I think that many policy makers have a healthy respect for science, though perhaps less so for behavioral issues than for such topics as global warming. And, as we know, some policymakers dismiss scientific evidence altogether. Behavioral research is getting more attention, in part due to popular writes such as Malcolm Gladwell and David Brooks. Social psychologists should not be shy about publicizing their findings as well.
Q: What can social psychologists do to improve the reliance of policymakers on tested approaches to policy?
More and more social psychologists are conducting research outside of the laboratory, showing how theory-based interventions can have important behavioral outcomes. But I think our field has matured to the point where we can be taking our findings out of the lab more than we have in the past.
The more we do so, the more policy makers will pay attention.
