Aims and Scope
Emotion publishes significant contributions to the study of emotion from a wide range of theoretical traditions and research domains. The journal includes articles that advance knowledge and theory about all aspects of emotional processes, including reports of substantial empirical studies, scholarly reviews, and major theoretical articles.
Submissions from all domains of emotion research are encouraged, including studies focusing on cultural, social, temperament and personality, cognitive, developmental, health, or biological variables that affect or are affected by emotional functioning. Both laboratory and field studies are appropriate for the journal, as are neuroimaging studies of emotional processes. Studies of psychopathology contributing to the understanding of the role of emotional processes in affective and behavioral disorders are also welcome. Reports of work at the animal and molecular levels will be considered if they help to elucidate fundamental mechanisms of emotion.
Most of the articles published in Emotion will be reports of original research, but other types of articles will be considered.
● Articles that present or discuss theoretical formulations of emotion and related affective phenomena that evaluate competing theoretical perspectives, or that offer innovative commentary or analysis on timely topics of inquiry.
● Comprehensive reviews of the empirical literature in an area of study if they contain a meta-analysis.
● Comments on articles published in the journal.
● Direct replications; submissions should include “A Replication of XX Study” in the subtitle of the manuscript as well as in the abstract.
