The Review of General Psychology is the official publication of the Society for General Psychology, Division 1 of the American Psychological Association. The Review of General Psychology publishes theoretical, conceptual, and methodological articles that have a range of foci, including human subjectivity, historical, theoretical, or critical studies of psychology, and global, international, or indigenous perspectives on general psychology. Articles may draw on the psychological sciences and/or the psychological humanities and may contribute to dialogues with cognate fields in the social or human sciences, including science and technology studies.

Review of General Psychology (RGP) is the flagship journal of the Society for General Psychology and Interdisciplinary Inquiry, which is Division 1 of the American Psychological Association (APA). Consistent with the mission and vision of the Division, RGP aims to publish innovative and integrative scholarship across fields of scholarship within psychological science and, as well, connecting psychology to other scientific disciplines (e.g., the biological and medical sciences, sociology, anthropology, economics, education, social work, health and social policy, the physical and ecological sciences, and computer science, and engineering) or other scholarly fields (e.g., philosophy, theology, humanities, and the arts). RGP publishes theoretical, conceptual, and methodological articles as well as literature reviews (including meta-analyses). Thematic special issues of the journal are also considered for publication insofar as they are consistent with the aims and scope of the journal.

The work published in RGP is intended to advance understanding of the holistic and dynamic coactions of human life, relations involving physiological/morphology functioning, human cognition, affect, behavior, social relationships, and interrelations with the sociocultural and physical ecology of behavior and development across life. In addition, submissions that advance understanding of the field of psychology itself and, especially, as a hub discipline within the ecology of all sciences are also published.

To these ends, the journal will consider scholarship illuminating the historical, biological, social, and cultural bases of psychological and relational functioning, especially as it occurs among the diversity of the world’s people, including minoritized and marginalized individuals, and as it is instantiated in majority world countries, as well as in Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) nations. Accordingly, RGP will publish global, international, or indigenous scholarship that may support or challenge a generalized conception of the field of psychology, that furthers understanding of the structure, function, or development of psychological functioning that does not fit neatly within one subdiscipline of psychology, and/or that puts psychology into connection and dialogue with other disciplines.

The scope of the journal does not include papers that are devoted primarily to reporting new empirical findings or papers that are reviews, meta-analyses, or conceptual statements that are narrow in substantive or theoretical focus. Authors are advised to check the “Information for Authors” page where they can find a check list for what fits or does not fit the journal. If authors remain unsure about whether their manuscript fits within the aims and scope of the journal, they are invited to contact the Editor or an Associate Editor for advice.

Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.).
