This article discusses the potential dilution and misinterpretation of concepts in organizational psychology, specifically focusing on job burnout, psychological safety, and the Job Demands-Resources Model. The author argues that these concepts are often oversimplified and used as "diagnosis tools" or quick fixes, rather than being explored and understood in their complexity. The article highlights the need for researchers to acknowledge the limitations and uncertainties of these concepts and to communicate them effectively to avoid misleading the wider community. The author also emphasizes the importance of maintaining scholarly rigor and avoiding the pressure to prioritize quantity over meaningful research. [Extracted from the article]

Moritz Lazarus, the first professor for psychology, is known for his Völkerpsychologie (psychology of peoples). However, his archive at the National Library of Israel contains surprisingly many texts on individual psychology, a part of his oeuvre which is still mostly unknown. In this study, digital analysis methods (image embedding and topic modeling) are used to gain a first insight into his archive and his psychology. The findings show Lazarus in a different light: A psychologist aware of the research of his time who is nevertheless rooted in social and cultural psychology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the psychology behind public support for war and the need to understand this phenomenon in order to prevent future conflicts. The author, Jim Orford, who is a psychologist, explores his personal interest in war and how people seem to embrace and support it. He examines various factors that contribute to war support, such as military-style games, propaganda, and the role of war memorials. Orford also discusses the influence of gender, cognitive bias, and religion on war support. He concludes by calling for a more critical and anti-war psychology within the field.

The article discusses the potential psychological benefits of introducing chess into prisons. The authors argue that chess should be seen as a meaningful social activity rather than just a cognitive exercise. While there are no direct studies on the effects of chess in prisons, research on other forms of chess instruction suggests caution. However, prison chess clubs have been found to reduce violence, develop communication skills, and promote positive use of leisure time. Chess can also help prisoners shift their sense of self and build pro-social bonds, which are important steps in desistance from criminal behavior. The authors emphasize the need to recognize the social and cultural aspects of chess and to view human chess players as more than just cognitive thinkers. [Extracted from the article]

The conference began with two talks on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - Professor of Mental Health Thanos Karatzias (Edinburgh Napier University) was first, with an exploration of what we know about complex PTSD (CPTSD). Lee said that complex PTSD was a helpful new diagnosis and its three symptom clusters which are distinct from PTSD all have shame in common. Last year Clinical Psychologists Dr Hannah Murray (Oxford Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma; OxCADAT) and Dr Sharif El-Leithy released their book Working with Complexity in PTSD: A Cognitive Therapy Approach.

Zan Boag: In your book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, you proposed the idea that we all possess different types of intelligences, that the majority of us have a range of these abilities or intelligences to some degree. And that could be artistic intelligence, it could be kinaesthetic intelligence, it could be logical… If you want to develop the specific intelligence, you clearly ought to work on that particular intelligence. Just on ChatGPT, do you think perhaps because this type of artificial intelligence is able to do certain functions as well or better than we might do them, do you think that might mean that other types of intelligences may rise in prominence because they're things that cannot be done by artificial intelligence? To begin with we've talked about pluralisation of intelligence, but when you talk about ethics, morality, good work, good citizenship, these are not things that correlate with intellect.

There are likely to be many actors and organisations already working on the issues you care about, ranging from civic organisations at the local level, to policy organisations on the national stage, or non-governmental organisations working internationally. Psychologists for society and societies for psychologists: SPSSI's place among professional organizations. Growing numbers of academic psychologists now actively maintain a dual commitment to psychological science and its relevance outside of academia, at the same time as we witness greater value being granted to impactful research within the mainstream of our field. Since its early beginnings, the field of psychology has stressed the value of using academic research to address pressing social issues and contribute to the public good, and it enjoys a long and rich legacy in working toward these goals.

A recent study conducted by researchers at University Lumiere Lyon 2 in France examined the influence and dissemination of the work of British psychologist F. C. Bartlett. The researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of scientific articles that explicitly referenced Bartlett's work. The study found that while Bartlett's name is increasingly cited, it is often only mentioned once in the body of the articles, indicating a form of scientific automatism. The researchers suggest that this phenomenon may extend to other authors as well. The study was published in the journal History of Psychology and has been peer-reviewed.

A recent article from Purdue University explores the history of psychology and its development as a natural science. The article discusses the split between psychology and philosophy, with psychology initially championed as a distinct science that relied on controlled experiments. However, an alternative approach emerged that focused on qualitative descriptions based on subjective experiences. The research concludes that a mechanistic worldview, as seen in the history of psychology, has appropriate goals for the continued development of psychology as a natural science. This research has been peer-reviewed and is available for further exploration. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers at the City University of New York (CUNY) have published a report on the influence of Russian psychologist Sergei Chakhotin on the propaganda of the Iron Front, an antifascist organization that resisted the rise of the Nazis in the Weimar Republic. Chakhotin's ideas, which drew from Ivan Pavlov's conditioned reflex and Frederick Taylor's scientific management theory, played a crucial role in transforming socialist propaganda to combat fascism. The research highlights how Chakhotin provided a scientific lens for the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) to understand the mass appeal of the Nazis and adapt their party tactics accordingly. The study has been peer-reviewed and can be accessed through the Central European History journal. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses a study conducted by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic on the development of psychology in Czechoslovakia during the period of 'normalization' (1968-1989) under the communist regime. The study reveals that the regime's control over all aspects of human activity, including psychology, negatively impacted its development. The study identifies three groups of psychologists: those who aligned with the regime, those who actively opposed it and faced limitations, and a larger group that passively complied with the regime's restrictions. The research sheds light on the challenges faced by psychologists during this historical period and provides insights into education, research, Western influences, and adaptation to the communist regime.

The study analyzed the experiment's methodology, including blinding, randomization, noise control, and data recording technology. The findings highlight the relevance of the history of psychology for contemporary philosophy of science and theories of measurement. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the journal Nuncius. [Extracted from the article]

The article speculates the end of personality assessments in the employee hiring process given the rise of machine learning tools and other technology advancements. It suggests a predictive model of personality as an alternative to an analysis of personality traits. It refers to the observation of an individual and building a mental model that predicts a person's behavior as the approach to creating a machine-learning model.

This summer I spent time with psychologists in Russia, and it was clear that the strong history of physical sciences, and the legacy of one of the most famous early psychologists Ivan Pavlov (who of course was a physiologist rather than a psychologist) continues to shape the way psychology is thought about. Some of these beliefs may seem quite alien to psychology as it is conceptualised in the West, but as Suntosh Pillay asked in the South African Journal of Psychology in 2017, 'Why is Western psychology innocently labelled "psychology" but African psychology geographically located? Finally, Tom proposes that what defines psychologists is the ability to combine multiple, sometimes contradictory, characteristics and that even this combination of characteristics varies widely between psychologists such that a search for a common "psychologist's code" is not meaningful.

A recent study conducted by investigators from Stanford University explores the historical context and diagnostic process of the Alberta Eugenics Board, which recommended the sterilization of 4,739 individuals from 1929 to 1972. The researchers challenge the assumption that intelligence tests played a critical role in the diagnostic process, arguing that the concept of "mental defectives" existed before the advent of intelligence testing. The Board relied on a broader examination of behavior, social status, and physical appearance as evidence for diagnosis. The study suggests that further research should incorporate the concept of mentality in the history of psychology, testing, and eugenics. [Extracted from the article]
