Bridging Social Contexts and Clinical Realities: Psychosocial Coping and Emotional Regulation in the Digital Era

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid integration of digital technologies into daily life has fundamentally altered how individuals form social bonds, regulate emotions, and cope with stressors. While digital platforms offer opportunities for connectivity, they also introduce complex psychological challenges, including problematic internet use, digital inequity, and new forms of social isolation. This Topic, "Bridging Social Contexts and Clinical Realities: Psychosocial Coping and Emotional Regulation in the Digital Era," invites high-quality research that explores these dynamics through a social–clinical lens.

We seek submissions that investigate the interplay between digital exposure and mental health outcomes across various demographics, particularly among youth and vulnerable populations. We are especially interested in evidence-based psychosocial interventions that promote resilience, enhance emotional regulation, and mitigate the negative impacts of the digital era. By bridging the gap between clinical psychology and emerging social-digital contexts, this collection aims to provide practitioners and researchers with actionable insights into future youth care and mental health policy. We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that contribute to this vital discourse.
