Abstracting and indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in:

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2015 impact factor of 1.946, ranking it in the top 15 of over 60 journals in the category "Psychology, Social".[1] As of 2020, it had an h5-index of 70, placing it second among journals which have the word "personality" in their titles.[2]

Scope

The journal covers individual differences, broadly conceived, with articles on social psychology, processes, personality, intelligence, specific facets of human nature such as creativity, and aggression as well as clinical, economic and HR applications. Articles often use techniques such as structural equation modeling and psychometric analysis of scales, or behavior genetic and evolutionary psychology approaches.

In 1985 the journal published "A revised version of the psychoticism scale", which described the revised version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. This paper has been cited over 1600 times.[3][4]

Retraction

On 17 June 2020 Elsevier announced it was retracting a 2012 article that J. Philippe Rushton and Donald Templer had published in Personality and Individual Differences.[5] The article falsely claimed that there was scientific evidence that skin color was related to aggression and sexuality in humans.[6]
