Intervention Science
Intervention Science: Harnessing Psychology to Address Real-World Social Problems
Overview
The Intervention Science preconference brings together researchers interested in turning psychology outward to understand and address pressing societal issues. In 2024, we will showcase intervention research using diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to tackle social problems. Our preconference will involve discussions on how to develop rigorous interventions with research that bridges the gap between basic and applied perspectives, as well as how to translate such research into scalable interventions that have real-world impact. We also invite abstract submissions to present in our poster session (open to all attendees) and/or to give an early career data blitz (open to graduate students and recent PhDs).
Confirmed speakers include Carol Dweck, Markus Brauer, Jason Okonofua, Ivuoma Onyeador, Rebecca Littman, Sherry Wu, and Patricia Andrews Fearon. We also plan to feature a panel discussion on the critical topic of testing theory in intervention science.
The preconference will run from 8 AM - 5 PM. A detailed draft schedule will be posted soon. Times and activities are subject to change.
