摘要
We conducted an analysis of source material in data graphs included in introductory psychology texts. Our findings showed an increasing trend toward inclusion of graphs representing more recent source material as well as a greater frequency of data graphs derived from research in "softer" areas of psychology. An examination of the most frequently occurring graphs offers a snapshot of the types of quantitative relationships that textbook authors believe should comprise the student's first encounter with psychology.
