Gen Z shares many technological, social, mental, and public health experiences which may influence their decision to major in psychology and acquire related skills and knowledge. This study interviewed and surveyed Gen Z psychology majors so programs can anticipate incoming student characteristics and their desired learning goals. In Study 1, focus groups of Gen Z psychology majors were asked open-ended questions regarding their shared characteristics, why they chose to major in psychology, and their desired skills and learning outcomes. In Study 2, an online sample of Gen Z psychology majors rated their agreement with the content-coded themes of Study 1. Study 1 revealed Gen Z psychology majors tend to be tech-savvy, socially aware, and change oriented. Reasons for majoring in psychology included a desire to improve society, increase mental health, and a curiosity about others' behavior. The most frequently desired skills and learning outcomes included developing interpersonal and communication skills, greater perceptiveness, critical thinking, and applied knowledge. Study 2 confirmed these findings. Gen Z psychology majors share many characteristics and expectations that can inform how psychology programs relate to students and anticipate their needs. Findings may guide recruitment and other programmatic decisions.
