Journal Descriptions
The Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology is a well-established, peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes empirical, theoretical, and methodological work at the intersection of social psychology and community psychology. Launched in 1991, the journal aims to promote understanding of social behaviour and psychological processes within community settings and societal contexts. Its scope includes research on mental and physical health, social inclusion/exclusion, stress, crime and legal processes, family and caregiving dynamics, addictions, poverty and deprivation, community treatment environments, and innovative psychosocial interventions. Empirical studies often use quantitative and qualitative methods, and contributions may include review papers, practical innovations, brief practitioner reports, communications, and commentary. The journal encourages dialogue among researchers, practitioners, community workers, and lay members by presenting findings that are both scientifically rigorous and practically relevant. With a bimonthly (six issues per year) publication schedule, the journal serves an international readership of social psychologists, clinical psychologists, social workers, health professionals, policymakers, and community practitioners. It is indexed in major citation databases and recognized for advancing the application of psychological theory and methods to address real-world community problems and strengths, bridging scholarly research with community practice.
