Research in Anglophone literature and psychology often involves studying the internal attributes of authors, characters, and even readers for a better understanding of works. Researchers from the departments of Anglophone studies and psychology at UJKZ follow this method, often applying psychological theories to their studies. Surprisingly, researchers from both departments do not fully utilize the benefits of interdisciplinarity, despite its contribution to more conclusive results. This article aims at promoting interdisciplinarity between Anglophone literature and psychology at UJKZ by examining existing scientific collaborations, identifying their challenges, and proposing solutions for better interdisciplinary collaboration. A quantitative method approach is used, drawing on William H. Newell’s (2001) theory of interdisciplinarity. Lack of communication is identified as the main obstacle to interdisciplinarity among these researchers, emphasizing the need for improving communication to reach more effective scientific collaboration.
