Journal Descriptions

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.
