The Journal of Latinx Psychology publishes original scholarship on topics relevant to U.S.-based Latinx communities. We are particularly interested in manuscripts that present novel empirical research, innovative theoretical frameworks, or literature reviews that summarize and advance theories pertinent to Latinxs. We welcome a diverse range of methodological approaches (i.e., quantitative, qualitative, mixed method).

We encourage submission of manuscripts on topics such as:

  • immigration, migration, and adaptation processes
  • health, mental health, and wellness
  • religion and spirituality
  • Latinx youth and families
  • developmental processes, including identity issues
  • social justice, policy, and advocacy
  • education and training of psychologists
