Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science

Aims & Scope

The Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science publishes original empirical research in the following areas of psychology: -social (family and relationships, parenting, personality, community, attitudes and behaviour)-development across the life span (children and youth, aging, seniors/older adults)-school and educational (achievement, testing, cognition)-industrial/organizational (management, group performance, conflict resolution)-clinical and abnormal (depression, psychopathology, neuropsychological, counselling)-environmental (weather, built environment, lighting)-diversity, equity, and inclusion (gender, sexual orientation and gender identity).

Looking at psychology outside of the lab and in the community, the journal welcomes articles that are cross-cutting, either by looking at an issue from multiple perspectives and/or from across different psychological subject matter areas.

Brief reports with theoretical and practical implications may be considered, particularly psychometric reports and to disseminate Canadian norms or forms for standardized tests.
