These movements strive for holistic healing that is deeply rooted in diverse local practices and wisdom. This introductory article positions Indigenous Psychology movements within the broader discourse on decolonial and liberation psychologies, highlighting their significance in the Chinese and Filipino cultural contexts. We briefly describe the history of these movements and explore various Indigenous healing approaches, from \"indigenizing from without\" to \"indigenizing from within,\" a conceptual framework developed by Filipino psychologist Virgilio Enriquez in 1994. While recognizing the decolonial and liberatory potential of these movements, we also confront their challenges and limitations, such as the limited scope of representation of indigeneity and insufficient focus on historical trauma and colonial mentality. We advocate for a developmental approach to understand the evolution of Indigenous Psychology movements, culminating in a stage of \"reclamation.\" The article concludes by delineating practical implications for incorporating these Indigenous perspectives into broader psychological practices.

In this article, we consider examples of Indigenous healing from Canada, China, Singapore, and the United States, to address a central question: What can we learn from these unique Indigenous healing traditions to inform mental health practices globally? Comparison shows that all these practices involve communal healing rituals grounded in spiritual, religious, and cultural knowledge systems related to embodied ways of knowing and that are embedded in social-ecological systems, including kinship, ancestral ties, and filial connections to the cosmology. To support further development of decolonial practice, it is crucial to attend to the complex interactions of cultural identity and sociocultural (relational, communal, political, and spiritual) factors underlying healing traditions in Indigenous communities.

We examined 19,012 publications across 95 APA and APS journals across four time points (2005, 2012, 2019, and 2022). The percentage of qualitative articles was determined using the methodology field value within APA PsycInfo, a process that we validated through a batch test. We also conducted a content analysis of journal mission statements and submission guidelines, and we made comparisons in light of journal impact factors. Our findings show a nearly threefold increase in qualitative publications accelerating over time from 2005 to 2022, albeit with wide variations depending on the type of journal. Qualitative-friendly journals were more likely to be published by APA, be specialty journals, be dedicated to diverse populations, and have lower impact factors. Conversely, qualitative research was less likely to be published in APS journals, core psychology journals, journals focused on general populations, and journals with higher impact factors (with some notable exceptions). We discuss these findings in terms of implications for the advancement of psychological science, including the discipline's need for development in qualitative training and expertise, its commitments to antiracism and anticolonialism, its fragmentation, and its equity in publishing.

Zimbardo (1933-2024).","authors":"Rose McDermott","doi":"10.1037/amp0001549","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/amp0001549","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>This article memorializes Philip G. Zimbardo (1933-2024). Voted \"most popular\" in his high school graduating class, Zimbardo went on to Brooklyn College, where he triple-majored in sociology, anthropology, and psychology, graduating in 1954. He then attended graduate school at Yale University, studying under Neal Miller and Carl Hovland, and completing his PhD in 1959. He began his career at New York University, where he taught from 1960 to 1967, often teaching 10 courses a year. In 1967, he taught for a year at Columbia, where his future colleague, Lee Ross, was among his students. He moved to Stanford in 1968 and remained on the faculty there for over 50 years. Zimbardo's research covered a myriad of topics, from early work on attitude change, dissonance, and deindividuation, to foundational work on shyness, discontinuity, and time perspective, to his last 2 decades of work on heroism. Google Scholar currently records over 72,000 citations to his work; the highest citations go to his research on time perspective and to his award-winning book, <i>The Lucifer Effect</i> (2007). His longtime interest in good and evil, and what leads people to act in either antisocial or prosocial ways, was first addressed in his research on deindividuation and situational factors like anonymity and social roles of differential power. This led to the Stanford Prison Experiment, a simulation study in which participants were randomly assigned to play the roles of either guards or prisoners over several days. Although perhaps best known for that study, it was not the work Zimbardo was most proud of, arguing in one interview that his more important research was his work on shyness and the establishment of the Stanford Shyness Clinic. Later work on time perspective, in which people experience different temporal orientations to past, present, and future, included the development of an individual difference measure, the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory, which has been translated widely for international use. More recently, Zimbardo shifted his focus from evil to good, both in terms of research on heroic behaviors and on the application of psychological principles to promote widespread actions of everyday kindness and heroism. He established a nonprofit organization, the Heroic Imagination Project, which then established Heroic Imagination Project centers in other countries. Philip Zimbardo was a warm, welcoming, and witty psychologist and a profound student of human nature. He wanted nothing more than to share his understanding and love of psychology with others to help improve individual lives as well as the wider world.

Whereas researchers focus mostly on between-person questions, clinicians are at least-and in some cases more-interested in within-person questions. This could pose a challenge for science-practice integration as the clinical community may feel as though the research evidence being produced is not as relevant as it could be, and the scientific community in turn might feel as though practice in the clinical community is not sufficiently evidence based.

Those benefits accrue from a resonance between how they approach questions and the questions they ask. For example, both rely on experiments to explore how individual interactions generate collective phenomena. The article compares micromechanism-driven and macropattern-driven ABM paradigms and introduces a new research approach-the minimal society paradigm-and a modeling strategy, principle-oriented modeling. This framework integrates ABM into psychological research, supporting both theory building through minimal societies and adaptation to specific contexts.

This review seeks to advance the understanding of adverse psychosocial outcomes of AI while acknowledging its benefits. Specifically, does AI employment pose unfavorable consequences such as the denial of its users' humanity in certain situations? Based on the theoretical distinction between meta-, self-, and other-dehumanization, we synthesize existing research on the dehumanization risks associated with AI use. We first separate AI use-induced dehumanization into three levels: human-AI interaction, intrapersonal dynamics, and interpersonal relationships. We also identify potential consequences of dehumanization by relating it to users' attitudes toward AI, their self-regard, and their social relationships. Moreover, we illustrate AI-, user-, and community-related interventions toward mitigating the dehumanization risks of AI use. Finally, we outline directions for future research in this area.
