Introduction
Aims and Scopes

This includes studies that address the reliability, validity, and measurement invariance of instruments used in psychological research. - Application of Psychological Interventions:
The journal publishes research on the effectiveness of various psychological interventions, including acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and emotional regulation strategies. This research often explores their utility in clinical, educational, and organizational settings. - Developmental and Educational Psychology:
Research in this area examines psychological development across the lifespan, particularly in children and adolescents. The journal features studies on academic motivation, emotional intelligence, and the impact of parenting styles, aiming to inform educational practices and interventions. - Social and Emotional Well-being:

This includes studies on loneliness, anxiety, and emotional disorders. - Cross-Cultural Psychology and Contextual Factors:
Anales de Psicologia includes research that examines psychological constructs within different cultural contexts, highlighting how cultural, social, and environmental factors influence psychological processes and behaviors.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Mental Health:
There has been a notable increase in research addressing the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including studies on stress, anxiety, and coping mechanisms. This trend underscores the urgent need to understand and address mental health challenges arising from global crises. - Digital and Technological Influences on Psychology:
Emerging themes related to technology, such as the impact of social media on mental health and the effects of digital addiction, are increasingly prominent. This reflects a growing awareness of how technology shapes psychological well-being, particularly among younger populations. - Transdiagnostic Approaches to Emotional Disorders:
Research focusing on transdiagnostic factors that contribute to emotional disorders is gaining traction. This approach highlights the shared risk factors across different psychological conditions, promoting a more integrated understanding of mental health. - LGBTQ+ Perspectives and Mental Health:
The journal has increasingly published studies that explore the unique psychological experiences and challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. This trend indicates a commitment to inclusivity and the recognition of diverse experiences in psychological research. - Mindfulness and Acceptance-Based Interventions:
Research on the application of mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies has surged, reflecting a growing interest in these approaches as effective means for enhancing mental health and emotional regulation.
Declining or Waning
- Substance Use and Dependency:
Research focused specifically on substance use and dependency has decreased, potentially due to a broader focus on holistic mental health approaches rather than isolated issues of addiction. This shift may indicate a move towards understanding the interplay of various psychological factors affecting well-being. - Traditional Psychopathology Models:
There appears to be a waning interest in traditional models of psychopathology, with fewer studies exclusively dedicated to diagnosing mental disorders. Instead, there is a growing emphasis on transdiagnostic approaches that consider overlapping symptoms and shared risk factors across different disorders. - Gender Role Studies in Isolation:
While gender studies remain relevant, research that exclusively focuses on traditional gender roles without considering intersectionality or broader social constructs has diminished. This suggests a growing recognition of the complexity of gender as it relates to psychological research. - Quantitative Methods in Isolation:
The journal has seen a decline in studies that rely solely on quantitative methods without integrating qualitative insights. This may reflect a broader trend in psychology towards mixed-method approaches that capture the richness of human experience.
