期刊介绍： Psychological Science in the Public Interest (PSPI) is a unique journal featuring comprehensive and compelling reviews of issues that are of direct relevance to the general public. These reviews are written by blue ribbon teams of specialists representing a range of viewpoints, and are intended to assess the current state-of-the-science with regard to the topic.

PSPI reports are regularly featured in Scientific American Mind and are typically covered in a variety of other major media outlets.
