Published for The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI), the Journal of Social Issues (JSI) brings behavioral and social science theory, empirical evidence, and practice to bear on human and social problems. Each issue of the journal focuses on a single topic — recent issues, for example, have addressed poverty, housing and health; privacy as a social and psychological concern; youth and violence; and the impact of social class on education.

Katherine Stroebe and Soledad de Lemus are the authors of Resisting and Confronting Disadvantage: From Individual Coping to Cocietal Change, published by Wiley.
