We welcome work from any research tradition that offers new findings based on well-grounded research and that relates those findings to existing knowledge where appropriate. Submissions are invited that address questions such as (but by no means limited to):

Manuscripts should be prepared following guidelines of the American Psychological Association (4th ed.).

After acceptance both a hard copy and an electronic copy will be required. Deadline for the receipt of manuscripts is September 1, 2001. Authors are invited to discuss possible contributions with the Guest Editor prior to submission.
