Methods and Techniques in Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

There is an increasing need for highlighting the role of novel practical applications in all the domains of psychology including health, social, educational, technological, business, sport, and environmental psychology. Applied Psychology is in charge of borrowing theoretical frameworks and applying these concepts in experiments in order to address real-life problems.

In this context, statistical methods and assessment techniques on behavioral, social, cognitive, and psychophysiological data are of paramount importance to shed light on the complex phenomena that applied psychology has to deal with.

The present Special Issue in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is specifically devoted to collecting theoretical and empirical contributions on methods and analytics related to psychological research issues. Specifically, the present Special Issue is intended to address the following topics: (I) outdoor/indoor nature-based assessment and interventions; (II) assessment of fitness-to-drive: methods and techniques, (III) assessment and training in aging: new methods and analytics; (IV) cyberpsychology: assessment through virtual environments; (V) Bayesian approaches for applied psychology; (VII) neuropsychological assessment and interventions; and (VIII) objective measures in health, environmental, sport, and clinical psychology.

Empirical studies and meta-analytic reviews with a particular focus on assessment methods, replication studies, interventions, treatments, and best practices in applied psychology, in a broader sense, are particularly welcome.
