The Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity

JIRIRI

The Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity (JIRIRI) was founded by Professor Roxane de la Sablonnière, and is affiliated with the Université de Montréal. The journal was set up in 2007 and published its fourteenth volume in the winter of 2021. The JIRIRI is an international scientific journal published annually in April. Our mission is to offer undergraduate students a unique opportunity to fully experience the scientific method from the development of original ideas to their diffusion, through the process of peer reviewing. We also aims to promote the conception and expression of new theoretical ideas in the fields of identity, interpersonal and intergroup relations — ideas that could eventually become solid bases for large-scale studies. The JIRIRI publishes both theoretical and empirical articles. Thus, any undergraduate student in psychology or in related fields eager to share and refine their ideas or results pertaining to identity, interpersonal or intergroup relations is invited to submit a manuscript.
