# Journal of Consumer Psychology (journal-of-consumer-psychology)

## Journal positioning

JCP is the official journal of the Society for Consumer Psychology and a leading outlet for the psychology of the consumer. It publishes experimental work grounded in psychological theory that explains the mechanisms behind consumer judgment, affect, motivation, and behavior. Its taste is more squarely psychological than JCR's broad interdisciplinarity: a JCP paper advances psychological theory and demonstrates the underlying process with clean experiments. Readership is the consumer-psychology community across marketing and psychology.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the SCP / publisher site and the submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names JCP (or the Society for Consumer Psychology venue) as the target.
- An experimental consumer-psychology paper with a psychological-theory contribution and process evidence needs positioning.
- A behavioral paper whose strength is mechanism and psychological process (rather than broad managerial reach) needs framing.
- The author needs JCP's desk-reject risks and a credible JCR / JMR / JM alternative list.
