Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of socio-emotional skills, such as the recognition, expression, and regulation of emotions, as well as the development of empathy, is a cross-cutting issue approached from different perspectives, including the educational, psychological, neuroscientific, and social domains. The consequences of a lack of training in these skills can lead to problems in learning, interpersonal relationships, and mental health.
Currently, thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, new technologies are available that address this issue from a more personalized perspective, offering more effective feedback. On the other hand, neuroscientific techniques allow us to delve into the neural bases of emotions and the cognitive mechanisms that regulate behavior.
We encourage the submission of research on social cognition and the development of socio-emotional skills using various methods, such as behavioral, experimental, neuroscientific, and/or artificial intelligence, as well as more traditional techniques, such as the application of questionnaires or qualitative methods.
Contributions can be submitted as research articles, articles on the development of technology, literature reviews, or intervention strategies to improve emotion-related skills. Socio-emotional skills are crucial for facing challenges, building healthy relationships, and promoting well-being throughout life.
