The Use of Stickers to Generate Interest in Comparative Psychology: An Extension of Abramson and Long (2012)

This article describes the use of stickers to generate interest in comparative psychology. It is based on an earlier publication in which users can design their own official United States postage stamps (Abramson & Long, 2012). The company that developed the product no longer manufactures it, so we created a substitute using stickers that can be placed, for instance, on the bottom flap of an envelope. In addition to highlighting aspects of comparative psychology, such as individuals, apparatus, and movements, the stickers can also be used to feature other aspects of psychology. They can also be used as a fundraiser and recruitment tool. Developing the stickers is an excellent student-based project suitable for all courses, including the history of psychology. QR and/or bar codes can be added to link to student-developed resources.
