Journal of Psychology in Africa

期刊简介：Published by Tech Science Press (TSP) from 2025. Findings from psychological research in Africa and related regions need an inter-disciplinary forum for broad-based dissemination and utilization in the context of development. The Journal of Psychology in Africa provides such a forum. Its core mission is to advance psychological research for the social-cultural and health development in Africanist settings, inclusive of the African diaspora communities around the globe. While research that addresses African heritage realities and opportunities is particularly encouraged, the journal welcomes submissions from international settings addressing themes with potential for translational research in Africa culture settings. Contributions should attempt a synthesis of local and universal methodologies and applications, contributing to the wider body of knowledge in the applied psychological sciences. The Journal of Psychology in Africa publishes original empirical research articles, research reviews, conceptual development articles and thematic issues. Manuscripts can be regular research reports, brief reports, and those that address topical professional issues, including case analysis reports. Book reviews and special announcements are accepted for publication. Specifically, manuscripts with the following qualities are encouraged: 1) Combine quantitative and qualitative data, 2) Take a systematic qualitative or ethnographic approach, 3) Use an original and creative methodological approach, 4) Address an important but overlooked topic, 5) Present new theoretical or conceptual ideas; and 6) Present innovative context sensitive applications. Manuscript for publication consideration should show an awareness of the cultural context of the research questions asked, the measures used, the results obtained, and interpretations proposed. Finally, the papers should be practical, based on local experience, and applicable to crucial efforts in key areas of psychology for development in African cultural heritage and international settings.
