Advances in Health Psychology: Theories, Methods and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Even before Matarazzo coined the term Health Psychology and Martin Seligman popularized the expression Positive Psychology, hundreds of studies conducted all over the world were undoubtedly related to these two broad topics. An enormous number of assessment and intervention instruments have been developed, adapted and tested in these fields. Individual and group behaviours in “normal” and challenging periods have been analysed, modified and predicted. Consequently, a considerable number of systematic literature reviews central to the work of health psychologists have been published. In this context, this Special Issue of EJIHPE aims to synthesise some of the remarkable advances in Health Psychology, from theoretical to applied aspects.

Considering the individual and social impacts of this research, we are honoured to invite you to submit papers to be presented in this Special Issue of EJIHPE. This Special Issue is guest-edited by Prof. Rute F. Meneses. Manuscripts should be submitted by 31 May 2022. See the Special Issue website for further details and submission instructions.

Submissions of complete manuscripts of original research on any of the topics of interest is strongly recommended. Papers submitted to this Special Issue of EJIHPE will undergo the standard peer-review procedure, and published papers will be indexed by the ESCI (Web of Science).
