Journal overview

The European Journal of Developmental Psychology is an official publication of the European Association of Developmental Psychology. It publishes innovative original theoretical, empirical, methodological and review papers dealing with psychological development and developmental psychopathology during infancy, childhood and adolescence. The journal also publishes papers on social policy based on developmental science and which are relevant to education, health or well-being in infancy, childhood and adolescence. It is keen to receive papers relevant to European developmental psychology in that they take account of topics such as European history, European policy or cultural diversity and their relevance to developmental matters. The journal aims to cover the areas of cognitive and social development and the development of the person (self, identity and personality) and to do so from a disciplinary and/or an interdisciplinary perspective. On occasions, issues are devoted to a special theme, under the editorship of an invited expert.

Special section: Developmetrics reports - Instruments and procedures for developmental research

The journal offers the possibility to publish short reports on the development of instruments and procedures for developmental research, or Developmetrics reports.
