Journal of General Psychology

Aims & Scope

The Journal of General Psychology is a critically acclaimed international publication that is devoted to research in experimental psychology.

Both basic and applied research from a broad variety of research areas is included.

Preference is given to manuscripts that appeal to a general audience of researchers in the psychological sciences.

We seek articles that try to investigate the causes of behaviour and mental processes; and although a majority of those studies will be investigations that involve manipulation of an independent variable(s), we are also interested in research that tests models and theories involving complex psychological phenomenon.
