About JEPS The Journal of European Psychology Students (JEPS) is an open-access, double-blind, peer-reviewed journal for psychology students worldwide. JEPS is a service of the European Federation of Psychology Students' Associations (EFPSA) since 2009, currently published by Ubiquity Press. By ensuring that authors are always provided with extensive feedback, JEPS gives psychology students the chance to gain experience in publishing and to improve their scientific skills. Furthermore, JEPS provides students with the opportunity to share their research and to take a first step toward a scientific career. Submissions are welcome at any time. Mission statement JEPS aims to provide psychology students with the opportunity to gain critical skills in professional research in psychology, as well as to present them with the necessary means to disseminate their findings to their peers and the academic community. Thereby, JEPS hopes to contribute to the edification of the next generation of researchers in psychology. Further, JEPS encourages progressive research practices. In order to foster transparency, we encourage the submission of raw data and the pre-registration of the research. JEPS publishes articles that contribute both theoretically and empirically to an understanding of psychology. Submitted manuscripts must pertain to a psychological field (e.g., social psychology, clinical psychology, health psychology, etc.) or a field related to psychology (e.g., neuroscience, behavioural economics, animal behaviour, etc.). We encourage authors to submit interdisciplinary research if it is relevant to psychology. Criteria for publication As a student journal, JEPS exclusively publishes research projects undertaken in the context of Bachelor and Master study programmes, or other student research programmes. Submissions by students from all countries, whose research is related to psychology, are welcome. We do not publish research solely by PhD candidates or professional researchers. The publication criteria in JEPS emphasise sound research. "Sound research" is hereby defined as being ethical, logical, based on research questions, having rigorous methodologies, substantial evidence for its conclusions, as well as appropriate discussions of results. JEPS does not decline manuscripts based solely on the absence of significant effects. Results reported must not have been published elsewhere. Advantages of publishing in JEPS There are several crucial advantages for studen
