Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Psychology Society & Education' focuses on the intersection of psychological research with educational practices and societal issues. It aims to explore various dimensions of psychological well-being, social dynamics, and educational methodologies that contribute to the understanding of human behavior in diverse contexts.
  1. Psychological Impact on Education:
    This area investigates how psychological principles and theories influence educational practices, student behavior, and academic success. It includes studies on emotional intelligence, motivation, and the psychological well-being of students and educators.
  2. Social Dynamics and Inclusion:
    Research in this scope examines the social factors that affect educational environments, such as diversity, social justice, and inclusion. It includes topics like bullying, parental involvement, and the impact of socioeconomic status on educational outcomes.
  3. Developmental Psychology in Educational Contexts:
    This includes research focused on the developmental aspects of psychology as they relate to education, such as adolescent development, learning disabilities, and the psychological needs of different age groups within educational settings.
  4. Technology and Psychological Well-Being:
    This scope looks at the effects of technology on psychological health and educational practices, including the impact of social media, internet use, and digital tools on students' mental health and academic performance.
  5. Cultural and Contextual Influences on Psychology:
    This area explores how cultural and contextual factors shape psychological outcomes in educational settings, including studies on ethnic diversity, cultural attitudes towards education, and the implications of globalization.
The journal has shown a dynamic evolution of its thematic focus, with certain areas gaining prominence in recent publications. These emerging themes reflect the changing landscape of psychological research and its applications in education and society.
  1. Economic Inequality and Social Perceptions:
    Recent publications increasingly address the psychological impacts of economic inequality, focusing on how perceptions of economic disparity influence social attitudes, stereotypes, and interactions among different groups.
  2. Impact of Technology on Youth Behavior:
    There is a growing trend in researching the psychological effects of technology on youth, including studies on social media, video gaming, and internet use, highlighting both risks and opportunities for engagement.
  3. Well-Being and Resilience in Adolescents:
    Emerging themes focus on factors that promote resilience and well-being in adolescents, particularly in the context of challenges like bullying, academic pressure, and socio-economic difficulties.
  4. Teacher Well-Being and Its Effects on Education:
    Research on teacher well-being is gaining traction, exploring how educator mental health impacts teaching effectiveness and student outcomes, reflecting a broader recognition of the importance of supporting educators.
  5. Cultural Competence and Social Justice in Education:
    There is an increasing emphasis on cultural competence and social justice in educational settings, with research focusing on how these factors influence educational practices and the experiences of marginalized groups.

Declining or Waning

While the journal has a broad range of topics, certain themes have become less prominent over recent years, reflecting shifts in societal interests and research priorities. These waning scopes indicate areas that may require renewed focus or adaptation to current trends.
  1. Traditional Bullying Dynamics:
    Research focused specifically on traditional bullying has seen a decline, possibly due to the increased focus on cyberbullying and the broader context of online interactions among youth.
  2. Physical Activity and Body Image:
    While once a significant focus, studies specifically linking physical activity to body image concerns are appearing less frequently, potentially overshadowed by more complex discussions around mental health and self-esteem.
  3. Parental Control Measures:
    There appears to be a waning interest in studies solely concentrating on parental control measures regarding technology use, as the discussion shifts towards understanding the broader implications of technology in family dynamics and youth development.
  4. Gender Differences in Developmental Issues:
    Research specifically examining gender differences in psychological development and educational outcomes is becoming less prevalent, as there is a growing recognition of the need for a more nuanced understanding that goes beyond binary classifications.
  5. Interventions for Learning Disabilities:
    The focus on specific interventions for learning disabilities is decreasing, possibly as the field moves towards more holistic approaches that address the broader context of educational support rather than isolated strategies.
