Specialists in various areas of psychology step back from their immediate work to look at recent developments and current trends in the specialty. Among this year's topics are a taxonomy of
external and internal attention, peer contagion in child and adolescent social and emotional development, delusional belief, whether conscious thoughts cause behavior, heuristic decision
making, psychological perspectives on pathways linking socioeconomic status and physical health, and disaggregating within-person and between-person effects in longitudinal models of change.
