Use when turning the synthesis results of a Psychological Bulletin manuscript into a genuine theoretical contribution — reconciling conflicting findings, building or refining a model, and stating scope conditions and a research agenda. Makes the synthesis matter; it does not run the analysis.

# Theory Integration (psychbull-theory-integration)

A Psychological Bulletin paper is judged not by the size of its table but by **what the synthesis
means for psychology**. The journal publishes **evaluative and integrative** reviews — the value is in
**interpreting** an existing literature, reconciling its contradictions, and advancing or refining a
theoretical account. (Note: a *purely* new theory with no synthesis belongs to *Psychological Review*;
here the theory is grounded in the synthesized evidence.) This skill builds the contribution; the
numbers come from the analysis skills.

## When to trigger

- The pooled effect, moderators, and bias analyses exist and you must say what they *mean*
- A literature has conflicting findings you can now reconcile
- Building or refining a theoretical model from the synthesized evidence
