David Navon (1984) in his critical paper on the validity of the cognitive resources metaphor put into question the testability of this construct in current psychology comparing resources to a theoretical soup stone. The skepticism of cognitive psychologists is rarely shared by social psychologists who commonly apply the limited resources metaphor to illustrate the role of processing capacity in many social phenomena. In the current paper, both original assumptions of theories of limited attentional resources and the idea of application of methods for diagnosing limited processing capacity in experimental social psychology are discussed. The aim of this presentation is to show common solutions used for testing the assumption of cognitive resources limitation in social psychology research. The second important issue is to point out some specific problems that stem from the application of original methods of cognitive psychology in explanations of complex social behaviors.

The paper introduces the issue of application in social psychology of experimental tools and theoretical constructs stemming from related subdomains of experimental psychology. The specificity of this trend, its benefits and its limitations are described. The examples of psychological knowledge integration presented in subsequent sections of the special issue are introduced. Two potential limitations of knowledge integration are characterized: narrowing the methods of investigation to specific paradigms or theoretical perspectives and the reduction of social phenomena to basic perspectives of elementary psychological phenomena. Some ideas for the smart integration of knowledge that reduces abovementioned limitations are proposed.

The discussion initiated by Tomasz Witkowski and Pawel Fortuna in the key article “On psycho-business, tolerance and responsibility or strategies employed by pure scientists” gathered 14 discussants, both academic psychologists and psychologists interested in practical applications of knowledge. In this paper, which serves as an introduction to the whole discussion, we attempt to identify the main issues brought up by the discussants. They include: (a) diagnosis of the market of psychological services, (b) causes and mechanisms of pseudo-science and of proliferation of the pseudo-psychological business, (c) relationships between academic and applied psychology, (d) methods of counteracting pseudo-science and pseudo-psychological business. In conclusion we encourage representatives of the psychological community in Poland to enter more willingly into the substantially sound discussions concerning the meeting of academic knowledge and psychological practice.
