Social Psychological and Personality Science (SPPS) is a unique short reports journal in social and personality psychology. It aims to publish concise reports of empirical studies related to social and personality psychology (5000 words). SPPS strives to publish research that advances social psychological and personality science. Submissions may present new theory, data, methods, or any combination of these. In addition, SPPS will consider replication studies, regardless of whether or not they support the original finding, particularly (but not exclusively) of original studies published in SPPS. The journal strives for a fast review and publication process to allow research to quickly become part of the scientific conversation.

Published eight times per year, SPPS is a collaboration from the Association for Research in Personality (ARP), the European Association of Social Psychology (EASP), the Society of Experimental Social Psychology (SESP), the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP), and co-sponsored by the Asian Association of Social Psychology (AASP) and Society of Australasian Social Psychologists (SASP). The founding and sponsoring societies provide their membership with complimentary subscriptions, immediately giving the journal a reach of over 10,000 scholars in social and personality psychology worldwide!
