Aims & Scope
The Journal of Experimental Social Psychology publishes articles that advance the understanding of social psychological phenomena. We are interested in research that addresses fundamental questions about how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. We welcome theoretical and empirical contributions that are rigorous, innovative, and have the potential to make a significant impact on the field. We are particularly interested in research that explores the interplay between individual and social factors, the cognitive and affective processes underlying social behavior, and the application of social psychological principles to real-world problems. We also encourage submissions that employ novel methodologies or integrate insights from other disciplines.
