The European Journal of Social Psychology is an international forum for original research in all areas of social psychology. It is expected that most published articles will be based on empirical results. Theoretical and methodological manuscripts will also be considered if they provide significant contributions to the understanding of social phenomena. The length of articles depends on their goal and on the scope of the contribution. Both short and long articles have a place in this journal. However, manuscripts should not exceed a limit of 40 pages (<320 words per page, excluding tables and references). Articles may be reports of empirical research, major reviews of research on specific areas or presentation of original theoretical positions.

The European Journal of Social Psychology was founded and is sponsored by the European Association of Experimental Social Psychology. It is dedicated to fostering scientific communication within Europe and between European and other social psychologists.
