Focus and Scope
Psychological Research on Urban Society (PRoUSt) welcomes high-quality empirical and theoretical contributions to applied research related to the psychology of urban issues. We also accept review articles and replications of previous research. Articles may address any area of urban society, including urban mental health and well-being, education and child development, intergroup relations, acculturation, identity formation, urban social issues (e.g., poverty, traffic, crime, and violence), urban culture, employment, and organizational behavior in urban settings. Given the interdisciplinary nature of these topics, we encourage submissions from related fields.
PRoUSt’s readership includes both academics and practitioners. Thus, we suggest that all authors consider these diverse audiences when writing. Authors of theoretical or highly empirical studies are encouraged to discuss the practical implications of their findings, while those writing practice-oriented papers should clearly outline the theoretical framework guiding their work.
Topics covered in this journal include:
- Urban mental health and well-being
- Education and child development in urban society
- Intergroup relation, acculturation, and identity formation in urban contexts
- Urban social issues (e.g., poverty, traffic, crime, and violence)
