Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Evidence-based practice (EBP) in psychology faces challenges including waste, inertia, invalidity, simplisticity, and opacity.
  • Current publication practices for intervention studies in psychology are problematic and linked to EBP issues.
  • The complexity of psychological interventions, stemming from numerous behavior change domains and combinations, complicates research and reporting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose new heuristics for intervention research and reporting in psychology.
  • To address the identified problems within evidence-based practice and intervention study publications.
  • To introduce a taxonomy for the reporting of intervention studies in psychology.

Main Methods:

  • Definition of eleven domains of behavior change to encompass a wide range of psychological interventions.
  • Development of a taxonomy to structure and improve the reporting of intervention studies.
  • Analysis of the connection between evidence-based practice issues and intervention reporting.

Main Results:

  • Identification of unsustainable levels of Waste, Inertia, Invalidity, Simplisticity, and Opacity associated with EBP.
  • Encompassment of millions of potential intervention combinations within the eleven defined behavior change domains.
  • Description of a taxonomy designed for the complex operation of reporting intervention studies in psychology.

Conclusions:

  • New heuristics are essential for advancing intervention research and reporting in psychology.
  • Addressing EBP limitations requires improved methodologies for intervention study publications.
  • The proposed taxonomy offers a framework for clearer and more effective reporting of psychological interventions.
