Psychologists are spending a considerable amount of time researching and developing interventions in hopes that their efforts can help to tackle some of society's pressing problems. Unfortunately, those hopes are often not realized-many interventions are developed and reported in journals but do not make their way into the broader world they were designed to change. One potential reason for this is that there may be a gap between the information reported in articles and the information others, such as practitioners, need to implement the findings. We explored this possibility in the current article. We conducted a scoping review to assess the extent to which the information needed for implementation is reported in psychological intervention articles. Results suggest psychological intervention articles report, at most, 64% of the information needed to implement interventions. We discuss the implications of this for both psychological theories and applying them in the world.
心理学家们花费了大量时间进行研究和开发干预措施，希望他们的努力能够帮助解决一些社会面临的紧迫问题。不幸的是，这些希望往往无法实现——许多干预措施在期刊上被开发和报道，但却未能进入它们旨在改变的更广阔世界。造成这种情况的一个潜在原因可能是，文章中报道的信息与其他人员（如从业者）实施研究结果所需的信息之间存在差距。我们在当前这篇文章中探讨了这种可能性。我们进行了一项范围综述，以评估心理干预文章中报告的实施所需信息的程度。结果表明，心理干预文章最多报告了实施干预措施所需信息的64%。我们讨论了这对心理学理论及其在现实世界中的应用的影响。
