EDITORIAL INTEGRITY

PsychNewsDaily prioritizes accuracy, independence, and ethical reporting in all content. Our editorial process ensures that psychological concepts are presented accurately, scientific research is interpreted responsibly, and practical applications are grounded in evidence.

Statistical claims, research findings, diagnostic criteria, treatment efficacy rates, and professional credentials. Special scrutiny is applied to claims about psychological benefits, therapeutic outcomes, or behavioral change techniques.

We rely on peer-reviewed research, established psychological theories, licensed mental health professionals, recognized academic institutions, official psychological associations, and reputable health organizations for our fact-checking.

Contributors evaluate information sources for methodological soundness, sample size considerations, replication status, consensus among researchers, and potential biases in psychological studies cited.
