Journal Information
Psychological Inquiry is an international forum for the discussion of theory and meta-theory. The journal strives to publish articles that represent broad, provocative, and debatable theoretical ideas primarily in the areas of social psychology and personality. We discourage submission of purely empirical, applied, or review articles. Each issue typically includes a target article followed by peer commentaries and a response from the target author. Manuscripts for the target articles can be invited or submitted. Manuscripts for the commentaries are always invited. Authors for the commentaries are chosen by the editors with input from the target authors.

Yet the alternative versions generally have large conceptual gaps that cannot be filled without subtly reintroducing the idea of depleted energy resources, or at least resources of some sort. The traditional folk notion of willpower as a limited supply of energy that fuels effort and virtue has proven surprisingly durable, and if updated with new findings, it still forms the basis for a promising scientific account of human volition.

Folk wisdom has often credited corvids with an acute sense of smell [e.g., Gurney, 1992], but surprisingly little behavioral work has been done on them. Possibly this is because the species so far examined have been found to have relatively small olfactory lobes [relative olfactory bulb size
