Abstract
The goal of this project was to create a measure for psychological critical thinking (PCT) for the Psychology Bachelor at the University of Groningen. The Groningen Psychological Critical Thinking Task (GPCTT) is an essay task in which participants critically evaluate sources and come to a conclusion about the topic of resit exams. The essays are evaluated using a rubric consisting of five aspects that try to capture PCT: methodology, fallacy, assumption of authors, bias of participants, and synthesis. Eighteen first-year Psychology Bachelor students completed a survey consisting of the GPCTT and the Psychological Critical Thinking Exam (PCTE). A correlation analysis has been done to examine whether the scores of the GPCTT are positively correlated to the PCTE, which was unfortunately not the case. Suggestions for alterations of the task and the rubric have been made for future research.
