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.

心理学家正在花费大量时间研究和开发干预措施，希望他们的努力可以帮助解决一些社会紧迫的问题。不幸的是，这些希望往往没有实现——许多干预措施是在期刊上开发和报道的，但并没有进入它们旨在改变的更广阔的世界。造成这种情况的一个潜在原因是，文章中报告的信息与其他人（例如从业者）实施调查结果所需的信息之间可能存在差距。我们在当前文章中探讨了这种可能性。我们进行了范围审查，以评估心理干预文章中报告实施所需信息的程度。结果表明，心理干预文章最多报道，64% 的信息需要实施干预措施。我们讨论了这对心理学理论及其在世界上的应用的影响。
