Abstract
Curriculum infusion efforts aimed at developing academic resilience were applied among first-semester psychology majors enrolled in an introduction to psychology course. Efforts emphasized studying and time-management skills. Students in the majors-only section receiving the curriculum infusion had significantly higher exam scores compared to the control section of introduction to psychology.
