Popis: Recent collaborations across psychological and evolutionary science have resulted in the emergence of an intervention programme for increasing the cohesion and effectiveness of human group processes. Prosocial (Atkins et al., 2019) combines Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT; S. Hayes et al., 2012) and Multi-Level Selection Theory (Wilson & Sober, 1994) with Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom’s Core Design Principles (CDPs) for effective group-levelprocesses (Ostrom, 2012, 2015). Ostrom’s work was ground-breaking but, being primarily descriptive in nature, did not provide a full account of the processes and procedures required to implement the CDPs. The current paper outlines the theoretical underpinnings of Prosocial and offers guidelines for its application within educational communities, providing specific examples of the wide array of ways in which the approach can be applied by professionalssuch as educational psychologists (EPs) to bring about positive change at the systemic level.
