Australian Journal of Psychology

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on psychological phenomena in various populations, including adults, college students, primary school students, and specific professional groups like nurses and military personnel. Studies investigate topics such as mental health outcomes (depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation), cognitive processes (attention, self-control, rumination), social behaviors (phubbing, cyber-victimization), and the effectiveness of interventions and support systems (online social support, simulated practicums, AI for mental health). The journal also explores the impact of personal characteristics (personality traits, resilience, character strengths) and life experiences (adverse childhood experiences, miscarriages of justice, workplace harassment) on psychological well-being. Several articles focus on Australian contexts, examining issues related to bariatric surgery support, professional psychology training, mental health support preferences, and Indigenous perspectives on well-being and parenting.
