Quantitative methodologies are appearing less frequently as the journal pivots towards qualitative and narrative approaches that allow for deeper exploration of emotional experiences. - Generic Community Studies:
Research that broadly examines community emotions without specific contextualization or depth is becoming less common, as the journal seeks more nuanced and context-rich explorations. - Solely Theoretical Discussions:
There has been a reduction in purely theoretical articles that do not engage with empirical data or case studies, as there is a stronger emphasis on research that incorporates lived experiences and practical implications.
