Scholarship in psychology - The advantages of art expanded vision

The authors comment positively on "Scholarship in Psychology: A Paradigm fo r the Twenty-First Century" (D. F. Halpern et al., 1998) and further expand that vision of scholarship. Giving high priority to social responsibility, they criticize overly narrow scholarship, including its effects on the dis cipline, and examine the economics of scholarship and the criteria for eval uation. Emphasis on applied research and the integration of knowledge is en couraged, along with the application of psychology and the scholarship of p edagogy and teaching. A broader, flexible, more grounded vision of scholars hip and a modification of the culture of academic psychology is required.
