This special issue seeks scholarly research at the intersection of psychology and marketing that produces practical and societal impact. Impact is defined as research that creates positive change beyond academia by addressing real-world issues or providing clear benefits to individuals, organizations, and society. The issue welcomes research from various perspectives, including those developed through partnerships with policymakers, business leaders, nonprofit organizations, and consumer groups.

Submissions should offer rigorous analysis grounded in relevant theory while providing insights into how research can advance theory, influence practice, and address pressing societal challenges. Field-based research is particularly encouraged. The central criterion for acceptance is evidence that research generates meaningful impact on different stakeholders.
