This volume argues for the development of a macro perspective
within psychology that more effectively incorporates social
structures, systems, policies, and institutions. The book
emphasizes how social structures and systems can ultimately
promote, or erode, psychological wellbeing. Macropsychology is
concerned with "understanding up," or how we can influence the
settings and conditions of the society in which we live. Psychology
has traditionally been more interested in "understanding down,"
that is, with the behaviour of individuals and groups; in
inter-psychic and intra-psychic and in neurological and biological
processes. This volume argues that psychology can more effectively
contribute at the macro or societa level, by addressing grand
challenges and global goals, using big data, and intervening at the
population level.Bringing together social, organizational,
cultural, and health psychology research, the book demonstrates a
broad range of areas benefitting from a macropsychology
perspective, particularly areas integral to the realization of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Contributors address the
value of macropsychological perspectives in addressing sub-topics
such as: Mental health Personality traits and social structure
Disability rights Food systems Humanitarian work psychology
Macropsychology: A Population Science for Sustainable Development
Goals aims to recognise and give impetus to a neglected perspective
within psychology, and to inspire a paradigm-widening within the
field of psychology, facilitating greater involvement with social
justice and human rights.
