Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the increase over the past few decades in the attention paid to women’s mental and emotional health, there remains a need to address how interpersonal, social, and community stressors have an impact on women’s daily lives and health. The context in which women live and their relationships will most likely influence their mental health and well-being.
Although women who are victims of negative social and community interactions may experience an increased prevalence of mental and emotional disorders, they may also increase their resilience and personal and community growth due to the coping mechanisms they use to confront stressful situations.
For this Special Issue, we welcome studies on the impact of relational and social stressors on the emotional and mental health of women and the psychological, physical, and social consequences of, and potential growth and resilience due to, suffering interpersonal or social violence. Topics of interest to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, gender violence, political violence, sexual exploitation and trafficking, sexual aggression, immigration, and economic deprivation and disadvantage. We welcome public health studies that address the situations that lead to enhancing or reducing the mental and emotional distress suffered by women. We encourage studies that employ cross-sectional, longitudinal, cross-culture, and mixed-model methods.
