Summary

This study surveyed over 1,500 psychology students across Latin America to see if their self-rated knowledge of evidence-based practice matched their actual understanding. Participants completed an online questionnaire about their familiarity with and use of evidence-based methods. The goal was to identify gaps between perception and objective knowledge to improve training.
