Multivariate Behavioral Research

Aims & Scope

Multivariate Behavioral Research (MBR) publishes a variety of substantive, methodological, and theoretical articles in all areas of the social and behavioral sciences.

Most MBR articles fall into one of two categories.

Substantive articles report on applications of sophisticated multivariate research methods to study topics of substantive interest in personality, health, intelligence, industrial/organizational, and other behavioral science areas.

Methodological articles present and/or evaluate new developments in multivariate methods, or address methodological issues in current research.

We also encourage submission of integrative articles related to pedagogy involving multivariate research methods, and to historical treatments of interest and relevance to multivariate research methods.
