《實(shí)驗(yàn)性精神病理學(xué)雜志》是一本電子期刊，旨在發(fā)表對精神病理學(xué)一般領(lǐng)域科學(xué)知識的前沿原創(chuàng)貢獻(xiàn)。盡管將重點(diǎn)放在采用實(shí)驗(yàn)方法來描述和理解精神病理學(xué)的出版研究，但該期刊也歡迎使用其他經(jīng)驗(yàn)方法（如相關(guān)設(shè)計(jì)，薈萃分析，流行病學(xué)和前瞻性方法）對知識作出重大貢獻(xiàn)的提交材料。和單案實(shí)驗(yàn)。理論和評論文章也涉及精神病理學(xué)的描述，病因和治療中的重要問題。有助于了解大多數(shù)精神病理學(xué)領(lǐng)域的文章將被考慮出版，包括基于焦慮的問題，抑郁和情緒障礙，精神分裂癥和精神病癥狀，藥物濫用和依賴，飲食失調(diào)，性和性別認(rèn)同問題，人格障礙，軀體形式障礙，分離經(jīng)歷，神經(jīng)障礙，兒童心理問題，學(xué)習(xí)，智力和發(fā)育障礙。已發(fā)表研究的參與者可能包括診斷為精神健康問題的個(gè)體，非臨床人群，人類模擬人群或非人類動(dòng)物。在傳統(tǒng)的實(shí)驗(yàn)性精神病理學(xué)精神中，特別歡迎來自非臨床人群的研究，這些研究有助于理解精神病理學(xué)的病因?qū)W。雖然該期刊的重點(diǎn)主要是與精神病理學(xué)相關(guān)的心理和認(rèn)知過程，但也將考慮研究精神病理學(xué)的生物學(xué)基礎(chǔ)的貢獻(xiàn)。

The Journal of Experimental Psychopathology is an e-journal created to publish cutting-edge original contributions to scientific knowledge in the general area of psychopathology. Although there will be an emphasis on publishing research which has adopted an experimental approach to describing and understanding psychopathology, the journal will also welcome submissions that make significant contributions to knowledge using other empirical methods such as correlational designs, meta-analyses, epidemiological and prospective approaches, and single-case experiments. Theoretical and review articles addressing significant issues in the description, aetiology, and treatment of psychopathologies are also welcome.Articles contributing to knowledge of most areas of psychopathology will be considered for publication, including anxiety-based problems, depression and mood disorders, schizophrenia and psychotic symptoms, substance abuse and dependency, eating disorders, sexual and gender identity problems, personality disorders, somatoform disorders, dissociative experiences, neurological disorders, childhood psychological problems, and learning, intellectual and developmental disabilities. Participants in published studies may include individuals with diagnosed mental health problems, non-clinical human populations, human analogue populations, or nonhuman animals. In the traditional spirit of experimental psychopathology, submissions from studies on non-clinical populations that make a contribution to understanding the aetiology of psychopathology will be especially welcomed. While the journal''s focus is primarily on the psychological and cognitive processes associated with psychopathology, contributions studying the biological substrates of psychopathology will also be considered.
