Psychology and Sociology both deal with a huge range of concepts and methodologies. Information from other disciplines is integrated into Psychology and Sociology, and vice versa. This reciprocal intellectual relationship must be enhanced so that the social and behavioral sciences can assist in solving the many present and future local and international problems. Such a highly demanding integration among disciplines can be systemised using an invaluable research tool - the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential.

Experienced Difficulty

People struggle to stay motivated to work toward difficult goals. Sometimes the feeling of difficulty signals that the goal is important and worth pursuing; other times, it signals that the goal is impossible and should be abandoned. In this paper, we argue that how difficulty is experienced depends on how we perceive and experience the timing of difficult events. We synthesize research from across the social and behavioral sciences and propose a new integrated model to explain how components of time perception interact with interpretations of experienced difficulty to influence motivation and goal-directed behavior. Although these constructs have been studied separately in previous research, we suggest that these factors are inseparable and that an integrated model will help us to better understand motivation and predict behavior. We conclude with new empirical questions to guide future research and by discussing the implications of this research for both theory and intervention practice.
