Abstract:
Given the many changes in the introductory psychology textbook market in the
past 2 decades and the lack of a recent citation study of introductory
texts, we conducted a citation analysis of a stratified random sample of
current texts. To provide a more comprehensive picture of current citation
emphases, we extended our analysis to the top 60 authors. As expected,
historically prominent psychologists dominated the top 15, with Freud cited
most often. We also found that the citation patterns reflected recent
changes in the prominence of various schools of scientific psychology with
cognitive psychology well represented. We discuss the role of these data in
students' perceptions of psychology and in helping introductory teachers to
make course content choices.
