PsycINFO can be useful in looking at psychosocial aspects of education. The following are controlled vocabulary terms from the Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms. The controlled vocabulary, like MeSH, is arranged in a hierarchy so terms can be “exploded” to search the main or parent term and any of the dependent or children terms in one step. The hierarchical arrangement is noted below; however, all terms that may be searched in an explode may not be listed. Items marked with a + have indented terms that are expanded elsewhere in this section.
