The Journal does not specify appropriate topics for research, but rather seeks to publish significant work reflecting the entire breadth of the field of social psychology. It is anticipated that most published manuscripts will report results of conceptually based empirical research that advances social psychological theory. However, other types of papers, such as theoretical analyses, literature reviews, and methodological comments, are also encouraged if they contribute significantly to an understanding of social processes.
