Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues - Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues

SPSSI

is an association of approximately 3000 psychologists, allied scientists, and others, who are interested in the application of research on the psychological aspects of important social issues to public policy solutions.

JSI

Through the Journal of Social Issues, SPSSI is able to bring behavioral and social science theory, empirical evidence, and practice into focus on important human problems.

JSI is published quarterly. Each issue is devoted to a single topic, and available in electronic and print format.

ASAP

Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy is a non-thematic journal that presents timely and innovative research with explicit implications for social action and social policy.

ASAP features quick publication. It is published regularly in electronic format, with a print version produced once each year.

SIPR

Beginning late in 2007, Social Issues and Policy Review will publish a new annual featuring high quality review articles on cutting-edge topics relevant to social issues and social policy.

The first volume of SIPR is scheduled for publication in December 2007 and will include both theoretical and empirical reviews.

SPSSI's newsletter, the Forward, includes information on the activities of the Society, reports from elected officers, features of interest to our members and others, and more.

The SPSSI Listserv is a great way to receive updates about conferences, calls for papers, job opportunities, and more.
