Social Psychology publishes innovative and methodologically sound research and serves as an international forum for scientific discussion and debate in the field of social psychology. Topics include all basic social psychological research themes, methodological advances in social psychology, as well as research in applied fields of social psychology. The journal focuses on original empirical contributions to social psychological research, but is open to theoretical articles, critical reviews, and replications of published research.
The journal was published until volume 38 (2007) as the Zeitschrift für Sozialpsychologie (ISSN 0044-3514). Drawing on nearly 50 years of experience and tradition in publishing high-quality, innovative science, Social Psychology has an internationally renowned team of editors and consulting editors from all areas of basic and applied social psychology, thus ensuring that the highest international standards are maintained.
Social Psychology offers a transparent peer-review process and a short time-lag between acceptance of papers and publication.
Social Psychology is archived with Portico.
Peer Review Week: Recognition For Reviewers
Hogrefe journals collaborate with the Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Service to support reviewers and ensure they receive the recognition they deserve for their peer review contributions. The Reviewer Recognition Service enables contributors to track, verify, and showcase their work for promotion and use in funding applications. It is seamlessly integrated into each journal’s Editorial Manager system so reviewers can opt-in to have their completed reviews automatically added to the Web of Science Researcher Profile.

New Editor-in-Chief
Hogrefe Publishing is delighted to announce that Adam Fetterman, PhD (Houston, TX) has agreed to step up from his associate editor role to become the Editor-in-Chief of Social Psychology starting September 1, 2024. At this point we wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to Prof. Mario Gollwitzer, PhD (Munich) and Prof. Michael Häfner, PhD (Berlin) for their outstanding contributions as temporary additional editors-in-chief over recent months, as well as outgoing editor-in-chief Prof. Anja Achtziger (Friedrichshafen) for her work over the past 4 years at the helm of the journal.
Message from the new Editor-in-Chief
“Social Psychology has been an excellent outlet for not only a wide range of topics in social psychology, but also for critical examinations of our field, as was seen with the successful special issue on replicability. I am excited to continue developing this identity by creating good controversy and debate within its pages. My goal is to further establish Social Psychology as a leading journal for quality, open and transparent, and exciting science, befitting of its name. I am excited for the next 4 years of journal and to see what new discoveries it helps produce.”
