Current Research in Psychology (CRP) is an open-access, international, peer-reviewed journal in psychology intended to provide open access high-quality, current research in all areas of psychology. CRP aims to strengthen global dialog within psychology, increase communication among different areas of psychology, and foster collaborative research between different cultural backgrounds. CRP publishes empirical studies, theoretical papers, and critical reviews through both biannual and special editions. While focusing primarily on immediate application, we encourage research that may have later application in essential areas for human health, peace, and performance.
