教育社會心理學從心理學、社會學、教育學等學科中汲取營養，以幫助我們更好地理解教育中的人類行為。通過涵蓋廣泛的內容關注點(如課堂教學、學生文化和互動)、理論興趣(如群體動力學、社會學習理論)和研究方法(如比較研究、文獻綜述、小組研究)，該雜志填補了文獻的空白。文章對對教育問題感興趣的社會心理學家和使用或有興趣使用社會心理學方法的教育研究人員具有特別的價值。

Social Psychology of Education draws from the disciplines of psychology, sociology, and education in order to help us better understand human behavior in education. The journal fills a gap in the literature by covering a wide variety of content concerns (e.g., classroom instruction, student cultures and interactions), theoretical interests (e.g., group dynamics, social learning theory), and research methods (e.g., comparative research, literature reviews, panel studies). Articles are of particular value to social psychologists with an interest in educational matters and educational researchers who use or are interested in using a social psychological approach.
