Bobby -- Generally, to confirm the *correct* ISSN for a serial published in the US (and not necessarily what the publisher uses, but what was assigned by the US ISSN Center), you can consult OCLC.  The US ISSN Center records 99.99% of their assignments in OCLC.  In the OCLC record, you can verify the fact that the US ISSN Center input the ISSN by the fact that 'nsdp' will appear in the 042 field.

In this case, it appears the US ISSN Center made the following assignments:

ISSN 1046-1310 (OCLC #18767012) - Current psychology
ISSN 0737-8262 (OCLC #9460062) - Current psychological research & reviews

And it not uncommon for the publisher of the journal to print an incorrect ISSN.  Publishers don't necessarily know they need to apply for a new ISSN when their serial title changes, some publishers think ISSN is like ISBN (one for every issue), some publishers think the ISSN is a publisher identifier (and use the same one on all their serials), etc.

Because I previously worked at the US ISSN Center, I can also tell you (from looking at the OCLC record) that a letter was sent to the publisher (at some point) informing them that they were printing an inccorect ISSN and informing them of the new ISSN.  Please feel free to contact the publisher with this information and if they have any questions, they can contact the US ISSN Center at issn@loc.gov
