Preface

The chapters in this book are based on invited presentations delivered at the 29th International Congress of Applied Psychology (ICAP). The chapters were selected by a two-stage process. In the first stage, all divisions of the International Association of Applied Psychology (IAAP) and all sections of the Canadian Psychological Association, were encouraged to nominate researchers and practitioners to present either a Congress-invited keynote address or a Congress-invited state-of-the-art lecture. In the second stage, as co-presidents of the 29th ICAP, we asked a subset of the invited speakers to convert their Congress presentation into a chapter that captures the state of the art in the topic domain. Our goal for this book was not to supplant the comprehensive IAAP Handbook of Applied Psychology, published by Wiley in 2011. Instead, our aim was to focus on the state of the art in a subset of domains that have changed most profoundly in the intervening years. With this in mind, we selected a small set of invited presentations and encouraged the authors to write chapters on the state of their art, focused on recent insights and breakthroughs, while also highlighting problems that remain to be addressed.

The 29th ICAP, which occurred in Montreal, Canada, from June 26-30, 2018, was a success. In the course of the event, about 3,000 registered participants from approximately 100 countries from all regions of the world delivered about 3,500 spoken presentations and posters. We call it a success because scientists and practitioners gathered to connect with and learn from each other. The chapters in this book are stronger because of learning facilitated by the 29th ICAP.

Psychology is a discipline that covers a wide variety of activities, and these are sometimes grouped into basic research and applied research. Basic and applied research are the same in at least two ways: Both use the scientific method for solving problems, and both are concerned with behavior, affect, and cognition. The difference between them comes from the purpose for which research is undertaken. For basic research, the purpose is hypothesis testing, generating, and accumulating knowledge, and advancing theoretical understanding of behavior, affect, and cognition. By contrast, the purpose of applied research is to understand and solve real-world conundrums about behavior, affect, and cognition, whether experienced by individuals, groups, or societies. In his basic research on the link between affect and cognition, Peter might test the hypothesis that mere exposure to a stimulus is sufficient to reduce its power to elicit an intense emotional response. However, in his applied research on treatments for a disorder related to affect and cognition, David might investigate a hypothesis about the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy to modify schema structures or test the cognitive mechanisms of change in a preventative intervention. As highlighted by these illustrations, by virtue of their different purposes, basic and applied research complement each other, and each contributes a unique and valuable perspective on problems, findings, and insights about behavior, affect and cognition.

The theme of the 29th ICAP, Psychology: Connecting Science to Solutions, was chosen to focus attention on what applied psychology is all about-using the methods of science to solve real-world problems. We also hoped this theme would inspire more and deeper reflection on the everyday context of those aspects of behavior, affect, and cognition, which are pertinent and perhaps critical to the questions being addressed by basic research.

The Congress theme also was meant as a call to action, an exhortation to strengthen the relationship between science and practice. We believe such a call to action is warranted for many reasons, especially these. First, the continued widespread use of practices and interventions supported only by historical habit, sometimes intuition and willing (nondemanding) clients. The lecture class format of many university courses comes immediately to mind as one such largely unexamined practice. The second is the ubiquitous availability of fake practices and interventions, modern-day pseudo-scientific quackeries pushed on social media and the internet. By increasing awareness of the value of science-based solutions, the Congress theme also was intended as an indirect effort to counteract the potential harmful effects brought about by pseudo-science.

The chapters in this book reveal applied psychology as a fascinating, thriving, and broadly diverse discipline. We believe this status quo comes, in part, from us all being members of the same family. Scientists and practitioners have the same basic education in psychology; both are steeped in the scientific method, and we use the same basic concepts for describing and understanding aspects of behavior, affect, and cognition. By virtue of their commonalities, science and practice energize each other. And because psychology is relevant to every aspect of behavior, affect, and cognition, an applied psychology committed to Connecting Science to Solutions is a sure-fire strategy for developing effective solutions for individuals-whether healthy or ill, young or old, male or female, and for society or societies-whether industrialized or emerging, rich or poor, etc.

We selected the abstract art on the cover, called Energy Trails, to represent the vibrancy, and the rich and fluid interactions within applied psychology, wherever they link us in our interconnected world.

The book has 20 chapters, arranged into five broad thematic groups. The first group of chapters is on Optimal Health and Functioning at Work and Home. Dr. Kevin Kelloway (Chapter 1) examines psychological well-being and mental health issues in the workplace, highlights the limitations of this research, stresses the need for an evidence-based approach, and contends that changing organizational conditions, such as leadership, can improve employee well-being. Dr. John P. Meyer (Chapter 2) discusses the construct of workplace commitment, reviews the empirical evidence for why commitment is so important to organizations and employees, and highlights some of the important methodological advances that have taken place in this important research area. Dr. Jennifer Veitch (Chapter 3) focuses on how psychologists can contribute to individual well-being, organizational productivity, and choosing sustainable technologies that will save the planet through better buildings. Finally, Dr. Thomas Dietz (Chapter 4) discusses major challenges for the future of environmental psychology.

The second chapter group is on Mental and Physical Health. Dr. Robert Vallerand (Chapter 5) addresses the role of harmonious passion in optimal functioning, including psychological well-being, physical health, positive relationships, individual performance, and contributing to one's community or society at large. Dr. Aleksandra Luszczynska (Chapter 6) focuses on health psychology and health promotion and proposes that the synergistic use of models, frameworks or taxonomies for evaluation, mechanisms, and implementation may provide better insight into the mechanisms by which interventions and policies work. Dr. Moshe Szyf (Chapter 7) highlights the mechanisms through which exposures and experiences modulate or even override genetic predisposition through DNA methylation. This chapter also demonstrates how mapping DNA methylation has implications for understanding, diagnosing, preventing and intervening in mental health disorders. Dr. Noa Vilchinsky (Chapter 8) discusses cardiac-disease-induced-post-traumatic stress disorder as a valid diagnostic entity. By highlighting meta-analytic and narrative systematic reviews, Drs. Jesús Sanz and Maria Paz Garcia-Vera (Chapter 9) describe the current state of the empirical literature on the psychopathological consequences of terrorist attacks. And finally, Dr. Rolando Diaz-Loving and his colleagues (Chapter 10) review the literature on forgiveness and unforgiveness as two extremes of a continuum.

The third section of this book addresses Issues in Education. Dr. Shelley Hymel (Chapter 11) highlights what we have learned in five decades of research on school bullying. She argues that research and practice in bullying might benefit from considering the larger context of promoting students' overall social and emotional development. Dr. Heikki Lyytinen and colleagues (Chapter 12) discuss strategies to enhance the early identification and prevention of early reading problems. Drs. Jacquelyn Cranney and Sue Morris (Chapter 13) address the need to rethink undergraduate education in psychology and contend that psychological literacy needs to be at the heart of the underlying pedagogical philosophy (i.e., both for educators and for students).

The fourth section of this volume is What's Trending in Research? Drs. Fanny Cheung and Yuen Wan Ho (Chapter 14) address the issue of assessing personality across cultures, the importance of demonstrating equivalence between original and the translated tests, and the need for a combined emic-etic approach to assessment. Dr. R. C. Tripathi (Chapter 15) contends that many studies on intergroup conflicts neglect to focus on essentialist beliefs that feed perceived differences between the self and the other groups and...
