The Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science publishes original empirical research in the following areas of psychology: social (family and relationships, parenting, personality, community, attitudes and behaviour) development across the life span (children and youth, aging, seniors/older adults) school and educational (achievement, testing, cognition) industrial/organizational (management, group performance, conflict resolution) clinical and abnormal (depression, psychopathology, neuropsychological, counselling) environmental (weather, built environment, lighting) diversity, equity, and inclusion (gender, sexual orientation and gender identity) Looking at psychology outside of the lab and in the community, the journal welcomes articles that are cross-cutting, either by looking at an issue from multiple perspectives and/or from across different psychological subject matter areas. Brief reports with theoretical and practical implications may be considered, particularly psychometric reports and to disseminate Canadian norms or forms for standardized tests. We also welcome Systematic/Scoping reviews and meta-analyses related to behavioural science if they adhere to best practice methods (see e.g., PRISMA; PRISMA-ScR/).
