    Ok, but this is only about the high school AP psychology curriculum

      I’m aware. The class is supposed to mimic the psychology 101 course. AP courses meet the requirement to award college credit for those courses.

      If the two are radically different then the college should not accept the AP course for credit.

        AP curricula are standardized, every high school AP psych class covers the exact same material and has the same test. On the other hand, intro college classes, like the one you taught, can vary from school to school or even between professors. The AP psych curriculum including a couple more subjects than you include in your curriculum certainly doesn’t meet any definition of “radically different.”

        Other professors do include this material. And AP psych is supposed to mimic a psych 101 course, but it doesn’t have to mimic your course.
