The Journal of Personality Assessment (JPA) seeks to publish articles on the methods and applications related to the psychological assessment of psychopathology, maladaptive personality, and normative personality processes. JPA strives to publish cutting edge research, which can occur in a number of contexts and settings, including clinical/consulting, counseling, neuropsychological, forensic, health, social/community, multicultural, developmental/educational, industrial/organizational, and screening of candidates for public safety positions. The journal is interested in receiving manuscripts that consider development and validation of new assessment processes and tests, as well as advance the clinical utility and ecological validity of personality assessment in clinical and nonclinical populations. For those papers reporting on the psychometric development of an instrument, the utility, impact, and overall contribution of the findings to the literature will be carefully considered when evaluating papers that will be reviewed and accepted for publication. Ideally, both self-report and non-self-report assessment methods will be part of the validation process, though this is not required for papers to be considered for publication. Papers that report on studies that use causal or process-focused approaches to validity are particularly encouraged. Moreover, research that focuses exclusively on internal structure (e.g., factor analysis, item response theory) without external validation data are unlikely to be published unless exceptional significance and innovation to the field are clearly articulated. Research that examines a new translation of a test must also substantially advance the broader literature on the test itself to be published. Finally, research using convenience samples, such as university students or crowdsourcing (e.g., Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, Prolific, Qualtrics), will be considered for publication, but it is important that authors clearly consider the impact of findings with respect to validity and utility (especially for clinical topics) in light of possible generalizability limitations.
Count data reflect the number of occurrences of a behavior in a fixed period of time (e.g., number of aggressive acts by children during a playground period). In cases in which the outcome v...
