Abstract: | A survey of students enrolled in Introductory, Fourth-Year, Graduate and Extension studies in psychology indicated that psychology was studied because it is intellectually challenging and is concerned with people. Students, particularly females, perceive difficulties in finding employment following graduation. The university is valued for its contribution to intellectual, personal and social development. Attitudinal differences between males and females, among the four subject groups, and among students from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes are discussed.
