All material in the manuscript should conform to the latest edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, Washington, DC). Manuscripts must meet the requirements of effective scientific communication as to logic, clarity, and conciseness of exposition, being as brief as their contents will permit. It is essential that the language be irreproachable, consistent with either British or American conventions. Authors are therefore recommended to have their papers revised by a language editor.
The author is responsible for obtaining permission, when necessary, to quote excerpts from any previously published material.
The manuscript should be in its final form when submitted. Hence, it must be so prepared as to conform to the conventions of form and style adopted by this journal.

The author(s) may suggest up to three names as possible reviewers, and may also indicate a preferred editor; this should be the appropriate section editor or, if in doubt, the Editor-in Chief. Submissions will be blind reviewed; the name of the author should therefore not appear on the title-page or be disclosed in the manuscript.
