This journal is published on behalf of the European Association of Experimental Social Psychology (EAESP). The overarching aim of the EAESP is straightforward: to promote excellence in European research in the field of Social Psychology.

To this end, the Association sets up a large variety of activities including a large general meeting every three years, a summer school, and joint activities with the SPSP, SPSSI, SESP and ISE.

It also creates publication outlets, such as the European Review of Social Psychology, for significant research contributions. As such it contributes to the scientific communication among European Social Psychologists as well as between Europe and Social Psychology in the world at large.
