Abstract
Undergraduates enrolled in either a “Psychology of Pseudoscience” course or another upper-division psychology course (N = 1,319 across five semesters) filled out pre-class and post-class questionnaires. “Pseudoscience” students averaged more pre-to-post-test change on measures of paranormal belief, attitudes toward psychological science, and mind-body-dualism, but not on measures of intellectual humility.
