The purpose of the Journal for Person-Oriented Research (JPOR) is to publish person-oriented research in psychological science.“Person-oriented research” refers to theoretical, methodological, and empirical research that is guided by a research paradigm in which the individual is at focus and seen as a functioning totality.This paradigm implies that theories and findings should be interpretable at the individual level and that patterns of individuals´ characteristics are of key interest. Hence, a standard variable-oriented approach, with the variable as the basic conceptual and analytic unit, and analyzing data using group statistics (e.g. correlational analysis) falls normally outside the journal´s scope.JPOR emphasizes the standard scientific criteria of objectivity and replicability of research findings. Hence, many qualitative research approaches also fall outside the journal´s scope.Theoretical and methodological, as well as empirical papers are of interest to the journal.
