description A methodological and theoretical chasm continues to exist between social psychology and social neuroscience, particularly with respect to research relevant to understanding racial bias, social justice and inequality. We use the Dang et al. (2022) study to illustrate the challenge of conducting research that lies between these two sub-disciplines. We introduce the idea of an integrative social psychology-social neuroscience research accelerator and a method of how to build it. Pilot testing this accelerator with research relevant to social justice could offer an invaluable contribution to both fields.
