This document discusses the definitions and measurement of psychological literacy (PsyLit). It reviews how PsyLit has been defined over time, from early definitions focusing on core psychological concepts to more recent definitions incorporating nine qualities like applying psychology principles and communicating effectively. The document also examines different approaches that have been used to measure PsyLit, such as rating scales of concepts and multi-item surveys assessing domains like reflective thinking. Overall, the review finds no agreed-upon definition of PsyLit and that further validation is needed for models and measures of this construct.
Music Therapy and Suggestibility – Methods of Activating Mechanisms to Improv...ijtsrd
There are numerous research studies focused on the brain’s processing of information and on finding patterns and strategies to improve cognitive processes. To increase the capacity of memory and concentration we need to understand both the physiological and biochemical mechanisms, and the role of the external factors on these processes. The suggestions and harmonic combinations of music have proven their effectiveness by acting as a major influence in the field of neurophysiology, ameliorating a wide spectrum of memory and attention issues.

Role of Executive Functioning and Literary Reapproach for Measures of Intelli...inventionjournals
Over the years, Intelligence has been a crucial part in Psychological practices. Basic operational definition behind construct of Intelligence proposed by Wechsler (1944), was to act purposefully (Plan and control behaviors) and thinking rationally (organize and direct behavior). This operational definition was afterwards incorporated in measures for intelligence but as these measures were first aligned with academics, a major part of basic definition got overlooked. Previously Intelligence was divided in two major components that are Crystalized and Fluid Intelligence but resent Literary Reaproach was intended to enlighten the basic purpose of Intelligence measures and to highlight the overlooked components of Intelligence. These components are then further aligned with behavioral interpretations of Executive functions. It is proposed that alliance of Fluid Intelligence with Executive Functioning can bring pronounced change in clinical practices and change the bookish views of Intelligence into a functional approach.

Integrative and Biopsychosocial Approaches in Contemporary Clinical Psychology
Chapter Objective
· To highlight and outline how contemporary clinical psychology integrates the major theoretical models using a biopsychosocial approach.
Chapter Outline
· The Call to Integration
· Biopsychosocial Integration
· Synthesizing Biological, Psychological, and Social Factors in Contemporary Integration
· Highlight of a Contemporary Clinical Psychologist: Stephanie Pinder-Amaker, PhD
· Application of the Biopsychosocial Perspective to Contemporary Clinical Psychology Problems
· Conclusion
Having now reviewed the four major theoretical and historical models in psychology in Chapter 5, this chapter illustrates how integration is achieved in the actual science and practice of clinical psychology. In addition to psychological perspectives per se, a full integration of human functioning demands a synthesis of psychological factors with both biological and social elements. This combination of biological, psychological, and social factors comprises an example of contemporary integration in the form of the biopsychosocial perspective. This chapter describes the evolution of individual psychological perspectives into a more comprehensive biopsychosocial synthesis, perhaps first touched upon 2,500 years ago by the Greeks.
The Call to Integration
While there are over 400 different types of approaches to psychotherapy and other professional services offered by clinical psychologists (Karasu, 1986), the major schools of thought reviewed and illustrated in Chapter 5 have emerged during the past century as the primary perspectives in clinical psychology. As mentioned, these include the psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and family systems approaches. Prior to the 1980s, most psychologists tended to adhere to one of these theoretical approaches in their research, psychotherapy, assessment, and consultation. Numerous institutes, centers, and professional journals were (and still are) devoted to the advancement, research, and practice of individual perspectives (e.g., Behavior Therapy and International Journal of Psychoanalysis). Professionals typically affiliate themselves with one perspective and the professional journals and organizations represented by that perspective (e.g., Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies), and have little interaction or experience with the other perspectives or organizations. Opinions are often dogmatic and other perspectives and organizations viewed with skepticism or even disdain. Surprisingly, psychologists with research and science training sometimes choose not to use their objective and critical thinking skills when discussing the merits and limitations of theoretical frameworks different from their own. Choice of theoretical orientation is typically a by-product of graduate and postgraduate training, the personality of the professional, and the general worldview held of human nature. Even geographical regions.

Research in Industrial and Organizational Psychology From 1963.docxdebishakespeare
Research in Industrial and Organizational Psychology From 1963 to 2007:
Changes, Choices, and Trends
Wayne F. Cascio and Herman Aguinis
University of Colorado Denver
The authors conducted a content analysis of all articles published in the Journal of Applied Psychology
and Personnel Psychology from January 1963 to May 2007 (N � 5,780) to identify the relative attention
devoted to each of 15 broad topical areas and 50 more specific subareas in the field of industrial and
organizational (I–O) psychology. Results revealed that (a) some areas have become more (or less)
popular over time, whereas others have not changed much, and (b) there are some lagged relationships
between important societal issues that involve people and work settings (i.e., human-capital trends) and
I–O psychology research that addresses them. Also, much I–O psychology research does not address
human-capital trends. Extrapolating results from the past 45 years to the next decade suggests that the
field of I–O psychology is not likely to become more visible or more relevant to society at large or to
achieve the lofty goals it has set for itself unless researchers, practitioners, universities, and professional
organizations implement significant changes. In the aggregate, the changes address the broad challenge
of how to narrow the academic–practitioner divide.
Keywords: I–O psychology, research in, future of, human-capital trends
Significant scientific advances in the field of and industrial and
organizational (I–O) psychology are documented in detail in sev-
eral available reviews (e.g., Anderson, Ones, Sinangil, & Viswes-
varan, 2001; Borman, Ilgen, & Klimoski, 2003; Dunnette &
Hough, 1990, 1991, 1992; Rogelberg, 2007; Triandis, Dunnette, &
Hough, 1994). Although scientific advances are important in areas
central to the field, such as assessment, validation, motivation,
leadership, performance appraisal, training, data-analytic tech-
niques, and research methodology, one constant in the field has
been its support of the scientist–practitioner model (Bass, 1974;
Dunnette, 1990; Lapointe, 1990; McHenry, 2007; Murphy & Saal,
1990; Rupp & Beal, 2007).
Unfortunately, there are concerns with the effective implemen-
tation of the scientist–practitioner model because there is a serious
disconnect between the knowledge that academics are producing
and the knowledge that practitioners are consuming (McHenry,
2007; Rynes, Colbert, & Brown, 2002). As a result, many orga-
nizations fail to adopt the practices that I–O psychology research
suggests are most effective (Dipboye, 2007), and the scientist–
practitioner gap persists (Aguinis & Pierce, 2008; Anderson, 2007;
Cascio, 2007b, 2008; Gelade, 2006; Hodgkinson, 2006; Markides,
2007; Rynes, 2007; Rynes, Bartunek, & Daft, 2001), despite
efforts to reduce it.
In light of these concerns, it seems reasonable to address ques-
tions such as the following: What type of knowledge, in terms of
content, has I–O psychology produced and what ...

Introduction
Scientists in the recent past have been marveled at the human brain and how it is shaping so many spheres in the human life. Further proper understanding of how the human brains influences our behavior under any context or experience has made psychology one of the most fascinating field of study. According to Jean Piaget a renowned psychologist he argued that the person we are today is basically a compilation of various small habits, beliefs and even thoughts that go through in our mind. This analogy has further been expounded by Sigmund Freud who argued that the four major domains of psychology which are cognitive domain, biological domain, developmental domain and social and personality domain are all interlinked in one way or the other. Some of the theories in the four domains of psychology include a rational motive behavior therapy theory developed by Albert Elli, also Aron Beck’s theory on cognitive therapy. Other theories which have gained recognition in this field of psychology include the trait or perspective theory, evolutionary theory, psychodynamic theory and lastly social identity theory. In addition, there exist a connection between some of the domains for instance the biological domain which basically analyses how human biology influences virtually all the mental process and even our own behaviors.
This domain of psychology closely relates to cognitive domain of psychology which focuses majorly on the study of emotions, behavior, cognitions and even our relationship with the society and other people in general. Further the connection between the two domains is that cognitive domain relies on the biological domain to understand how our biology in terms of neuroscience influences our emotions, relationships, thoughts and behavior.
The same connection is true for developmental domain which relies on cognitive domain to understand what could be the factors that influences human being development. It is also worth noting that not all points from the four domains agree with each other since there are some points with competing views across the four domains. Some of these competing points include biological domain arguing that neuroscience controls largely all the other domain of psychology a point which is disputed by social and personality domain. It therefore means that integration of these domains is pertinent in providing a holistic understanding in the field of psychology. Also, the four domains have a long history spanning to even ten centuries since the field of psychology began immediately with the creation of human beings and its curiosity of trying to understand how its brain or mind works and further its relationship with the environment in which man exist in (Prada, Garrison, Camilo, & Rodrigues, 2018).

Business Intelligence is a specialty in gaining the benefit of information, such as the basic questions such as the different levels of customers, the way businesses are doing and the current path, what clinical trials should be and how much money they need to go out!. With a solid, organizations accept some choices rather than feeling. In fact, when making a "decision" structure, a strong computer system trusts any possibility made.
Implementing BI Tools Costs Reduction and Increase: Manufacturers' ring managers should have reliable addresses that will allow them to quantify the consequences of business decision budgets if they have correct information. BI can provide know-how in order to express links between procedures and inventories and downward financial results.
BI is good for illustrating productivity and risk profiles, for example, prizes and risks that may present a complex product offer (but probably a win). Manufacturers also perform more efficient scale economy with BI; For example, budget costs, such as unit dollars, inventory shifts and product costs, can also be expected to increase their costs by prior expanding (Dinter, B., & Lorenz, A. (2012)).
In simple ways, our business is data accumulation, analysis, report, budget and presentation. The purpose of using business intelligence in our business is to improve the visibility of our organizational and financial situation to better manage our business. For example, SAP says "business instead of analytical "business intelligence", this is the business analytics it is a unique term that includes data warehousing business intelligence, business information management and business performance management, Analytical applications and government, risk.

Background to Chosen Evidence-Based Intervention:
List the primary points for six sections.
i) Background of the practice problem/gap at the project site
One of the primary causes of disability worldwide, depression affects a sizable percentage of the population. Persistent feelings of sadness and guilt, changes in sleeping patterns (insomnia or oversleeping), changes in appetite, decreased mental and physical energy, unusual irritability, inability to enjoy once-enjoyed activities, difficulty working, and thoughts of death or suicide are all symptoms that can be associated with any type of depressive disorder. These "down" symptoms alone may indicate a unipolar depressive disorder like dysthymia or severe depression if they are present. A person may be diagnosed with bipolar illness if they experience alternating spells of depression and euphoria. Adolescents and young adults increasingly have difficulties with their mental health (Poppen et al., 2016). An individual's mental health is something only they can fully comprehend, making it difficult for friends and loved ones to spot warning signs in time to intervene. Juvenile and young adult suicide is a major problem in today's world. A lack of life experiences, self-confidence, and faith in one's own skills contribute to the suicides of many young individuals.
ii) Significance of the practice problem/gap at the project site
Mental illness has been a problem that is affected the population for a long period and worryingly young people and adolescents are experiencing many effects that lead to some committing suicide. The stress that today's youth encounter nowadays is the most significant of all these issues, especially the pressure they receive based on their academic expectations and poor communication about their troubles to their parents. There is also a gap in the schools in terms of students receiving counseling services because there are limited professional counselors that attend to student needs. Despite the fact that psychologists claim stress could be caused by anything, many young people find the rapid pace of modern life to be a significant source of anxiety. Many young individuals are inspired to take their own lives by the media's glorified depiction of suicide (Poppen et al., 2016). The reality that suicide is always fatal seems to be lost on many young people. Young people, in other words, consider suicide an o ...

Diane F. Halpern Claremont McKenna College
Eric Turkheimer University of Virginia
We review new findings and new theoretical developments
in the field of intelligence. New findings include the follow-
ing: (a) Heritability of IQ varies significantly by social
class. (b) Almost no genetic polymorphisms have been
discovered that are consistently associated with variation
in IQ in the normal range. (c) Much has been learned
about the biological underpinnings of intelligence. (d)
“Crystallized” and “fluid” IQ are quite different aspects of
intelligence at both the behavioral and biological levels.
(e) The importance of the environment for IQ is established
by the 12-point to 18-point increase in IQ when children
are adopted from working-class to middle-class homes. (f)
Even when improvements in IQ produced by the most
effective early childhood interventions fail to persist, there
can be very marked effects on academic achievement and
life outcomes. (g) In most developed countries studied,
gains on IQ tests have continued, and they are beginning in
the developing world. (h) Sex differences in aspects of
intelligence are due partly to identifiable biological factors
and partly to socialization factors. (i) The IQ gap between
Blacks and Whites has been reduced by 0.33 SD in recent
years. We report theorizing concerning (a) the relationship
between working memory and intelligence, (b) the appar-
ent contradiction between strong heritability effects on IQ
and strong secular effects on IQ, (c) whether a general
intelligence factor could arise from initially largely inde-
pendent cognitive skills, (d) the relation between self-reg-
ulation and cognitive skills, and (e) the effects of stress on
intelligence.
Keywords: intelligence, fluid and crystallized intelligence,
environmental and genetic influences, heritability, race and
sex differences
In 1994, a controversial book about intelligence byRichard Herrnstein and Charles Murray called The BellCurve was published. The book argued that IQ tests are
an accurate measure of intelligence; that IQ is a strong
predictor of school and career achievement; that IQ is
highly heritable; that IQ is little influenced by environmen-
tal factors; that racial differences in IQ are likely due at
least in part, and perhaps in large part, to genetics; that
environmental effects of all kinds have only a modest effect
on IQ; and that educational and other interventions have
little impact on IQ and little effect on racial differences in
IQ. The authors were skeptical about the ability of public
policy initiatives to have much impact on IQ or IQ-related
outcomes.
The Bell Curve sold more than 300,000 copies and
was given enormous attention by the press, which was
largely uncritical of the methods and .

class. (b) Almost no genetic polymorphisms have been
discovered that are consistently associated with variation
in IQ in the normal range. (c) Much has been learned
about the biological underpinnings of intelligence. (d)
“Crystallized” and “fluid” IQ are quite different aspects of
intelligence at both the behavioral and biological levels.
(e) The importance of the environment for IQ is established
by the 12-point to 18-point increase in IQ when children
are adopted from working-class to middle-class homes. (f)
Even when improvements in IQ produced by the most
effective early childhood interventions fail to persist, there
can be very marked effects on academic achievement and
life outcomes. (g) In most developed countries studied,
gains on IQ tests have continued, and they are beginning in
the developing world. (h) Sex differences in aspects of
intelligence are due partly to identifiable biological factors
and partly to socialization factors. (i) The IQ gap between
Blacks and Whites has been reduced by 0.33 SD in recent
years. We report theorizing concerning (a) the relationship
between working memory and intelligence, (b) the appar-
ent contradiction between strong heritability effects on IQ
and strong secular effects on IQ, (c) whether a general
intelligence factor could arise from initially largely inde-
pendent cognitive skills, (d) the relation between self-reg-
ulation and cognitive skills, and (e) the effects of stress on
intelligence.
Keywords: intelligence, fluid and crystallized intelligence,
environmental and genetic influences, heritability, race and
sex differences
In 1994, a controversial book about intelligence byRichard Herrnstein and Charles Murray called The BellCurve was published. The book argued that IQ tests are
an accurate measure of intelligence; that IQ is a strong
predictor of school and career achievement; that IQ is
highly heritable; that IQ is little influenced by environmen-
tal factors; that racial differences in IQ are likely due at
least in part, and perhaps in large part, to genetics; that
environmental effects of all kinds have only a modest effect
on IQ; and that educational and other interventions have
little impact on IQ and little effect on racial differences in
IQ. The authors were skeptical about the ability of public
policy initiatives to have much impact on IQ or IQ-related
outcomes.
The Bell Curve sold more than 300,000 copies and
was given enormous attention by the press, which was
largely uncritical of the methods and ...

Hello Kasie, You mentioned you were surprised at how long i.docxsalmonpybus
Hello Kasie,
You mentioned you were surprised at how long it took people to realize that sports psychology is an important topic. I was also surprised at how long it took. It was not until 1970 it had become established. Sports psychology grew and received recognition as its own subdiscipline (Williams & Krane, 2021). Sports psychology was no longer grouped with motor learning within kinesiology. Now there are people who are certified in sports psychology who analyze the development and performance in an athletic individual.
Along with you, I was surprised with just the few women the material discussed who made major contributions to sports psychology as we know it. I like how you mentioned the lengths women had to go to be heard during those times. The book did open my eyes and made me more grateful to have access to factual material and be able to have freedom to express my thoughts. Though going through hardships, there were several women who have assumed leadership roles in developing sports psychology (Krane & Whaley, 2010). Though there were not many women, the women who did contribute had a significant influence on the development of it. You mentioned how the book contradicts itself by not having enough information on the topic. My question to you is what information do you wish the material contained which you feel it lacked?

Instrument: Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN)
Article: Psychometric properties of the Social Phobia Inventory
Appropriateness for Dx: This tool is meant for
screening of individuals with social phobia and assignment of a severity score (Connor et al., 2000). The tool was created in congruence with DSM-4 but is consistent with the DSM-5 diagnosis of social anxiety disorder, minus some minor changes (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration [SAMHSA], 2016). Although the study is outdated, Duke University School of Medicine (2020) acknowledges that the tool is still relevant and utilized by their Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Program.
Response to Therapy/Treatment: The SPIN is appropriate for testing treatment response and through studies has proven sensitive to symptom changes over time. Changes in scores are able to determine treatment efficiency (Connor et al., 2000).
Psychometrics: The tool is self-administered and consists of 17 separate statements regarding problems a patient may exhibit if they have social phobia. The statement is then rated on how much it has bothered the individual in the last week, from ‘not at all’ (0) to.

Abstract Suicide is the second leading cause of death
among youth, and as many as one in five youth report
having had at least one serious thought of suicide in the
past year. Despite the enormous emotional pain and suf-
fering associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors, up
to 40 % of suicidal youth never receive treatment. Given
that social workers are employed in multiple settings where
suicidal children and adolescents are encountered (e.g.
schools, homeless shelters, emergency departments, out-
patient mental health agencies, private practice), they play
a critical role in the identification and treatment of suicidal
youth. In the past decade, evidence has emerged that
attachment-based family therapy, integrated cognitive
behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy can
reduce suicidal ideation and/or suicide attempt in youth.
The purpose of this article is to review the theoretical
assumptions, conceptual frameworks and key intervention
techniques for these three interventions so that clinicians
can integrate these approaches into their practice with
suicidal youth and families. Implications for practice are
integrated throughout the review.
Keywords Youth suicide � Empirically-supported
interventions � Attachment-based family therapy �
Integrated-cognitive behavioral therapy � Dialectical
behavior therapy
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth
ages 10–24 years, and 12 % of youth report having serious
thoughts of suicide in their lifetime (Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, 2014; Nock et al., 2013). Reducing
suicide deaths and improving quality of life has been the
focus of federal suicide prevention programs like the Garrett
Lee Smith Memorial Act, public–private partnerships like
the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, and
private initiatives like Zero Suicide. Key components of the
2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention include
training service providers in assessment and referral and the
delivery of high-quality mental health services (U.S.
D.H.H.S, 2012). Given that nearly half of all mental health
workers in the United States are social workers who work in
nearly every service sector (Bureau of Labor Statistics,
2016), social workers are essential in achieving the National
Strategy objectives by identifying and assessing suicide risk,
and providing high quality ongoing management and treat-
ment (Erbacher, Singer, & Poland, 2015).
Despite the development of several psychosocial inter-
ventions for suicidal youth, there is evidence that social
workers are not receiving the training and education nee-
ded to deliver these potentially life-saving interventions. A
2012 study ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Psychological literacy: What is it and how do we measure it?

Psychological literacy: What is it and
how do we measure it?
Prof Tony Machin
University of Southern Queensland
https://tinyurl.com/APA2018Machin
2. What is PsyLit?
According to Cranney and Dunn (2011), it is the
intentional application of psychological science to
meet personal, professional, and societal goals.
Further, “we strongly believe that psychological
literacy is THE most important literacy for the
Twenty-first Century, and that psychological
literacy should be the primary outcome of
undergraduate psychology education”.
4. Why is PsyLit important?
Hulme et al. (2015) describe a
model in which PsyLit is
relevant to all aspects of life,
from an understanding of
oneself through to being a
global citizen.
5. While PsyLit has attracted substantial scholarly
attention, a review of the different ways that
PsyLit is defined led Newstead (2015) to conclude
that there is no agreed definition, a conclusion that
is shared by Mair, Taylor and Hulme (2013).
It is therefore timely to review the different
definitions of PsyLit and how these have been
operationalised. That is, what is PsyLit and how is
PsyLit actually measured?
How is PsyLit defined?
6. Purpose: To describe empirical studies that have
been conducted focusing on psychological literacy,
and describe and evaluate current empirical
measurement practice regarding psychological
literacy. The aims therefore are:
To systematically review the empirical research in
relation to the concept of psychological literacy
To critically characterise, evaluate and compare
existing measures/assessments of psychological
literacy.
Initial aim
8. Boneau (1990) introduced the term “Psychological
literacy” focusing on the key terms and concepts
that constitute the core knowledge base in
psychology.
The importance of the concepts was assessed
according to a rating scale which ranked the terms
from 5 (…is able to make knowledgeable
statements about this term) through to 1 (…too
specialised for general knowledge even at the
doctoral level).
Early definitions of PsyLit
9. Even Boneau recognises that his rating scale was a
“strangely concocted dimension, but it seemed to
make sense to my respondents” (p. 892).
A similar approach was taken by Tomcho and Foels
(2017) to establish the core concepts in five areas
of applied psychology, including health psychology,
psychology of gender, I/O psychology, cross-
cultural psychology, and psychology and law. The
ratings scale was identical to Boneau (1990) and a
total of 500 concepts were rated. Of these, 311
(61%) were unique to the applied areas.
Some issues with this
approach
10. This conference in 2008 created a definition of
PsyLit that included nine separate qualities that all
psychology graduates should possess:
having a well-defined vocabulary and basic
knowledge of the critical subject matter of
psychology;
valuing the intellectual challenges required to use
scientific thinking and the disciplined analysis of
information to evaluate alternative courses of
action;
APA’s National Conference
on Undergraduate Education
11. taking a creative and amiable sceptical approach
to problem solving;
applying psychological principles to personal,
social, and organisational issues in work,
relationships, and the broader community;
acting ethically;
being competent in using and evaluating
information and technology;
This book introduces
the term
“Psychologically
literate citizen”.
12. communicating effectively in different modes and
with many different audiences;
recognising, understanding, and fostering respect
for diversity;
being insightful and reflective about one’s own and
others’ behavior and mental processes.
(McGovern, et al., 2010, p.11).
13. Lynne Roberts, Brody Heritage
and Natalie Gasson
Roberts, Heritage and Gasson (2015) identified
nine existing scales and included these multi-item
measures along with the nine single-item
measures from Chester et al. (2013) to determine
the underlying structure of PsyLit.
Reflective Processes (RP),
Generic Graduate Attributes (GGA), and
Psychology as a Helping Profession (PHP).
Recent research
14.
15. Heritage, Roberts and Gasson (2016) futher
examined the validity of their multi-item measure
of PsyLit using students enrolled in a range of
degree programs and at different levels in these
programs.
Their approach is to comprehensively assess the
nine dimensions of PsyLit using multiple measures.
Evidence for a three factor
structure?
16.
17. Their three factors weakly differentiated between
Psychology and Psychology-HRM students in their
first year, but not between Psychology and Speech
Pathology students.
At the second year level, the three PsyLit factors
weakly differentiated between Psychology and
Speech Pathology students, but not between
Psychology and Psychology-HRM students.
Finally, comparisons between the three levels
within Psychology (but not the other disciplines)
found that PsyLit differentiated the first year level
from the second year level, but not the third year
level.
Further evidence is required to support a three-
factor model of PsyLit.
18. Murdoch (2016)
Murdoch (2016) also questions whether PsyLit is
what makes psychology unique?
Most of the 9 attributes are not unique to
Psychology, rather reflect general graduate
attributes.
Murdoch proposes that PsyLit is a higher order
construct that incorporates a number of other
“literacies” making PsyLit a meta-literacy.
What next?
19. Murdoch (2016) illustrates that PsyLit is a product
of understanding the core psychological knowledge
of the discipline, combined with psychology-
specific knowledge and skill (perhaps specialised
sub-skills), and the ability to apply these
knowledges and skills in meaningful personal,
social and employment-related areas.
20. Murdoch (2016) concludes with seven
recommendations that are a foundation for the
further development of PsyLit, which “could and
should be the goal of a psychology undergraduate
education, but it does not need to be the goal” (p.
196).
Final words
21. Halpern and Butler (2011) suggest that scenarios
are an appropriate methodology to capture
students’ understanding of psychological
knowledge as well as their skill in applying this
knowledge.
Assessment of PsyLit needs
to move beyond the self-
report measures that have
been used thus far.
22. Roberts, Gasson, Breen,
Mancini, Chester & Heritage
(2018)
These authors just presented their latest research
at ICAP in Montreal.

Global Citizenship in Undergraduate Psychology
Students”

24. You notice that a newspaper report on the
adoption of recycling and other environmentally
sustainable behaviours concludes that the schemes
often cost quite a lot to implement and may not
really save taxpayers any money.
a) Explain the impact of recycling on the
individual, their neighbourhood and the society.
b) What psychological theory and/or concepts
might be relevant to your response.
Example
25. While Australia has one of the highest rates of
preventable skin cancers, many people fail to take
adequate preventative action to reduce their risk.

failure to use adequate sun protection.
b) What psychological theory and/or concepts
might be relevant to your response.

In conclusion, the definition and measurement of PsyLit is a
critical part of specifying what a PsyEd can provide. It would also
contribute to global psychological literacy citizenship (Cranney &
Dunn, 2011). The value of a psychology education is not just in
enabling graduates to find appropriate employment, but also in
facilitating solutions to global human problems.
