Journal of Gustavus Undergraduate Psychology

The Journal of Gustavus Undergraduate Psychology serves as an outlet for publishing online the results of psychological research and reviews conducted and written by undergraduate students of Gustavus Adolphus College. Whereas the journal is intended primarily to showcase the independent honors projects of Gustavus psychology majors, any student may appeal to the Department Chair to include a report of noteworthy findings. Furthermore, one volume each year will be dedicated to publishing the abstracts of those projects presented at the Gustavus Psychology Research Symposium.
