Psychological science offers frameworks for understanding and solving diverse and vexing problems such as disaster response, climate change, community violence, and the science of the brain. Yet limited attention has been paid to effective ways for psychologists to engage in public communication and the value of doing so. This article discusses what it means to translate psychological science to the public, provides a rationale for such science communication, and details the major audiences that should be the recipients of such efforts. Traditional and more innovative mechanisms and formats for the translation of psychological science are delineated. The attitudinal and logistical barriers associated with these efforts are examined. Finally, recommendations for improving and advancing psychologists' efforts at translating psychological science to the public are proffered, with consideration given to changing the culture, providing training, forging communication collaborations, and evaluating the efficacy of psychological science communications.
