Review of General Psychology

Aims & Scope

The Review of General Psychology aims to publish innovative theoretical, conceptual and methodological articles that contribute to the knowledge of the human psyche or to the understanding of the field of psychology itself.

To this end, the journal seeks to showcase work on the historical, social and cultural conditions of subjectivity; research on the limits of generality; on the biological bases of experience; and global, international or indigenous projects that might support or challenge general psychology.

We encourage original work that does not fit neatly within one subdiscipline of psychology or that puts psychology into connection and dialogue with other disciplines.
