About the journal
Psychological Inquiry is an international forum for the discussion of theory and meta-theory. The journal strives to publish articles that represent broad, provocative, and debatable theoretical ideas primarily in the areas of social psychology and personality. We discourage submission of purely empirical, applied, or review articles. Each issue typically includes a target article followed by peer commentaries and a response from the target author. Manuscripts for the target articles can be invited or submitted. Manuscripts for the commentaries are always invited. Authors for the commentaries are chosen by the editors with input from the target authors.

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission: We prefer that manuscripts be submitted as an e-mail attachment (Word, WordPerfect, or Adobe). Send these to llmartin@uga.edu or to rerber@depaul.edu. Alternatively, you can submit 3 hard copies of your manuscript to: Leonard L. Martin, Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, 30602-3013 or to Ralph Erber, Department of Psychology, DePaul University, 2219 N. Kenmore, Chicago, IL 60614. Target articles should not exceed 50 double-spaced manuscript pages, including references. Manuscripts are not returned.
Editorial Style: Prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA; 5th ed.).
Cover Sheet: Provide a cover sheet that includes the article title and the author's name, affiliation, and full address. (The article title should also appear on the first text page.)
Typing: Use 8?x 11-in. nonsmear paper. Set all margins at 1?in. Type all components double-spaced, including title page, abstract (1,000 characters or fewer, counting spaces between words), text, acknowledgments, references, appendices, tables, figure captions, and footnotes. Indent all paragraphs. Single- spaced material is not accepted.
References: Provide complete, APA-formatted references and text citations and make sure that the two correspond exactly. The APA Manual provides (a) detailed guidelines on preparing references and citations and (b) many excellent sample references and citations. When typing a reference for a chapter in an edited book, be sure to add the inclusive page numbers of the chapter.
Tests, Scales, Subscales, Factors, Variables, Effects: See APA Manual regarding capitalization. Statistics: See APA Manual regarding presentation. Acronyms: Define on first mention.
Figures: Submit (a) professionally prepared black-and-white originals or camera-ready glossy reproductions and (b) photocopies of all figures. Please note that figures in your article will look only as good as what you provide. Make sure lettering and details are crisp, clear, and large enough so that they will be legible upon reduction. (Figures are reduced in size in order to conserve space on the printed page.) Make sure each figure is identified. Assess whether textual information appearing on a piece of artwork might be best presented as part of the caption; alter artwork and caption accordingly.
Permissions: You are responsible for all statements made in your work and for obtaining permission from copyright owners to reprint or adapt a table or figure or to reprint a lengthy quotation. Write to original author(s) and publisher to request nonexclusive world rights in all languages to use the material in the article and in future editions. Provide copies of all permissions and credit lines obtained.
Regulations: State in a cover letter that the manuscript is an original work that is not being submitted elsewhere.
Concordance of Elements: Make sure your manuscript is complete and internally consistent. Each reference must be cited in text at least once; each citation must have a corresponding reference. Likewise, each figure, table, and footnote must be cited; if a figure, table, or footnote is cited in text, the corresponding element must be included with the manuscript.
Production Notes: After a manuscript is accepted for publication, its author is asked to provide a computer disk containing the manuscript file. Files are copyedited and typeset into page proofs. Authors read proofs to correct errors and answer editors' queries. Authors may order reprints when they receive page proofs.
