JOURNAL OF YOUTH AND ADOLESCENCE

《青年与青少年杂志》为心理学家、精神病学家、生物学家、犯罪学家、教育家和其他许多相关学科的专业人士提供了一个单一的、高水平的交流媒介，这些专业人士讨论的主题是青年与青少年。该期刊发表基于定量分析、理论论文和综合评论文章的论文。该杂志特别欢迎经验严谨的论文，认真对待政策影响。研究不一定是为了解决政策需要而设计的，但是手稿必须解决社会对青年和青春期的正式反应方式(例如通过法律、政策或规章)或非正式反应方式(例如通过父母、同龄人和社会机构)所产生的影响。

Journal of Youth and Adolescence provides a single, high-level medium of communication for psychologists, psychiatrists, biologists, criminologists, educators, and professionals in many other allied disciplines who address the subject of youth and adolescence. The journal publishes papers based on quantitative analyses, theoretical papers, and comprehensive review articles. The journal especially welcomes empirically rigorous papers that take policy implications seriously. Research need not have been designed to address policy needs, but manuscripts must address implications for the manner society formally (e.g., through laws, policies or regulations) or informally (e.g., through parents, peers, and social institutions) responds to the period of youth and adolescence.
