Aims and Scopes

The "Psychology-Journal of the Higher School of Economics" is dedicated to advancing the field of psychology through rigorous research, innovative methodologies, and the development of psychological measurement instruments. The journal emphasizes the application of psychological theories to real-world problems, particularly in the context of Russian society.
  1. Psychological Measurement and Instrument Development:
    A core focus of the journal is the development, adaptation, and validation of psychological measurement instruments. This includes creating culturally relevant assessments and exploring their applicability in various contexts.
  2. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Psychology:
    The journal promotes interdisciplinary research that intersects with fields such as education, environmental psychology, and digitalization, providing insights into how psychological principles can inform and enhance these areas.
  3. Impact of Societal Changes on Psychological Constructs:
    Research often addresses how major societal changes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and digitalization, influence psychological well-being, social behavior, and identity, reflecting the journal's commitment to addressing contemporary issues.
  4. Cultural and Contextual Factors in Psychology:
    The journal places a strong emphasis on the role of cultural and contextual factors in shaping psychological phenomena, particularly within the Russian context, which allows for unique contributions to global psychological discourse.
  5. Applied Psychology and Real-World Applications:
    The journal seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice by publishing research that has practical implications for counseling, education, and public policy, thereby enhancing the relevance of psychological research.
The journal is currently witnessing several emerging themes that reflect the evolving landscape of psychological research. These themes are increasingly relevant to contemporary societal challenges and the integration of technology in psychological practice.
  1. Digitalization and Its Psychological Impacts:
    Recent publications are exploring the psychological effects of digitalization, particularly in the context of education and social interaction during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the relevance of technology in current psychological research.
  2. Environmental Psychology and Pro-Environmental Behavior:
    There is a growing trend towards investigating environmental psychology, particularly factors influencing pro-environmental behavior. This reflects an increasing awareness of the psychological dimensions of environmental issues.
  3. Psychological Resilience and Coping Mechanisms:
    Research focusing on resilience, particularly in the face of crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, is on the rise. This theme is critical for understanding how individuals and communities adapt to significant stressors.
  4. Integration of Neuroscience and Psychology:
    The journal is seeing an increase in studies that incorporate neuroscientific methods to explore psychological constructs, indicating a trend towards more interdisciplinary research that bridges psychology and neuroscience.
  5. Identity and Cultural Psychology:
    Emerging research on identity, particularly in multicultural contexts and during periods of societal change, is becoming more prevalent, reflecting the importance of understanding psychological constructs in diverse cultural settings.

Declining or Waning

While the journal continues to evolve, certain themes have shown a decline in prominence over recent years, indicating a shift in focus towards more contemporary issues and methodologies. The following areas appear to be waning in frequency.
  1. Traditional Psychometric Approaches:
    There is a noticeable decline in the publication of studies focused solely on traditional psychometric approaches without the integration of modern technology or innovative methodologies, suggesting a shift towards more dynamic assessment methods.
  2. Historical and Theoretical Discussions:
    Papers that engage primarily in historical or theoretical discussions without empirical research components are becoming less frequent, as the journal increasingly prioritizes studies with direct applicability and empirical validation.
  3. Generalized Studies of Personality Traits:
    Research that broadly examines personality traits without specific contextual applications or implications is decreasing, as the journal favors studies that connect personality to real-world outcomes or specific populations.
  4. Focus on Non-Clinical Populations:
    There has been a decline in studies exclusively focused on non-clinical populations. The journal is shifting towards research that addresses clinical issues or applies psychological principles to specific societal challenges.
