Social Behavior and Personality is a monthly peer-reviewed academic journal covering social, developmental, and personality psychology with a strong focus on how these topics link with the areas of health, education and organizations.

The founding and current editor-in-chief is Robert A. C. Stewart (Society for Personality Research).

Authors have to cover part of the publications costs of their articles.
