Subjects, designs, and generalizations in the Journal of Counseling Psychology: A comment on Scherman and Doan.

Responds to A. Scherman and R. E. Doan's (see record 1985-16260-001) indication that the Journal of Counseling Psychology (JCP) is primarily concerned with academic environments. The present author, who is editor of JCP, underscores the journal's interest in increasing the variety of the papers published and suggests reasons for low submission rates of papers based on nonuniversity samples. It is also argued that the issue of what kinds of limitations authors should note concerning generalization is more complex than implied by Scherman and Doan.
