Personality and Social Psychology Review
About the Title
Personality and Social Psychology Review is an official journal of SPSP, the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. It is the premiere outlet for original theoretical papers in all areas of personality and social psychology. In the pages of PSPR, you will find stimulating conceptual pieces that identify exciting new directions for research on the psychological underpinnings of human individuality and social functioning, as well as those that provide new, integrative frameworks for innovating existing research programs. The journal welcomes submissions that center personality and social psychology, but is especially interested in submissions that demonstrate the ways in which these fields connect to other disciplines, both within psychology, and beyond to disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, arts, medicine, nursing, education, and life sciences. The journal wants to publish theory that makes a difference in the real world and is especially interested in theory that speaks to the experiences of people who are marginalized or oppressed by prevailing power structures. Occasionally PSPR publishes other pieces of particular interest to members of the Society, such as special topical issues, selected symposia, and invited addresses. All papers are reviewed with respect to their scholarly merit.
Please see the Editor’s incoming editorial for more information.

PSPR aims to publish theory that makes a difference in the real world. The journal is especially interested in theory that speaks to the experiences of people who are marginalized or oppressed by prevailing power structures.
PSPR papers must be grounded in personality and social psychology, but the journal is welcoming to scholarship that demonstrate the ways in which these fields connect to other disciplines, both within psychology, and beyond to disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, arts, medicine, nursing, and life sciences.

Content:
Personality and Social Psychology Review (PSPR) publishes original theoretical papers and conceptual review articles in personality and social psychology. As an official publication of SPSP, the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, PSPR (a) supports the society’s objectives of the scientific advancement of personality and social psychology and the advancement of human welfare, (b) provides an outlet for important conceptual and empirical developments and emerging trends in the fields of personality and social psychology worldwide, and (c) presents a versatile outlet for substantive work that does not readily fit the existing publication molds. Our readership includes social, personality, and organizational psychologists and sociologists.
PSPR is intended as a forum for conceptual pieces that initiate new lines of research and theory or provide a coherent framework for existing theory and programs of research. The journal emphasizes theory-based reviews of empirical contributions to a substantive area of research and offers integrative theoretical formulations concerning work in a given area of personality and/or social psychology. The journal does not publish methodological papers or critiques unless they make a direct and substantial contribution to theory. Occasionally PSPR publishes other pieces of particular interest to members of the Society, such as special topical issues, selected symposia, and invited addresses. All papers are reviewed with respect to their scholarly merit.
Manuscript Preparation:
Compliance with these policies is verified upon submission of manuscripts. Failure to comply with the policies will prevent submission and review of manuscripts.
SPSP recommends that authors read "Improving the Dependability of Research in Personality and Social Psychology" http://www.spsp.org/publications/personality-and-social-psychology-review/manuscript-preparation and APA's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct Standard 8 http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/index.aspx?item=11 before submitting manuscripts to PSPR.
Use a word processor to prepare manuscript. Files in Word or rich text format are preferred. All components of the manuscript should be double-spaced and should conform to the formatting and style conventions of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition).
Title Page. On page 1, include (a) the article title no longer than 50 words, (b) the names, affiliations, and contact information for all authors, and (c) a running head containing no more than 45 characters and spaces.
Abstract. On page 2, type an abstract no more than 150 words long. Longer abstracts will be rejected by the manuscript submission website.
Tables. Refer to APA Publication Manual for table format; double spaced. Provide each table with an explanatory title that is intelligible without reference to the text. Provide an appropriate heading for each column in the table. Clearly indicate any units of measurement in the table. If the table is reprinted or adapted from another source, include a credit line in the table caption. Consecutively number all tables.
Figures and Figure Captions. Figure captions should appear at the end of the manuscript and should be consecutively numbered with Arabic numerals; make captions intelligible without reference to the text. If a figure is reprinted or adapted from another source, include a credit line in the caption. Each figure should be prepared and saved in a separate, clearly identified file, which will be uploaded to the manuscript submission website at the same time as the main body of the manuscript. Figures should be prepared in high-resolution format such with a minimal resolution of 300 dots per inch for grayscale images.
Methodology reporting (for empirical papers). In addition to the text, authors are required to submit in a separate file any relevant stimulus materials or coding materials, including the verbatim wording (translated if necessary) of all independent and dependent measures. If the article is published, this appendix will be made available on-line.
Results reporting (for empirical papers). Data-based submissions must report effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals for primary findings in each study, and address issues of sample size and consequent issues of power in each study or, in the case of multiple-study articles, in the context of evaluating the overall case for the reliability of the primary findings. Meta-analyses should follow the Meta-Analysis Reporting Standards (MARS) recommended by the APA (http://www.apa.org/pubs/authors/jars.pdf).
Masked review. The standard review process is to mask manuscript authorship and reviewer identities. Therefore, author names, institutions, and other identifying information should be removed from the title page and elsewhere in the manuscript.
Ethical Practices verification. Corresponding authors of submitted papers must verify that:
- the same or substantially similar manuscript has not been simultaneously submitted for consideration by another journal
- the same or substantially similar manuscript has not already been published in whole or part
For empirical papers:
- data collection complied with current APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct
- the raw data and related coding information underlying all findings of empirically-based publications will be shared consistent with SPSP’s (2013) Data Sharing Policy
Cover Letter and Permissions. Only original manuscripts will be considered for publication. Authors are responsible for all statements made in their work and for obtaining permission to reprint or adapt a copyrighted work. Authors should write to the original author(s) and original publisher to request nonexclusive world rights in all languages to use the material in the article and in future editions. Include copies of all permissions and credit lines with the manuscript (see the APA Publication Manual for sample credit lines).
Manuscript Submission. Submit manuscripts to the Editor by going to the journal’s website at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pspr
Logging in. If you already have an account, enter your ID and password to access the website. If you are uncertain of your password, enter your email address in the “Password Help” section. If you do not already have an account, select “Create Account” and follow the instructions.
Author Center. Once logged in, select “Author Center” and follow the link for manuscript submission. The website will guide you through the necessary steps to upload your submission. You will be required to provide at least 3 keywords for your submission. You will have the opportunity to upload a cover letter with your submission, and you will be asked to confirm that the manuscript is an original work that is not concurrently under editorial consideration at another journal and that conforms to the ethical guidelines of the American Psychological Association. Submitting authors may suggest preferred and non-preferred reviewers, although the editors retain final discretion in the selection of reviewers. If you have questions, use the “Get Help Now” link.
Manuscript Review and Acceptance. Submitted manuscripts are screened by the editors to determine their general suitability and match to the journal’s mission. Manuscripts that fall within the journal’s purview are then peer reviewed.
Authors of accepted manuscript must complete a copyright transfer form found in the Author Center. It is the responsibility of the submitting author to ascertain that all co-authors approve the accepted version of the manuscript and concur with its publication in the journal. Authors’ files are copyedited and typeset into page proofs. Authors read the proofs to correct errors and answer editors’ queries.
If you or your funder wish your article to be freely available online to nonsubscribers immediately upon publication (gold open access), you can opt for it to be included in SAGE Choice, subject to payment of a publication fee. The manuscript submission and peer review procedure is unchanged. On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let SAGE know directly if you are choosing SAGE Choice. To check journal eligibility and the publication fee, please visit SAGE Choice.
