jpsp-theory-and-hypotheses

separate

Use when building the theoretical argument and deriving testable hypotheses for a Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP) manuscript, where theoretical innovation is the primary bar and each study in the package must test a specific derivation. Structures the theory; it does not invent constructs or results.

When to use

• building the theoretical argument
• deriving testable hypotheses
• turning a positioned gap into a precise theoretical account
• deriving hypotheses that map onto specific studies
• addressing reviewer questions on novelty, mechanism, or generativity
• structuring the theory for JPSP

When not to use

• inventing constructs
• inventing results
• designing the studies themselves
• data analysis
