Journal Title：Motivation And Emotion

Motivation and Emotion publishes articles on human motivational and emotional phenomena that make theoretical advances by linking empirical findings to underlying processes. Submissions should focus on key problems in motivation and emotion, and, if using non-human participants, should contribute to theories concerning human behavior.  Articles should be explanatory rather than merely descriptive, providing the data necessary to understand the origins of motivation and emotion, to explicate why, how, and under what conditions motivational and emotional states change, and to document that these processes are important to human functioning.A range of methodological approaches are welcome, with methodological rigor as the key criterion.  Manuscripts that rely exclusively on self-report data are appropriate, but published articles tend to be those that rely on objective measures (e.g., behavioral observations, psychophysiological responses, reaction times, brain activity, and performance or achievement indicators) either singly or combination with self-report data.The journal generally does not publish scale development and validation articles.  However, it is open to articles that focus on the post-validation contribution that a new measure can make.  Scale development and validation work therefore may be submitted if it is used as a necessary prerequisite to follow-up studies that demonstrate the importance of the new scale in making a theoretical advance.

《動(dòng)機(jī)與情感》發(fā)表有關(guān)人類動(dòng)機(jī)和情感現(xiàn)象的文章，通過(guò)將實(shí)證研究結(jié)果與潛在過(guò)程聯(lián)系起來(lái)取得理論進(jìn)展。投稿應(yīng)關(guān)注動(dòng)機(jī)和情感中的關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題，如果使用非人類參與者，則應(yīng)為有關(guān)人類行為的理論做出貢獻(xiàn)。文章應(yīng)該是解釋性的而不是僅僅描述性的，提供理解動(dòng)機(jī)和情感起源所需的數(shù)據(jù)，闡明動(dòng)機(jī)和情感狀態(tài)發(fā)生變化的原因、方式和條件，并記錄這些過(guò)程對(duì)人類功能的重要性。歡迎采用各種方法，以方法嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)性為關(guān)鍵標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。完全依賴自我報(bào)告數(shù)據(jù)的稿件是合適的，但已發(fā)表的文章往往是那些依賴客觀指標(biāo)（例如行為觀察、心理生理反應(yīng)、反應(yīng)時(shí)間、大腦活動(dòng)和表現(xiàn)或成就指標(biāo)）的文章，單獨(dú)使用或與自我報(bào)告數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)合使用。該期刊通常不發(fā)表量表開(kāi)發(fā)和驗(yàn)證文章。然而，它對(duì)那些關(guān)注新測(cè)量方法在驗(yàn)證后所作貢獻(xiàn)的文章開(kāi)放。因此，如果量表開(kāi)發(fā)和驗(yàn)證工作是后續(xù)研究的必要先決條件，可以提交這些工作，以證明新量表在理論進(jìn)步中的重要性。

Motivation And Emotion創(chuàng)刊于1977年，由Springer Nature出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋Multiple全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過(guò)審相對(duì)來(lái)講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.7，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
