Beyond the individual : ecological factors in social-psychological interventions
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation explores the ecological factors that limit and enhance the potential of social-psychological interventions to foster healthy human development. First, I explore values and publication pressures at the exosystem level that determine what kinds of findings are published in psychology research journals. Next, I explore heuristic biases at the exosystem level that prevent important findings from being implemented after they are published. Finally, I explore how individual changes triggered by a psychological intervention at the microsystem level can change group dynamics in ways that spur new benefits for all group members, even those not affected by the initial intervention. Understanding psychological interventions from this ecological perspective can broaden our understanding of how these interventions might be used to benefit the greatest number of people.
