Journal of Social and Political Psychology

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Social and Political Psychology (JSPP) is a peer-reviewed open-access journal (without author fees). It publishes articles at the intersection of social and political psychology from different epistemological, methodological, theoretical, and cultural perspectives and from different regions across the globe that substantially advance the understanding of social problems, their reduction, and the promotion of social justice. It particularly encourages work that relates to issues relevant to regions of the world that are underrepresented in psychological research, or conducts research among populations underrepresented in psychological research; introduces new research methods, or uses methods that are underrepresented in social and political psychological research (e.g., qualitative methods); contributes to innovation, questioning of dominant assumptions and approaches, and critical debate; has the potential to inspire practical applications towards reducing social and political problems and promoting social justice; and draws on other disciplinary perspectives (where relevant) to enrich social and political psychological theorizing.
