Rather than trying to improve the objective quality of situations, they say, it focuses on the intersection between psychological interpretations and the contexts in which they arise. In sections on education, health and well-being, conflict and relationships, and sustainability, they consider such topics as the social-belonging intervention, difference-education: improving disadvantaged students' academic outcomes by changing their theory of difference, taste-focused-labeling intervention: emphasizing the tasty and enjoyable attributes of healthy foods, the incremental theory of personality intervention, and the social norms approach: a wise intervention for solving social and environmental problems.
