Masked Review This journal has adopted a masked review policy for all submissions. Authors should make every effort to ensure that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities.

Manuscripts may be copyedited for bias-free language (see chap. 2 of the Manual). Formatting instructions (all copy must be double-spaced) and instructions on preparing tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts appear in the Manual. See APA's Checklist for Manuscript Submission. References References should be listed in alphabetical order. Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed in the References. Basic formats are as follows: Mellor, D. (2004).

All abstracts must be typed on a separate page. Brief Reports Psychological Assessment will review Brief Reports of research studies in clinical assessment. The procedure is intended to permit the publication of carefully designed studies with a narrow focus or of specialized interest. An author who submits a Brief Report must agree not to submit the full report to another journal of general circulation. The Brief Report should give a clear, condensed summary of the procedure of the study and as full an account of the results as space permits. Brief Reports should be limited to three printed pages and prepared according to the following specifications. To ensure that a Brief Report does not exceed three printed pages, follow these instructions for typing: set the character/space limit at 90 characters per line and do not exceed 270 lines for text plus references. These limits do not include the title page, abstract, author note, or footnotes. The number of tables and figures should be limited. The author is encouraged to limit the number of headings within the Brief Report and to combine headings whenever possible. For example, the Results and Discussion sections can be combined. Also, subheadings under the Method section can often be omitted. Authors are encouraged but not required to have available an extended report. If one is available, the Author Note of the Brief Report should include the following statement: Correspondence concerning this article (and requests for an extended report of this study) should be addressed to [give the author's full name and address]. Publication Policies APA policy prohibits an author from submitting the same manuscript for concurrent consideration by two or more publications. APA's policy regarding posting articles on the Internet may be found at Posting Articles on the Internet. In addition, it is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13). As this journal is a primary journal that publishes original material only, APA policy prohibits publication of any manuscript that has been published in whole or substantial part elsewhere. Authors have an obligation to inform the Editor about prior publication of any data upon which their article depends. In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14). APA expects authors submitting to this journal to adhere to these standards. Specifically, authors of manuscripts submitted to APA journals are expected to have available their data throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication. APA expects authors submitting to this journal to adhere to these and other standards outlined in the Manual. Authors will be required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment. A copy of the APA Ethical Principles may be obtained from the APA Ethics Office web site or by writing the APA Ethics Office, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242. Authors of accepted manuscripts will be required to transfer copyright to APA. APA requires authors to reveal any possible conflict of interest in the conduct and reporting of research (e.g., financial interests in a test or procedure, funding by pharmaceutical companies for drug research). Preparing Files for Production If your manuscript is accepted for publication, please follow the guidelines for file formats and naming provided at Preparing Your Accepted Manuscript for Production. If your manuscript was mask reviewed, please ensure that the final version for production includes a byline and full author note for typesetting.   Editorial Board Editor Milton E. trauss Case Western Reserve University Associate Editors Kathleen M.
