Social Influence is a journal that provides an integrated focus for research into this important, dynamic, and multi-disciplinary field. Topics covered include: conformity, norms, social influence tactics such as norm of reciprocity, authority, scarcity, interpersonal influence, persuasion, power, advertising, mass media effects, political persuasion, propaganda, comparative influence, compliance, minority influence, influence in groups, cultic influence, social movements, social contagions, rumors, resistance to influence, influence across cultures, and the history of influence research. This journal should be of interest to social psychologists, political psychologists, consumer psychologists, organizational psychologists, sociologists, communication researchers, and anyone interested in any aspect of social influence.

The journal publishes mostly experimental research investigating aspects of social influence, although we will consider correlational studies, surveys, and meta-analyses. Although not a requirement, we strongly encourage authors to use behavioral dependent measures (e.g., petition signing, donations, voting, helping, etc.). The research published should advance theory and/or application. Social Influence desires short, reader-friendly manuscripts (i.e., there is a 5000 word limit and the authors should be aware of the cross-disciplinary nature of the journal and avoid jargon).
