Journal scope statement

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology ® publishes original papers in all areas of personality and social psychology and emphasizes empirical reports, only may include specialized theoretical, methodological, and review papers.

The journal is divided into three independently edited sections.

Attitudes and Social Cognition addresses all aspects of psychology (eastward.1000., attitudes, cognition, emotion, motivation) that take place in meaning micro- and macrolevel social contexts.

Topics include, but are not limited to, attitudes, persuasion, attributions, stereotypes, prejudice, person memory, motivation and cocky-regulation, communication, social development, cultural processes, and the coaction of moods and emotions with cognition.

Nosotros accept papers using traditional social-personality psychology methods. However, we likewise strongly welcome innovative, theory-driven papers that utilize novel methods (e.g., biological methods, neuroscience, big-scale interventions, social network analyses, or "big data" approaches).

Papers that are driven by such methods may be processed under a new category of "Innovations in Social Psychology" and potentially handled in an expedited fashion (see editorial published online).

All papers will be evaluated with criteria that are consistent with those of the best empirical outlets in social, behavioral, and biological sciences.

Interpersonal Relations and Group Processes focuses on the psychology of (interpersonal, intragroup, intergroup) social relations and relationships, whether enduring or fleeting.

Submissions may address one type of social relation (e.g., shut romantic relationships) or they may address multiple types of social relation (east.g., status within a team and across an institution). Submissions may employ 1 method or multiple methods. Submissions may examine one context or multiple contexts (e.grand., countries, developmental period).

Although a multiplicity of methods and contexts will probable be considered a strength, all submissions should address the implications of the chosen method and context for the power and quality of inference.

For more on the orientation of the section please refer to the Editor'due south Editorial: Colin Wayne Leach, editor, JPSP-IRGP section, December 2019 (PDF, 85KB).

Personality Processes and Individual Differences publishes research on all aspects of personality psychology. It includes studies of individual differences and basic processes in behavior, emotions, coping, health, motivation, and other phenomena that reflect personality.

Articles in areas such equally personality construction, personality development, and personality cess are also appropriate to this department of the journal, as are studies of the coaction of civilization and personality and manifestations of personality in everyday beliefs.

Disclaimer: APA and the editors of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology presume no responsibleness for statements and opinions avant-garde past the authors of its articles.

Submission Guidelines

Prior to submission, please carefully read and follow the submission guidelines detailed below. Manuscripts that do not conform to the submission guidelines may be returned without review.

General submission guidelines

The editorial team of theJournal of Personality and Social Psychology is committed to both transparency and rigor in conducting and reporting research. We believe that science advances through a cyclical and recursive procedure that includes both (i) a theory-building, exploratory/descriptive stage and (ii) a theory-testing, confirmatory phase. Further, we recognize that replication efforts are the part and packet of the science that is empirically valid and socially responsible. We therefore back up and encourage enquiry that is informed by both phases. Guided by this overarching philosophy, nosotros set out some physical submission standards.

Transparency and openness

APA endorses the Transparency and Openness Promotion (Elevation) Guidelines by a community working group in conjunction with the Middle for Open Science (Nosek et al. 2015). Effective July ane, 2021, empirical research, including meta-analyses, submitted to the Periodical of Personality and Social Psychology must at least meet the "requirement" level (Level ii) for citation; data, code, and materials transparency; design and assay transparency; and study and analysis plan preregistration. Authors should include a subsection in the method section titled "Transparency and Openness." This subsection should detail the efforts the authors have made to comply with the Meridian guidelines.

For example:

  • We written report how we determined our sample size, all data exclusions (if any), all manipulations, and all measures in the report, and we follow JARS (Kazak, 2018). All data, analysis code, and inquiry materials are available at [stable link to repository]. Data were analyzed using R, version 4.0.0 (R Core Squad, 2020) and the package ggplot, version 3.2.1 (Wickham, 2016). This written report's design and its analysis were not pre-registered.

Links to preregistrations and data, lawmaking, and materials should also exist included in the author note.

Data, materials, and code

Authors must land whether data and study materials are bachelor and where to access them. If they cannot be made available, authors must state the legal or ethical reasons why they are not available. Recommended repositories include APA'south repository on the Open up Science Framework (OSF), or authors can access a full list of other recommended repositories.

In both the Author Notation and at the end of the method department, specify whether and where the data and materials are available or annotation the legal or upstanding reasons for not doing so. For submissions with quantitative or simulation analytic methods, state whether the study analysis code is available, and, if so, where to access it (or the legal or ethical reason why it is not bachelor).

For example:

  • All data accept been fabricated publicly available at the [repository proper name] and tin can be accessed at [persistent URL or DOI].
  • Materials and analysis code for this study are not available.
  • The lawmaking behind this assay/simulation has been fabricated publicly available at the [repository name] and can be accessed at [persistent URL or DOI].

If you cannot make your information available on a public site, authors are required to follow current APA policy to make the materials and data used in a published report available in a timely fashion to other researchers upon request.

If an writer has multiple studies, the repository landing folio should clearly identify how to access the specific type of information for each study and the links.

  • Download a quick guide on how to organize this information (PDF, 310KB)

Disclosure of prior uses of information

Upon submission of a manuscript, the authors must disclose any prior uses in published, accepted, or under review papers of data reported in the manuscript. The cover letter should include a complete reference list of these manufactures as well as a clarification of the extent and nature of any overlap betwixt the nowadays submission and the previous work.

Citation standards

Upon submission, all data sets, materials, and program code created by others must be appropriately cited in the text and listed in the reference department. Such materials should exist recognized as original intellectual contributions and afforded recognition through citation.

Where possible, references for data sets and program lawmaking should include a persistent identifier assigned by digital athenaeum, such every bit a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).

Design and analysis transparency

Authors must adhere to the Journal Article Reporting Standards (JARS) (PDF, 220KB). See also the specific department editorials and instructions on data to include in method and results sections. It is particularly of import to provide justifiable power considerations and specific details related to sample characteristics.

Preregistration of studies and analysis plans

Preregistration of studies and specific hypotheses can be a useful tool for making strong theoretical claims. Likewise, preregistration of analysis plans can be useful for distinguishing confirmatory and exploratory analyses. Investigators may reregister prior to conducting the research (e.yard., ClinicalTrials.gov or the Preregistration for Quantitative Research in Psychology template) via a publicly accessible registry system (e.g., OSF, ClinicalTrials.gov, or other trial registries in the WHO Registry Network).

At the same fourth dimension, nosotros recognize that at that place may be expert reasons to modify a report or analysis plan afterward it has been preregistered, and thus encourage authors to do so when appropriate so long every bit all changes are conspicuously and transparently disclosed in the manuscript.

The journal also acknowledges that preregistration may not always be appropriate, especially in the exploratory phases of a enquiry project. If authors choose to preregister their research and analyses plans, all documents should be succinct, specific, and targeted, besides as anonymized to maintain double-blind peer review.

Manufactures must state whether or not any piece of work was preregistered and, if and then, where to access the preregistration. Preregistrations must exist bachelor to reviewers; authors may submit a masked copy via stable link or supplemental material. Links in the method section and the writer annotation should exist replaced with an identifiable copy on acceptance.

For example:

  • This report'due south pattern was preregistered; see [STABLE LINK OR DOI].
  • This written report'south design and hypotheses were preregistered; see [STABLE LINK OR DOI].
  • This study's analysis plan was preregistered; meet [STABLE LINK OR DOI].
  • This study was not preregistered.

Whether or not a written report is preregistered, theJournal of Personality and Social Psychology stresses the importance of transparency in reporting and expects researchers to fully disclose in their manuscript all decisions that were information-dependent (e.g., deciding when to stop information collection, what observations to exclude, what covariates to include, and what analyses to conduct after rather than before seeing the data).

Replication and Registered Reports

Periodical of Personality and Social Psychology acknowledges the significance of replication in building a cumulative knowledge base in our field. Nosotros therefore encourage submissions that effort to replicate important findings, especially enquiry previously published in Periodical of Personality and Social Psychology.

Major criteria for publication of replication papers include (i) theoretical significance of the finding existence replicated, (ii) statistical power of the study that is carried out, and (iii) the number and ability of previous replications of the same finding.

Other factors that would weigh in favor of a replication submission include: pre-registration of hypotheses, design, and analysis; submissions by researchers other than the authors of the original findings; and attempts to replicate more than 1 study of a multi-report original publication.

Delight note in the Manuscript Submission Portal that the submission is a replication article; submissions should include "A Replication of Xx Study" in the subtitle of the manuscript equally well as in the abstract. Replication manuscripts, if accepted, volition exist published online just and will be listed in the Tabular array of Contents in the print journal.

Papers that make a substantial novel conceptual contribution and also incorporate replications of previous findings continue to be welcome as regular submissions.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology will also publish Registered Reports. Such submissions will consist of a detailed research proposal, including an abstract, introduction, hypotheses, method, planned analyses, and implications of the expected results.

We recommend that authors initially contact the editor earlier submitting a Registered Report. The proposed research will exist reviewed and, if approved, should then be carried out in accordance with the proposed program.

To the extent that the written report is judged to accept been competently performed, the paper will be accustomed (pending any necessary revisions) regardless of the outcome of the study.

Department submission guidelines

Submit manuscripts to the appropriate section editor. Section editors reserve the right to redirect papers as appropriate. When papers are judged as improve suited for another section, editors normally will render papers to authors and suggest resubmission to the more advisable department.

Rejection past one section editor is considered rejection by all; therefore a manuscript rejected by ane section editor should non exist submitted to another.

All three sections of Periodical of Personality and Social Psychology are now using a software organization to screen submitted content for similarity with other published content.

The system compares the initial version of each submitted manuscript against a database of 40+ million scholarly documents, equally well as content actualization on the open up spider web.

This allows APA to check submissions for potential overlap with material previously published in scholarly journals (eastward.thousand., lifted or republished material).

Author contributions statements using CRediT

The APA Publication Transmission (7th ed.) stipulates that "authorship encompasses…not only persons who do the writing but also those who have made substantial scientific contributions to a study." In the spirit of transparency and openness, theJournal of Personality and Social Psychology has adopted the Correspondent Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) to describe each writer's private contributions to the work. CRediT offers authors the opportunity to share an accurate and detailed description of their various contributions to a manuscript.

Submitting authors will be asked to identify the contributions of all authors at initial submission co-ordinate to this taxonomy. If the manuscript is accustomed for publication, the CRediT designations volition be published as an author contributions statement in the author note of the final article. All authors should have reviewed and agreed to their individual contribution(s) earlier submission.

CRediT includes 14 contributor roles, every bit described beneath:

  • Conceptualization: Ideas; conception or evolution of overarching research goals and aims.
  • Data curation: Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), scrub data and maintain research data (including software code, where it is necessary for interpreting the data itself) for initial use and later reuse.
  • Formal analysis: Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize study information.
  • Funding acquisition: Acquisition of the financial support for the projection leading to this publication.
  • Investigation: Conducting a enquiry and investigation process, specifically performing the experiments, or data/testify collection.
  • Methodology: Development or blueprint of methodology; creation of models.
  • Project administration: Management and coordination responsibleness for the research activity planning and execution.
  • Resources: Provision of written report materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computing resources, or other assay tools.
  • Software: Programming, software development; designing computer programs; implementation of the computer code and supporting algorithms; testing of existing code components.
  • Supervision: Oversight and leadership responsibility for the research activity planning and execution, including mentorship external to the cadre squad.
  • Validation: Verification, whether as a part of the activeness or carve up, of the overall replication/reproducibility of results/experiments and other research outputs.
  • Visualization: Preparation, cosmos and/or presentation of the published work, specifically visualization/data presentation.
  • Writing—original draft: Grooming, cosmos and/or presentation of the published work, specifically writing the initial typhoon (including substantive translation).
  • Writing—review and editing: Preparation, cosmos and/or presentation of the published piece of work by those from the original enquiry grouping, specifically disquisitional review, commentary or revision—including pre- or post-publication stages.

Authors can claim credit for more one contributor role, and the aforementioned office can be attributed to more than one author.

There are many available preregistration forms (eastward.1000., the APA Preregistration for Quantitative Research in Psychology template, ClininalTrials.gov, or other preregistration templates available via OSF).
