ppsych-organizing-framework

separate

Use when imposing an analytical or conceptual structure on a body of psychology research for a Perspectives on Psychological Science (PoPS) integrative review or theoretical statement — the unifying argument or "spine" that turns a reading list into a claim about the field. Designs the framework; it does not gather the literature (ppsych-literature-synthesis) or audit balance (ppsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance).

When to use

• imposing an analytical or conceptual structure on psychology research
• designing the unifying argument or spine for a PoPS integrative review
• designing the framework for a PoPS theoretical statement
• turning a reading list into a claim about the field
• choosing a primary spine type such as taxonomy or unifying theory
• stress-testing the framework with hard-case papers

When not to use

• gathering the literature
• auditing balance
• ppsych-literature-synthesis
• ppsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance
