APA Journals

APA Journals The latest research and information from journals published by the American Psychological Association.

-APA began its long publishing history with the Proceedings of the American Psychology Association in 1892.

-APA demonstrated its dedication to the dissemination of knowledge in the 1920s with the purchase and launch of two journals, both of which are still leading journals today.

-The 1950s-1970s saw major expansion and specialization in the behavioral and social sciences worldwide; APA began p

ublishing many influential titles, including the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

-In 1990, APA created the Educational Publishing Foundation (EPF), a specialty imprint of the American Psychological Association Journals Program to provide innovative publishing services to psychology and the larger behavioral and social sciences community and to support the development of specialized or interdisciplinary journals. The imprint has unique resources and adaptability to support our society publishing partners and developing specialized or interdisciplinary journals.

-In 2001, the launch of PsycARTICLES®, APA’s full-text database, changed the way researchers access and interact with scholarly knowledge.

-Today, APA continues to grow and develop its influential publishing program, which now includes more than 75 top-quality journals in the behavioral and social sciences.

How does psychological well-being influence the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and disordered eating behaviors in U.S. Veterans? Findings from a study in Psychological Services indicate that Veterans with PTSD are more likely to experience eating disturbances, particularly related to body dissatisfaction. Importantly, higher levels of psychological well-being appear to mitigate these effects. These insights suggest that interventions aimed at enhancing psychological well-being could be beneficial in addressing eating disturbances among Veterans, highlighting the need for integrated mental health approaches that consider both trauma and eating behaviors.

An effective parenting strategy to improve children’s behavior and mental health is child–parent relationship therapy (CPRT), which trains parents in child-centered play therapy principles and procedures to conduct play sessions with their own children. In a recent article published in the International Journal of Play Therapy, Drs. Iris Yuen-Fan Chau and Jennifer Baggerly investigated the feasibility of using online CPRT to improve the behavior of Chinese children of low-income parents in Hong Kong.

Despite media portrayals to the contrary, immigrants to the United States tend to commit less crime than U.S.-born citizens. However, the factors underlying this at the individual level are not fully understood. To examine this, Eno Louden and colleagues conducted two complementary studies among individuals in the U.S.–México border region who were recently booked into jail. The authors conclude that policies limiting immigration (particularly from México) based on the idea that immigrants are prone to crime are misguided given their finding that jailed immigrants have low levels of criminal risk factors.

A recent study in American Psychologist marks the most comprehensive review of interventions in more than a decade and highlights the need for scalable, evidence-based solutions. Read the press release from the APA 🔗 https://bit.ly/49mdqAz

“Loneliness is now widely acknowledged as a serious public health concern linked to depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease and even early mortality,” said lead author Mathias Lasgaard, PhD. “Our findings provide strong evidence that interventions can make a difference, though their overall impact remains modest. Loneliness does not have a one-size-fits-all solution.”

"Why psychology needs to get serious about theory," an Article Spotlight featuring the Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology, contends that if psychology wants to be recognized as a genuinely human science, it must restore theory to its deeper function: clarifying what is true about human existence and addressing the moral implications of such claims.
