Developing a Model Graduate Political Psychology Curriculum. Final Report.
Post, Jerrold M.
This is the final report of a three-year project at George Washington University (District of Columbia) that was intended to develop an understanding of the knowledge and skills required of a political psychologist and to design a model interdisciplinary graduate curriculum in political psychology that could be exported to other universities. The core curriculum, which drew on a national survey of experts in the field for course development and evaluation, was developed over 3 years, and a graduate speciality in political psychology was instituted at the university. During the course of the project it became clear that in order to address the process of institutionalizing such a program, it was also necessary to consider the organizational context. To this end, a diagnostic instrument for use in assessing institutional receptivity was developed and a national conference was held to help disseminate knowledge concerning curriculum content and the institutionalization process. Appendices include: the survey instrument, survey results, diagnostic instrument for assessing university context, evaluation report, program brochure, catalog listing, and the syllabus for Political Psychology 201: Fundamentals of Political Psychology.
