This project aims to document how the meanings of psychological concepts – mental disorder, trauma, abuse, prejudice, and bullying, among others – have changed in recent decades. Their meanings now refer to a broader range of phenomena than before. Using experimental and computerized text analysis, this project will document these historical changes in the scientific literature, the culture at large and the general public. It aims to clarify the cultural dynamics that drive ‘concept creep’, proposing that it reflects a rising sensitivity to harm, and examine the complex social implications of expanded definitions of harm. It expects to evaluate major cultural shifts in how the public understands harm and vulnerability.

该项目旨在记录心理概念的含义-精神障碍，创伤，虐待，偏见和欺凌等-在最近几十年发生了变化。它们的含义现在指的是比以前更广泛的现象。利用实验和计算机文本分析，该项目将记录科学文献、文化和公众的这些历史性变化。它旨在澄清驱动“概念蠕变”的文化动力，提出它反映了对伤害的敏感性不断上升，并研究了扩大伤害定义的复杂社会影响。它预计将评估公众如何理解伤害和脆弱性的重大文化转变。
