He is also the founder of the Social Psychology Network.〔(Socialpsychology.org )〕〔(Newsletter.blog.wesleyan.edu )〕 Plous coined the term “action teaching” in 2000.〔Plous, S. (2000). Responding to overt displays of prejudice: A role-playing exercise. Teaching of Psychology, 27, 198-200. (For a free copy, visit www.understandingprejudice.org/pdf/roleplay.pdf)〕 In this article he presented action teaching as the pedagogical counterpart to action research, a term coined by Kurt Lewin in the aftermath of World War II (Marrow, 1969). This experience of action teaching, he says, “leads not only to a better understanding of psychology but to a more just, compassionate and peaceful world.” 〔Azar, B. (2008, December). Bringing lessons to life. Monitor on Psychology, 39, 56-58. (For a free copy, visit www.socialpsychology.org/pdf/action-teaching.pdf)〕 In 2001, he published a study that evaluated the reliability of Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs), and found that animal testing standards in the United States are widely inconsistent across different research institutions.〔(Study Finds Inconsistency in Animal Research Reviews ), Wesleyan University; July 27, 2001〕 Plous has published two books, and numerous journal articles, on social issues, animal rights, and psychology. He is best known as a founder of Social Psychology Network, a suite of nonprofit web sites supported by the National Science Foundation, created in 1996.
