Psynopsis Volume 46, Issue 2 on People, Culture, and Psychology is now available.
Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of preventable deaths for children in Canada and the United States. Previous research has shown that engaging in physical risk taking increases injury risk for school-age children and a positive elevated mood state is associated with greater physical risk taking by children.
In an article recently published in the Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science (CJBS), Barbara A. Morrongiello, Mackenzie Seasons, Emily Weinberger, and Caroline Zolis examined whether exposing children to framed messages about safety could reduce risk behaviors when they are in a positive elevated mood state and playing in a situation with injury risks. Read the article spotlight here.
The editorial board of Canadian Psychology invites you to submit your work to the journal. As the flagship title of the Canadian Psychological Association, the journal publishes generalist articles in areas of theory, research, practice, education, and policy that are of interest to a broad cross-section of psychologists.
Canadian Psychology welcomes systematic reviews (including meta-analyses) and literature reviews relevant to theory or research in basic and applied areas—for example, human and non-human neurosciences, cognitive, perception, history and theoretical systems, quantitative, developmental, social, personality, clinical, counselling, educational and school, industrial/organizational, community, as well as teaching and learning. Click here to learn more.
CJEP is now issuing an open call for special issue proposals, to be considered for three deadlines per year by the senior editorial team—September 15, December 31, and June 15. Note that if you are considering submitting a special issue proposal, you are welcome to optionally reach out to Editor Debra Titone ahead of time to discuss and refine your idea.
Each proposal should be no more than two pages, single spaced, and should address the following.

“Psychology journals need to be more than repositories for psychological findings and forums exclusively for psychologists and allied professionals: They must also ensure that what psychology can contribute to society at large is readily transferable to and accessible by the wider public. Thus, the true impact of Canadian Psychology will be not just how psychology as a science and a profession is served by the published articles but also how the world at large is informed about and benefits from the knowledge presented in the journal.”
—Don Saklofske, PhD
Editor of Canadian Psychology
“In addition to preserving its history, I am interested in broadening CJEP’s scope in a few ways. I would like to see submissions that address, among other topics, developmental phenomena, comparative cognition, and cognitive neuroscience approaches, as well as work that advances cognitive theory through the study of diverse populations or applied real-world social or technological challenges. I believe the journal can benefit from the contributions of authors and reviewers who have a wide variety of lived experiences and for their articles to address experimental questions about cognitive or perceptual phenomena that are relevant to these diverse experiences and perspectives.”
—Debra Titone, PhD
Editor of the Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology
