Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Prosocial behaviors are closely related to other skills and behaviors, such as coping strategies. The use of productive and effective coping strategies when faced with issues such as school coexistence and deteriorating interpersonal relationships, which are currently occurring at a high rate in educational centers, is associated with more favorable results such as socio-emotional adaptation, a greater degree of overall/general adaptation, empathy, prosocial behavior, and psychological well-being.
The relationship between personal psychological factors such as well-being, prosociality, the emotional dimension (either in its positive aspects, such as empathy and emotional regulation, or in its negative aspects, such as depression and anxiety), and the use of coping strategies must be addressed. Coping strategies, emotional regulation, and prosocial behavior are relevant variables for the design of psychoeducational intervention programs that promote effective coping strategies education in different contexts for adequate emotional adjustment, as well as to avoid aggression and violence. Research has also demonstrated the importance of prosocial behavior and the practical use of coping strategies in terms of promoting academic achievement.
This Special Issue invites you to submit empirical research or review articles on emotion-focused coping and its relationship with prosocial behavior, quality of life, and psychological well-being at different developmental stages. Articles that more generally address coping with daily stress, emotional regulation, education and promotion of empathy, and the development of prosocial behavior and solidarity actions in different educational, social, professional, and health-related contexts, are also encouraged.
