Abstract

The present issue of JCDP offers an occasion for reflection on different nascent themes within the domain of psychology, encompassing youth civic engagement, the promotion of mental well-being across diverse life stages, and the influence of cultural contexts on psychological processes.The articles contained within this issue underscore the manner in which psychological research is undergoing a transformation to address contemporary challenges, including climate change, democratic participation, and social inclusion. The articles encompass a diverse array of subjects (socio-emotional learning, grief processing, eco-anxiety, and neurodivergent entrepreneurship) providing actionable insights for psychologists, educators, and policymakers.
