International Journal of Psychology Special Section Issues Now Available for Individual Purchase

Since 2007 the IJP has been publishing Special Section Issues - editions of the journal where a number of articles cover a single subject or respond to a lead paper, alongside the usual varied journal content of unrelated original articles.

So far, the subjects covered are:

• Culture and Human Development
• New Research on Acculturation among Diaspora Migrants
• Agency and Human Development in Times of Social Change
• Implicit Representationss and Personality
• Psychological Research in Berlin, the Host City of ICP 2008 (This issue is also available for free online download here.)

Due to the fact that these Special Section issues are likely to be of particular interest to researchers in those specific areas, we have decided to make the print editions available to buy on an individual basis, without need for a personal or institutional subscription.

These issues can be purchased online here
