 Bu çalışmanın amacı psikoloji lisans öğrencilerinin bölüm ve kariyer tercihleri, üniversitedeki sosyal ilişkileri, akademik güdülenmeleri ve öğrenme süreçlerinin incelenmesidir. Fenomenolojik desenin kullanıldığı bu araştırmada 11i geleneksel ve 11i geleneksel olmayan psikoloji öğrencisi ile yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tematik analizler sonucunda elde edilen bulgular, katılımcıların psikoloji eğitimi kararını almalarında en fazla kişisel ilgimerak duygusunun etkili olduğunu ve akademik güdülenmelerinin yüksek olduğunu, arkadaş tercihlerinde benzer özelliklerin önemli rol oynadığını; çoğunluğunun eğitim yaşamlarında sorun yaşamadıklarını ve kariyerleri ile ilgili planlamaları olduğunu göstermiştir. Geleneksel yaşta olmayan katılımcıların geleneksel yaştaki katılımcılara göre daha düzenli ve disiplinli çalıştıkları; daha fazla aile yaşamı ile eğitsel sorumlulukları arasında denge kurmak için çabaladıkları ve bilgi edinmeyi psikoloji eğitiminin olumlu yönü olarak algıladıkları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarının psikoloji alanında çalışan uzmanlara, akademisyenlere, kariyer danışmanlarına ve ileride psikoloji eğitimi almak isteyenlere katkı sunması beklenmektedir.
