Since its inception, the International Review of Social Psychology has been committed to promoting academic research and theoretical development in the field of social psychology. The core mission of the journal is to reflect the latest research advances in the field of social psychology, especially those that provide insight into the psychological mechanisms and effects behind social phenomena. It places special emphasis on science and rigor, and encourages scholars to explore general problems and specific phenomena in social psychology through innovative research methods and theoretical perspectives.

The journal not only focuses on traditional social psychology issues, such as group behavior, social influence, attitudes, and biases, but also welcomes interdisciplinary research, such as research that combines social psychology with cognitive science, neuroscience, and economics. This interdisciplinary integration contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of social psychological phenomena and promotes the innovation and application of theories. In addition, the journal also attaches special importance to the ethics of research, emphasizing that researchers should follow strict ethical standards in conducting research to ensure the fairness and credibility of research.
