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

Manuscripts should represent a significant advancement to knowledge and understanding of Latinx psychology and be primarily focused on U.S. populations. The Journal of Latinx Psychology generally does not publish research with populations outside of the United States. Visit the sample articles page to read published articles.

We also welcome proposals for special issues; please email the editoropens in new window for requirements and procedures.

Disclaimer: APA and the editors of the Journal of Latinx Psychology assume no responsibility for statements and opinions advanced by the authors of its articles.
