About the journal
The Journal of Pacific Rim Psychology (JPRP) stems from the South Pacific Journal of Psychology published between 1984 and 2005 and reflects the substantial growth in interest in the topics covered under the old journal. JPRP fills a void in contemporary psychology, with a focus on a region of the world that is extraordinarily vast, easily recognisable, and rich in cultural diversity. From the Hawaiian Islands at the ‘hub?of the region, through the many Pacific Island nations, Eastern Asia and the Western seaboards of North and South America, the region we call the Pacific Rim has an incredible potential to inform and contribute to our understanding of human behaviour and the issues our species and its many families now face. From climate change to disaster management and poverty reduction, the Pacific Rim region has its share of issues and potential solutions. JPRP is a broad house both theoretically and methodologically. We encourage contributions that are both scholarly and applied, with an interdisciplinary awareness that matches the complexity of real-world questions and dilemmas. Especially welcome are contributions from Indigenous and minority perspectives. The journal will actively seek to foster mutual capacity building in the research domain, and on questions of human development generally. Past papers have come from First peoples in North America, East Timor, the Philippines, Colombia, Aotearoa, Guam, South Korea, Papua New Guinea, and the Hawaiian Islands. We have also had papers about the organisational psychology of aid work, mental health, family dynamics in education, and materialism and wellbeing.

A word count and suggested running head of no more than 50 characters including spaces should also be provided on this second page.
- The third page should contain an abstract only, not exceeding 200 words. It should provide a brief overview of the aims, method and major findings and should not refer to the body of the text in the abstract.
- FIGURES, GRAPHS, ILLUSTRATIONS, PHOTOGRAPHS, SPECIAL CHARACTERS
To ensure optimum quality, please follow the guidelines below when submitting artwork.
Figures, graphs, illustrations and photogrpahs should be prepared to the correct size and each one supplied as an individual file, separate to the manuscript Word file. Include placement instructions in the Word document, such as "[Insert fig 1 here]".
Figures created in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint need to be saved as PDFs.
Figures created in a drawing program such as Adobe llustrator, CorelDRAW, Freehand, Microsoft Publisher or similar should be saved as EPS (encapsulated postscript) files.
Figures created in Photoshop or with other photographic software should be saved with a minimum resolution of 600 dpi and in TIF format. Minimum resolution for scanned graphics is 300dpi for halftone work (e.g., photographs) and 600 dpi for line art, and these should also be in TIF format. All figures and graphs should should be in black and white line art (artwork that has only text and lines, no shades of grey or blocks of colour).
All photographs should be supplied as separate files in JPEG or TIFF formats for a minimum 300 dpi resolution. (As a rough guide, the file size of each photograph should be above 200KB).
Manuscripts which contain special characters (equations, Chinese characters, etc.) need to be supplied as a high resolution PDF file (print or press format) with all fonts embedded as well as the Word or RTF document.
Prior to sending artwork, the separate files of figures, graphs, illustrations, and so on, should be printed by the author to test that the fonts have been embedded correctly and there is no distortion in the artwork (e.g., lines and fonts reproduce cleanly with no jagged lines or fuzzy edges), as any such faults cannot be corrected by the publisher.
