The Journal of Latinx Psychology is the official publication of the National Latinx Psychological Association and is dedicated to research, practice, advocacy, education, and policy within the Latinx psychology community.
Editor Lisa Flores, PhD, is committed to promoting and exploring the diversity within the Latina/o population with respect to national origin, generational status, gender, and sexual identity.
The journal fills a critical need for the field, given the tremendous growth in the Latinx population over the past few decades.
This population growth has not been matched by growth in economic opportunities, educational achievement, or health outcomes, and there remain many gaps in our understanding of these issues.
We are particularly interested in manuscripts that contribute to knowledge of Latinx psychology through research, methodological innovation, and inquiry; develop and advance theories pertinent to Latinas and Latinos; promote education and training of psychologists to work with Latinas and Latinos; address issues of social justice and advocacy in Latinx communities; promote the application of research and training to advancement of policy related to Latino individuals and communities; and use quantitative, qualitative, or mixed method approaches.
We encourage articles on topics such as:
- immigration and its impact
- health and wellness
- spirituality
- mental health issues
- Latinx identity
- multigenerational families
Articles may be full length (35 pages) or brief reports (no more than 20 pages). All submissions should reflect APA style and contain a public significance statement: a translational message for the general public’s better understanding of research.
Additional information about the journal, including guidance for authors, is available on the Journal of Latinx Psychology homepage.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically through our submission portalopens in new window to the attention of Editor Lisa Flores, PhD.
