Applied Psychology

Critical, real-world psychology content that's not captured in books or journals

undefined

Hundreds of thousands of items include surveys, proceedings, tools, videos, personal narratives, blogs, podcasts, case studies, PDFs, audio files, videos, and more.

You won’t find these real-world materials in books or journals. They’re created by practicing psychologists and therapists, research and support groups, advocacy and professional organizations, hospitals, businesses, think tanks, and governments—all over the world.

At a glance

162,000+

items at launch, in multiple formats and across disciplines, and the database will grow continually

500+

organizations covered so far, in 20+ countries around the world

Global coverage, interdisciplinary application

Dozens of countries are covered, including areas in the Global South. Researchers can examine topics as diverse as trauma-informed care, crowd psychology, workplace stress, culturally competent therapy, group dynamics, and jury decision-making.

Besides the obvious relevance to studies in psychology and mental health, the database also serves faculty and students in neuroscience, law, teaching, health and safety, business, and engineering—making it easy to integrate psychology with law, education, business, sociology, and other fields.

A living collection—continually updated for currency and preserved for future researchers

All the materials listed in the database—including PDFs, audio, video, and text—are curated for use in teaching, research, and policy. We continually grow the project with the latest updates, keeping it current with fresh output from sources around the world. Every listing links back to the original source, driving usage of the originating website.

You can cite the content with confidence, because we assign a stable, persistent identifier to every item. And we preserve backup copies (with permission)—so if an item disappears or a website is down, you’ll access our copy. That means no more dead links.
