Scope
Current Research in Ecological and Social Psychology (CRESP) is a new primary research, gold open access journal from Elsevier. CRESP publishes original papers and short communications resulting from research in ecological and social approaches to human behavior.
Current Research in Ecological and Social Psychology aims to bridge ecological and social approaches to human behavior. It integrates ecological and social psychology and focuses on broad topics such as cooperation and conflict, culture, communication, coordination, as well as the processes that might guide these behaviors, such as emotion, motivation cognition, or neuroscientific processes. Ecological psychology has slightly different meanings, but CRESP adopts a broad approach. It focuses on the relation between the individual and the natural or human-made environment. Key themes center on how climate, the presence of natural resources, as well as natural and human stressors (pathogens, disasters, density, conflict, migration, poverty), may affect cognition, emotion, and behavior of humans (and other animals). Social psychology focuses on the relationship between the individual and the social environment. Key themes center on how other people influence emotion, cognition, beliefs, coordination, communication, power, and cooperation. And finally, the interplay of ecological and social psychology focuses on the relationship between social interaction and culture with key aspects of the ecological and societal environment, including broad societal variables such as those shaped by nature (e.g., climate), economics (e.g., wealth), political science (e.g., conflict and governance), or communication (e.g., media).
