The Journal of Genetic Psychology: Research and Theory on Human Development is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering developmental psychology. The first scholarly journal devoted to the field of developmental psychology, it was established in 1891 by G. Stanley Hall as The Pedagogical Seminary, and was renamed The Pedagogical Seminary and Journal of Genetic Psychology in 1924.[1][2] In 1954, the journal obtained its current name.[3] It is published by Taylor & Francis and the editor-in-chief is Gianluca Esposito, University of Trento.
Aims and Scopes: The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. The journal encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. The journal accepts submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. Although the inclusion of genetic and biological data is not required, the journal encourages the submission of studies that explore the intricate interplay between genetic, temperamental, and/or biological factors with environmental influences. In line with the journal's commitment to fostering a comprehensive understanding of developmental psychology, all submitted articles should report, in the title and/or the abstract, the geographical and socio-cultural context where the study is rooted. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double anonymized review.
