Description: Human experience covers a lot of ground, with everything from moment-to-moment thoughts and feelings to intimate relations, intergroup relations, and social change qualifying as fair game for theory and research. The diverse topical landscape of psychology is undeniable, but it has promoted theoretical fragmentation, with principles narrowly defined for localized phenomena, and a vast array of disconnected tools and methods to validate these principles, leading many to conclude that psychology is a pre-paradigmatic discipline. Recent years, however, have witnessed the adaptation of principles and methods of nonlinear dynamical systems and complexity science to psychological phenomena. This perspective is showing promise as an integrative paradigm, as it not only highlights a small set of principles for integrating virtually every topic in the field, but it also provides methods and computational tools for investigating the manifestation of these basic principles across intrapersonal, interpersonal, and collective phenomena. The keynote address will provide a brief overview of the dynamical perspective, describing of what has been accomplished thus far and outlining what remains to be done in order for it to secure its status as an integrative paradigm for the diversity of human experience.
