Korean public images of psychology relative to other disciplines were examined. A total of 3,318 volunteer participants rated six areas (i.e., interest, contribution to society, future prospect, importance, expertise, and personal knowledge) in 10 disciplines on a 8-point Likert scale with appropriate anchors. The data was analysed by ANOVA, multiple regression analysis and t-test. The results showed that psychology, compared to other disciplines, was rated high in personal interest and personal knowledge, but was rated low in contribution to society. Implications are discussed.
