“…Our systematic map provides, to our knowledge, the first of the peer-reviewed social psychological literature published in leading multidisciplinary conservation journals. It follows a tradition of structured and systematic exercises to assess bodies of research literature in both conservation and psychology (e.g., Grichting 1989;Qin et al 2019). The resultant database constitutes a resource that can be used to critically assess the state of the field and serves as the basis for various other inquiries.…”

Conservation science and practice commonly draw on the theories and methods of social psychology to explain human cognition, emotion, and behavior germane to biodiversity conservation. We created a systematic map of the cross-disciplinary conservation science literature, which draws on social psychology concepts and methods in their application broadly described as conservation psychology. Established protocols were used to systematically collect and collate peer-reviewed research published in an explicit selection of multidisciplinary conservation journals. We sought to catalog the literature, elucidate trends and gaps, and critically reflect on the state of conservation psychology and its research practices that aim to influence conservation outcomes. The volume of publications per year and per decade increased from 1974 to 2016. Although a diversity of research designs and methods was applied, studies disproportionately focused on specific concepts (attitudes and beliefs), locations (North America and Europe), and contexts (terrestrial, rural). Studies also tended to be descriptive, quantitative, and atheoretical in nature. Our findings demonstrate that although conservation psychology has generally become more visible and prominent, it has done so within a limited space and suggest that disciplinary research principles and reporting standards must be more universally adopted by traditional and multidisciplinary conservation journals to raise the floor of empirical research.

“…Equity admits that there are equitable inequalities as it enjoins us to treat equals equally and unequals according to their relevant inequalities as I have argued elsewhere. 4 It is submitted that the above variables (educational attainment, age, seniority, employment and type of job) are relevant in tertiary education when it comes to the assessment of discrimination on the basis of gender.…”

“…He attributed the neglect to the "poor methodological standards of contemporary psychology" (p. 96). Zinchenko was not referring to shortcomings in the application of statistics, as documented, for example, by Grichting (1989), but rather to the mistaken but widespread dismissal of fundamental problems as philosophical rather than scientific.…”

This paper considers the question “What is a psychological unit?”. The ubiquity of units in daily life and in science is considered. The assumption that the individual human being or animal is the psychological unit is examined and rejected. The units represented by the data collected in operant laboratories are interpreted as a subset of the well-defined changes that individual human beings or animals can bring about. The departure of this interpretation from the traditional interpretation in terms of the behaviour of the organism is acknowledged. The paper concludes by noting the relation of the present interpretation of operant research to the problem of identifying psychological units.
