- Abstract
The completion of a thesis is necessary in the training of future professionals in Psychology, it is an opportunity to practice values, skills and knowledge, although it also implies negative connotations in the students. For this reason, the present study aims to know the attitude of Mexican university students towards the completion of a thesis, as well as to determine the differences by sex and the relationship between the influencing factors in its preparation. A research with a non-experimental cross-sectional design, with exploratory, descriptive and correlational scopes was carried out, thus 598 students who are studying or have completed a degree in Psychology at the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (Mexico) participated. A questionnaire was applied consisting of an instrument that measures the perception variable of scientific research elaborated by Uribe, Márquez, Amador and Chávez (2011) and the Disposition scale for the Realization of a Thesis (DRT; Ruiz-Dodobara, 2005). Among the various findings, we can highlight the indecisive position of the students regarding the preparation of the thesis; likewise, differences were found by sex regarding "Personal interest in scientific research", "Unfavorable opinion regarding scientific research", and "Academic confidence for the thesis". Significant associations were found between "Perception of scientific research" and "Willingness to do a thesis". The results obtained are discussed and some suggestions are pointed out to promote the importance of the thesis in academic training.
