We review ways in which psychologists have contributed to the study of migration as well as ways in which psychological scholarship could be integrated with work from other social science fields. Broadly we discuss four major contributions that psychology brings to the study of international migration-studying migrants' internal psychological experiences incorporating a developmental perspective conducting experimental studies and integrating across levels of analysis. Given the position of psychology as a 'hub science' connecting more traditional social sciences with health and medical sciences we argue for a more prominent role for psychologists within the study of international migration. Such a role is intended to complement the roles of other social scientists and to create a more interdisciplinary way forward for the field of migration studies. The research note concludes with an agenda for further scholarship on migration.Englishacculturation, experiments, interdisciplinary, levels of analysis, psychological processes, well-beingNATIONAL IDENTIFICATION, IMMIGRANT ADOLESCENTS, LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS, CULTURAL TRANSITION, INTERGROUP CONTACT, MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS, ACCULTURATION, ADJUSTMENT, PREJUDICE, ADAPTATIONThe role of psychologists in international migration research: Complementing other expertise and an interdisciplinary way forwardArticle
