Psychology Beyond Borders (PBB) is an international non-profit organisation focused on the research and treatment of the mental and community health impacts of terrorism and natural disasters.
It was created by Issues Deliberation Australia/America (IDA), an international non-partisan public policy and political psychology think tank, in 2005.
[citation needed] IDA conducted also research in political psychology using traditional social scientific methods.
This research includes investigations in identification and voting behaviour, the role of women in boards of directors, and the response of populations to large-scale attacks or natural disasters.
[citation needed] IDA has been criticised by some commentators for perceived bias in the speakers at deliberative polls.
