Journal Title：Motivation And Emotion

Motivation and Emotion publishes articles on human motivational and emotional phenomena that make theoretical advances by linking empirical findings to underlying processes. Submissions should focus on key problems in motivation and emotion, and, if using non-human participants, should contribute to theories concerning human behavior.  Articles should be explanatory rather than merely descriptive, providing the data necessary to understand the origins of motivation and emotion, to explicate why, how, and under what conditions motivational and emotional states change, and to document that these processes are important to human functioning.A range of methodological approaches are welcome, with methodological rigor as the key criterion.  Manuscripts that rely exclusively on self-report data are appropriate, but published articles tend to be those that rely on objective measures (e.g., behavioral observations, psychophysiological responses, reaction times, brain activity, and performance or achievement indicators) either singly or combination with self-report data.The journal generally does not publish scale development and validation articles.  However, it is open to articles that focus on the post-validation contribution that a new measure can make.  Scale development and validation work therefore may be submitted if it is used as a necessary prerequisite to follow-up studies that demonstrate the importance of the new scale in making a theoretical advance.

《動機與情感》發表有關人類動機和情感現象的文章，通過將實證研究結果與潛在過程聯系起來取得理論進展。投稿應關注動機和情感中的關鍵問題，如果使用非人類參與者，則應為有關人類行為的理論做出貢獻。文章應該是解釋性的而不是僅僅描述性的，提供理解動機和情感起源所需的數據，闡明動機和情感狀態發生變化的原因、方式和條件，并記錄這些過程對人類功能的重要性。歡迎采用各種方法，以方法嚴謹性為關鍵標準。完全依賴自我報告數據的稿件是合適的，但已發表的文章往往是那些依賴客觀指標（例如行為觀察、心理生理反應、反應時間、大腦活動和表現或成就指標）的文章，單獨使用或與自我報告數據結合使用。該期刊通常不發表量表開發和驗證文章。然而，它對那些關注新測量方法在驗證后所作貢獻的文章開放。因此，如果量表開發和驗證工作是后續研究的必要先決條件，可以提交這些工作，以證明新量表在理論進步中的重要性。

Motivation And Emotion創刊于1977年，由Springer Nature出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋Multiple全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數1.7，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
