The Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin (PSPB) is an official publication of the Society of Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP), Inc. PSPB is an international outlet for the rapid dissemination of original contributions based on empirical data in all areas of personality and social psychology. Occasionally, PSPB publishes other pieces of particular interest to members of SPSP, such as special topic issues, selected symposia, and invited addresses.
All papers submitted to PSPB are reviewed with respect to their scholarly merit and the extent to which they advance valid knowledge about social behavior. To this end, submissions that include meta-analyses, replications, alternatives to null hypothesis significance testing, and single as well as multiple studies, are all considered.
SPSP recommends that authors read “Improving the Dependability of Research in Personality and Social Psychology” http://www.spsp.org/publications/personality-and-social-psychology-bulletin/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 PSPB.
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.
Style: All manuscripts should follow the style guidelines set forth in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition, 2009.
Length: Manuscripts must not exceed 10,000 words in length, including the abstract, references, and notes. The word count must appear on the title page. Rare exceptions to this policy can be requested as part of the submission process (justified by the nature, number, or complexity of studies or methods reported, for example). Even in such cases, authors should strive to come as close as possible to 10,000 words.
Abstract and keywords: The page following the title page must include an abstract of no more than 150 words, and below the abstract, 4-5 keywords.
Methods reporting: In addition to the manuscript text, authors are required to submit in a separate file stimulus materials, including the verbatim wording of all independent and dependent variable instructions, manipulations, and measures. [If the research was conducted in a language other than English, the stimulus file can use the original language, as long as the manuscript itself provides sufficient detail for reviewers and readers to evaluate the presented research.] If the article is published, this appendix will be made available on-line.
Result reporting: Data-based submissions must:
- report effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals for primary findings in each study
- 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.
Double-blind review: PSPB now conforms to a double-blind peer review process.
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
- 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
http://www.spsp.org/data-sharing-policy
Additional instructions: In the process of creating a manuscript for the double-blind peer review process, self-citations should be removed when they can be used to identify any of the authors. Authors may substitute "Citation Blinded' in place of these identifying citations.
Manuscript Submission
SAGE Track Submission: All manuscripts must be submitted through SAGE Track. Authors will receive login and password information to access the system and upload manuscripts. If you need submission assistance, contact the Managing Editor at SAGE Publications.
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. For more information on open access options and compliance at SAGE, including self author archiving deposits (green open access) visit SAGE Publishing Policies on our Journal Author Gateway.
