摘要
Internationalization as a concept and strategic agenda has been a topic of debate among graduate programs worldwide. Brazil currently has 101 Psychology graduate programs spread throughout all its geographic regions. The present work aims to characterize the Brazilian stricto sensu graduate programs in Psychology with respect to their international activities. The programs that offer only the master’s (M) course and those that offer the master’s and doctorate (M&D) courses, with academic and professional profiles, are comparatively described. Data circumscribing the years 2017 to 2020 was collected by means of an electronic form addressed to all programs. Ninety-seven programs provided the requested information. The results are categorized into four dimensions: Research, Intellectual Production, Institutional Conditions, and Mobility and Academic Performance. The dimensions were composed of 34 indicators that measure different degrees of internationalization. The basic findings demonstrate that the graduate programs in Brazil are at different levels of internationalization when specific dimensions are compared. For instance, the proportion of international intellectual products tends to be higher in programs with M&D courses than those with only M courses, whereas intellectual production is still incipient in programs with an M professional profile. International activities such as participation in scientific events and “ad hoc” reviewing are among the most performed by faculty members. In contrast, the presence of international postdoctoral researchers in Brazilian labs is one of the lowest indicators. Based on a large, updated, and detailed set of data, the results can contribute to the understanding of the current stage of internationalization in Brazilian Psychology and serve as an important means for planning future actions at both individual and institutional levels. © 2023, Associação Brasileira de Psicologia.
