Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Review of General Psychology
The Next Big Ideas in Psychology
Background
In psychology as in every scientific field, the course of the field is influenced by big ideas, the ideas that creatively conceptualize some essential aspect of psychological functioning and consequently inspire thousands of studies over years, even decades, to come. We can all think of big ideas in the history of psychology that provoked tremendous excitement and generated abundant research for many years. But what about now? What are the Big Ideas currently germinating in psychology that have the potential to become highly influential in the next decade? This proposed special issue is devoted to this question.
Important Dates:
● August 30, 2024: 500-word Letter of Intent due
● September 18, 2024: Invitations to submit a full-length manuscript sent
● November 29, 2024: Deadline for manuscript submissions
Aims of the Special Issue
This special issue aims to identify and highlight the ideas currently germinating in psychology that have the potential to become big ideas that make a lasting contribution to the field, generating important new research for many years. The papers may pertain to any domain or subdiscipline of psychology. We encourage fruitful integrations across subdisciplines of psychology and between psychology and related fields. All contributors should be attentive to issues of diversity in their papers, i.e., variations by ethnicity, gender, social class, and culture. Where appropriate, papers should also include policy implications and recommendations.
