Testing theory in field and experimental studies requires a clear understanding of theory and of the development and design of measures, as well as procedures and statistics. Often otherwise strong studies are limited by a procedural omission or a theoretical omission. Health psychology in particular is seeing the development of new models and increasing use of implicit approaches, including habit. The tension between laboratory control and the need to study real people in real environments can lead to compromise in theory testing. The purpose of this workshop is to have an open discussion of some of these difficulties as people have encountered them, and to work actively on a few constructive examples to illustrate some solutions. People signing up for the workshop should come with problems they are currently working on and are willing to share. Participants are strongly encouraged to email Sheina Orbell in advance of the meeting with their suggestions as to what they would like me to cover, so that the workshop can be tailored to their needs.

Ingrid Covington Ingrid Covington will discuss collaboration in complex, multinational organizations based on her culture change management work with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and address the implications for both the psychology and security fields of endeavour.
