SPPS is going strong! With over 500 submissions already this year, everyone is keeping busy! The editorial team will be staying on an extra year, through June 2019, and we're looking forward to the extra time. We hope you'll continue to send your excellent social and personality psychology papers to us, and continue serving as reviewers, both of which we appreciate tremendously. Of particular note to the ARP community, Maike Luhmann will be joining the team as an Associate Editor next year.
The special issue on "New Developments in Research Methods for Social/Personality Psychology" is out (May and July 2017 issues) and there is lots of great stuff to check out in there, including a paper on equivalence testing (Lakens), one on methods for studying narrative identity (Adler et al.), one on construct validation (Flake & Hehman), one on the GRIM test (Brown & Heathers), and one on self-tracking methods (Harari et al.).
Look out for the next special issue, "The Social/Personality Psychology of Recent Geopolitical Events," which will come out in 2018. And of course we always welcome your submissions on any topic related to social/personality psychology (see our submission guidelines here, and our latest editorial here).
