“…Observing nonverbal behaviour is a promising way to assess empowerment (Malik & Lindahl, ). We developed the coding system with native speakers to take the cultural specificity of women's empowerment into account (see Hopkins, ). Although we only found first, nonsignificant, signs of women's relational empowerment, we nonetheless hope to inspire future research to consider using observational data.…”

Offering women access to microcredit and business training is a prominent approach to stimulate women's empowerment. Whereas men seem to profit from business training, women do not. We adjusted a goal‐setting training session on the basis of women's needs in collaboration with a women organization in Sri Lanka. We invited female microfinance borrowers and their husbands to the training as both parties should be involved to change existing gender roles with respect to their income‐generating activity. We investigated the impact of the training on goal‐setting skills, self‐esteem, and the couples' interaction in a subsequent task. In two field experiments, female borrowers and their husbands (nstudy1 = 68; nstudy2 = 76) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (a) goal‐setting training and setting goals as couple, (b) goal‐setting training and setting goals individually, or (c) no training (control condition). Participation in the training increased women's SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time bound) goal‐setting skills. We coded couples' interactions in a subsequent decision‐making task to assess signs of women's empowerment. Descriptively, we found some initial evidence of increased women's empowerment in the interaction (Study 2). We critically discuss results and how gendered power imbalances may need to be addressed to stimulate social change towards gender equity.

“…One example is a "target" article that I recently published in the Indian journal, Psychological Studies in which I argued that the ancient wisdom of India and China should not be viewed as "psychology" but should be understood in its historical context(Brock, 2015b). All the psychologists who commented on the article were vehemently opposed to this view(Hopkins, 2015;Paranjpe, 2015;Valsiner & Brinkmann, 2015).3 Personal communication of February 28, 2016.…”

The future of the history of psychology revisited.

History of Psychology

In 1994, Kurt Danziger published an article in Theory & Psychology with the title, "Does the history of psychology have a future?" The article attracted a great deal of controversy and is now listed on the journal's website as one of the most cited articles in its history. After providing a synopsis of Danziger's article, I discuss some of the issues that emerged from the controversy that followed its publication. I also ask whether the position of the history of psychology has changed in the intervening years. We are already in the future that Danziger discussed, even if it is only the near future, and the situation may look different from here. After pointing out that Danziger himself has changed his views on this subject, I suggest that it does look different. The editorial ends with an introduction to the articles in the special issue and some reflections on the importance of understanding the context in which historians of psychology work.
