Reference excerpt

Philosophical Psychology is a peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to the links between philosophy and psychology. The journal publishes research in ethical and philosophical issues emerging from the cognitive sciences, social sciences, and affective sciences, neurosciences, comparative psychology, clinical psychology, psychopathology, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, educational psychology, health psychology, analytic philosophy, moral psychology, phenomenology, history of psychology, and experimental philosophy. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 1.573. Since January 2021, Philosophical Psychology subscribes to the British Philosophical Association Good Practice Scheme and to the Barcelona Principles for a Globally Inclusive Philosophy, taking steps to ensure that members of underrepresented groups in academic philosophy (such as women and non-native speakers of English) are involved as journal editors, editorial board members, authors, and readers. (For more information, see "Journal News". Daily Nous. 2021. Retrieved 2 October 2022.) Philosophical Psychology has calls for papers on topics of interest to the general public that can be investigated by philosophers and psychologists, such as collective irrationalities, bias, and trustworthiness.

Societies Philosophical Psychology has links with the European Society for Philosophy and Psychology (ESPP).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Philosophical Psychology (journal)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Philosophical Psychology (journal) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Philosophical Psychology (journal) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Philosophical Psychology (journal) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.
