About This Journal
Developmental Psychology Quarterly (DPQ) is a rigorous peer-reviewed Wiley Academic journal covering lifespan human development. The journal publishes empirical and theoretical research examining cognitive, social, emotional, and moral development from infancy through old age. DPQ is committed to methodological excellence, publishing longitudinal studies, experimental designs, and large-scale observational research. Its editorial board includes leading developmental scientists from across the globe.
Aims & Scope
DPQ publishes empirical and theoretical research on human development across the lifespan:
• Infancy and early childhood: perceptual, cognitive, language, and social development
• Childhood and adolescence: identity formation, peer relationships, academic achievement, and risk behaviour
• Adulthood and aging: cognitive aging, social relationships, personality, and well-being
• Moral and prosocial development: empathy, altruism, and moral reasoning
• Emotion regulation and social-emotional learning
• Parenting, attachment, and family systems
• Cultural and cross-cultural perspectives on development
• Neurodevelopmental conditions: autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities
• Developmental psychopathology: risk and resilience across the lifespan
Longitudinal designs, experimental methods, and studies with diverse samples are particularly valued. Replication studies are also welcome.
