 chapters (Griggs & Jackson, 2013) that appeared in
the 1960s. Over the past three decades, however, there has
been some change in the amount of coverage devoted to each
topic area (Griggs, 2014), which can be seen in increased space
given to topic areas such as health, consciousness, and learning, and decreased coverage devoted to sensation and perception.
The silo-like representation of psychology in most textbooks
is less evident when psychology is divided into domains or
overarching thematic areas that encompass broad areas of
psychological knowledge and study, such as cognitive and
sociocultural lenses, which are referred to in such documents
such as the National Standards for High School Psychology
Curricula (Standards; APA, 2011, p. 2) and the APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Major (Guidelines;
APA, 2007, 2014). These documents and the concept of domains, which we define as clusters of content areas that are
Although major studies have examined the psychology curriculum during the past two decades (e.g., Norcross et al.,
2016; Perlman & McCann, 1999; Stoloff et al., 2009), few
studies have investigated the course content of the introductory
course (Homa et al., 2013; Miller & Gentile, 1998). At a broad
global level, there is some consistency in what is covered,
given that 98% of teachers use conventional intro textbooks
(Miller & Gentile, 1998). Whereas textbooks show high consistency at the topical level (e.g., chapters on personality or
cognition; Griggs & Jackson, 2013), there is limited consistency at the specific level of terms or theories covered (Griggs,
Bujak-Johnson, & Proctor, 2004; Zechmeister & Zechmeister,
2000). Proctor and Williamss (2006) analysis of 33 Intro
Psych textbooks found that of the 4,902 different psychological terms that were used in these texts, only 428 appeared in
50% or more of the texts. While chapter titles are often the
same or similar across textbooks, chapter content varies considerably.
Instructors report rarely assigning readings beyond the
book, and allocate lecture time to chapter topics in proportion to the space apportioned to these topics in the textbook
(Griggs, 2014; Griggs & Bates, 2014). In a survey of 490
schools and colleges, instructors reported assigning on average 17 (of a possible 25) topics (e.g., learning, memory,
personality, abnormal; Miller & Gentile, 1998). Self-report
surveys of faculty members also reveal that a number of
topics (e.g., history, development, language) are not assigned (Miller & Gentile, 1998) or receive less time (Homa
et al., 2013).
The most recent study of Intro Psych content (Homa et al.,
2013) investigated student learning objectives (SLOs) and coverage of content in Intro Psych courses by examining a national
sample of syllabi and self-reported surveys completed by faculty. Over half of the syllabi contained objectives specific to
the science and application of psychology. Of the five major
learning outcomes recommended by the APA Guidelines
(APA, 2007, 2013), 66% of syllabi included psychologys
knowledge base; 60%, scientific inquiry and critical thinking;

educational recommendations for commonality of coverage, as typically exists in the introductory courses for
STEM disciplines.
Participants at the 2008 National Conference on Undergraduate Education in Psychology stated,
Given the ubiquitous relevance of psychology to other majors
and fields, most jobs, and the world in general, as well as the
many contributions an understanding of psychology can have
to personal growth and development, all students need to
receive a common core of content. (Dunn, Brewer, et al.,

gys work with benchmarking scholarship in higher education, and incorporates implications for learning and assessment activities (APA, 2013). Goal 1 emphasizes the
knowledge base of psychology, with Learning Outcome 1.2
stating that students will identify key characteristics of
major content domains in psychology (e.g., cognition and
learning, developmental, biological, and sociocultural)
(APA, 2013, p. 18).
Participants in the 2008 APA National Conference on
Undergraduate Education (Dunn, Brewer, et al., 2010) proposed a guiding framework for Intro Psych that mirrors a
standardized core for the psychology major. The proposed
core for the major emphasizes scientific methods and foundations as well as the domains of cognition and learning,
developmental, biological, and sociocultural content. At
present, however, undergraduate psychology major requirements differ markedly from one institution to another in
terms of required courses and electives, required semester
hours, and the content and implementation of capstone
courses (Stoloff et al., 2009). Although Statistics, Research
Methods, Developmental and Physiological are the most
frequently required courses completed by majors (Norcross
et al., 2016), these topics are not covered consistently in
Intro Psych (Homa et al., 2013).
The three recent documents and guidelines described in
this section (APA, 2011, 2013; Dunn, Brewer, et al., 2010)
inform the teaching model we introduce in this article.
Although these recent documents share many features, the
language used in these documents and their descriptions of
and number of domains they specific vary somewhat.
These areas of overlap and discrepancy are discussed fur-
Research methods: The scientific method and related courses in research methods are the foundational building blocks and core of our discipline.
Consistent with Goal 2 of the Guidelines 2.0 (APA,
2013), students in Intro Psych learn about and
begin to develop scientific reasoning and problem
solving skills, including effective research methods
skills. Students learn basic skills and concepts for
interpreting behavior, studying research, and applying research design principles for the purpose of
drawing conclusions about behavior. Scientific
methods are also identified by 2008 National Conference participants (Dunn, Brewer, et al., 2010) as
the central core of an undergraduate psychology
curriculum, and as one of seven domains of the
Standards for high school teaching (APA, 2011).

Sufficient breadth representing key pillars/domains: The study of each domain or pillar is essential as each represents a foundational aspect of
the field. To ensure that all students receive instruction in the five domains or pillars, we recommend that Intro Psych include at least two topics
from each of five main pillars of the field, which
are reorganized and modified from the domains
specified in Guidelines 2.0 (APA, 2013), the Standards (APA, 2011), and 2008 National Conference
recommendations (Dunn, Brewer, et al., 2010).
Although these previous documents use domains
to describe related clusters of knowledge and research, the number and organization of domains
they specify vary. To differentiate our document
from previous documents, we use the term pillars.
The pillars encompass all chapters in psychology
textbooks (e.g., material listed within parentheses
below) while also mapping onto course names,
contemporary political structures, graduate training
programs, and departmental core courses. Pillar
labels are easily identifiable as major chapters in
Intro Psych textbooks, providing students with
points of connection that prior domain language
did not easily afford.
Pillar 1: Biological (e.g., Neuroscience, Sensation,
Consciousness)
Pillar 2: Cognitive (e.g., Cognition, Memory, Perception, Intelligence)
Cross-cutting themes: Cross-cutting themes represent values that are relevant to all areas of contemporary psychology and also hold promise for building initial interconnections and linkages across
content areas (e.g., Dunn, Brewer, et al., 2010;
Littleford & Nolan, 2013; Trimble, Stevenson, &
Worrell, 2003). We recommend that the following
themes and corresponding questions receive coverage for each topic area included in the course.
Just as all the pillars of a building are composed of
the same different building materials (e.g., sand,
pebbles, and cement), all the domains of psychology also have similar themes. The inclusion of
cross-cutting themes will increase the likelihood
that important issues such as diversity and ethics
are frequently on students radars versus presented
as solitary requirements boxes to be checked off
as completed.
Cultural and social diversity: What are variations across individual and roles, including
those based on age, gender, sexual orientation,
gender identity, ethnicity/race, culture, national
origin, religion, disability status, language, and
socioeconomic status? Choose at least two.
Ethics: What are the major ethical considerations for conducting research or applying content related to the topic or phenomenon?
Variations in human functioning: What are the
positive and negative extremes of the phenomenon under study? Highlight failures and successful examples.
Applications: How does the content of the
course apply to everyday life? How can the
content of the course contribute to improving
ones life and addressing societal problems?
Consistent with other features of this model, the crosscutting themes are drawn from previous documents. We
followed Guidelines 2.0 (APA, 2013) by choosing to infuse
themes of diversity across all content areas. A second crosscutting theme (ethics) appears as one of five major guidelines in Guidelines 2.0 (APA, 2013). The third and fourth
cross-cutting themes (variations in functioning and applications) are represented as two of the seven teaching domains
of the Standards. Three of the four cross-cutting themes
(diversity, ethics, application) are also infused within the

encourages instructors of Intro Psych and Intro Psych textbook authors to do what the field implicitly and explicitly
aspires to do in theory but finds hard to do in practice. Intro
Psych textbook authors can help instructors truly integrate
as per the dictionary definition, which speaks to organizing
constituent elements into a coordinated and harmonious
whole. Psychologists are likely to hold different perspectives about the degree to which psychology is an integrated
science as defined by a dictionary definition. However,
psychologists are increasingly likely to share the view that
psychologys role as a hub science points to the importance
of exploring interconnections within psychology as well as
psychologys interconnectedness to other sciences (Cacioppo, 2013). Similarly, a high proportion of psychologists
are likely to agree that whereas a string of unrelated
observations would not be terribly enlightening (Weiten,
2012, p. 23), the comparison and interweaving of differing
domains provides a more holistic and complete understanding of human beings.
Given the complexity of integration, we recommend that
instructors provide explicit examples of how the different
pillars of psychological science interact as well as assign
classroom and writing activities that call on students to use
topic areas from multiple domains to answer psychological
questions. For example, lectures and teaching activities
might focus on how conflict in close relationships can be
better understood by exploring the various contributions of
personality characteristics, social or situational factors, developmental histories of each partner, and underpinning
biological factors. Teaching about motivation, an aspect of
the Social and Personality pillar, can be enriched by also
exploring biological components of hunger and sex and
related textbook chapters on biological processes. The topic
of learning is placed in the Developmental pillar because of
its relevance to developmental maturation and adaptation
over time, but its connections to the Cognition pillar (e.g.,
memory and behavioral aspects of learning) and the Physical and Mental Health pillar (e.g., behavior modification)
are also important. To summarize, each pillar/domain has
substantive implications for the others in the pursuit of
comprehensive psychological explanations and applications. Studying each domain is essential, but a complete
understanding of the mind and behavior is more likely to be
achieved by an integration of what psychologists know and
can learn across multiple domains than by focusing only on
individual domains.

less of why students take the course (APA, 2014, Recommendation 2; Halpern, 2010). Although some psychology
departments may be tempted to create an Intro Psych course
specifically for psychology majors, there is no evidence that
offering two courses is needed.
Departments that want a more robust Intro Psych course
for their majors may instead modify other course requirements and curriculum sequencing. For example, although
most baccalaureate programs require their majors to take
Research Methods early in their undergraduate experience
(Stoloff et al., 2009), departments that want to provide
enriched early experiences might be better served by creating additional courses, such as career development (Atchley, Hooker, Kroska, & Gilmour, 2012; Brinthaupt, 2009;
Thomas & McDaniel, 2004), courses that prepare students
for the major (Atchley et al., 2012; Dillinger & Landrum,
2002), or writing in the major (Goddard, 2003).

Bernstein, 2015) provide a variety of activities and assignments to aid the Intro Psych teacher. Additionally, free, open
source instructor aids (e.g., Afful, Good, Keeley, Leder, &
Stiegler-Balfour, 2012; Gurung, 2014b) summarize best practices and select from the many resources available, to provide
a starting instructor with a clear, concise, and concrete set of
tools. In addition, technologies such as clickers (Landrum,
2015) and Mechanical Turk (an online system run by Amazon.com to provide quick and inexpensive access to online
research participants; Goodman, Cryder, & Cheema, 2013) can
contribute to options for incorporating more research into
class. We also advise Intro Psych educators to read about
creative teaching methodologies and to participate regularly in
faculty development opportunities and conference presentations that focus on the teaching of psychology.
These tools notwithstanding, the larger challenge involves convincing faculty members to update content, adopt
a new model, and employ evidence-based teaching styles
instead of relying on what has worked reasonably well in
the past. Given the strong relationship between faculty
development activities, on the one hand, and their influence
on changes in teaching behavior, classroom performance,
and student learning outcomes, on the other hand (Chism,
Palmer, & Price, 2012), additional training opportunities are
of great importance (APA, 2014, Recommendation 4).
Although adopting this new pillar model may initially
seem difficult, reorganizing or pruning the extent to which
some specific concepts (e.g., higher order conditioning)
within major topics (e.g., learning) are currently covered
can make this recommendation manageable. Examples of
syllabi to facilitate use of this model are available (APA,
2014). In our experience, the implementation of this model
can be relatively straightforward, is compatible with most
introductory textbooks, and brings a fresh and contemporary feel to Intro Psych for both the instructor and the
student.
At first, covering all four cross-cutting themes for each topic
area may seem an imposing task. If, as we recommend, an
instructor emphasizes two topic areas from each of the five
domains, she or he will cover 10 major topic areas. Integrating
four cross-cutting themes within each of the 10 topics as well
as focusing on integration may appear especially daunting.
However, this task is not as impractical as it may seem, as
many themes are easily covered together within a topic area.
When covering psychological disorders (Abnormal in Pillar 5),
for example, the instructor can note the ethical considerations
of doing research with people who may not be able to give
their consent (ethics), identify some cultural differences in how
depression manifests (culture and diversity), discuss how classical conditioning principles help psychological scientists understand phobias (application), and discuss what research into
epigenetics tells us about the development of psychological
disorders (individual differences). When covering social psychology (Pillar 4), one might discuss the issues involved in
deceiving participants in experimental research (ethics), explain the differences between individualist and collectivist cultures (culture), give examples of how social psychological
principles are used in advertising (application), and discuss
how personality differences contribute to differences in degrees of conformity (individual differences). Students can also
be asked to generate ideas by considering questions related to
cross-cutting themes (e.g., What are the ethical implications
of this topic?).
