Recent events experienced during the pandemic have accentuated the need to promote mental health through strategies focusing on individual abilities and strengths. People use the psychological resources available to them, showing different coping styles and strategies, to face the adverse situations that threaten their wellbeing. This can facilitate the appearance of health problems or act as buffers. This Research Topic is intended to assemble contributions that inquire into those abilities, skills, aptitudes, and experiences that are positively oriented toward achieving the individual’s wellbeing and integral development.
This Research Topic aims to analyse the wide diversity of variables involved in improving health and wellbeing decision-making. It will enable new relationships to be identified, update theoretical models, or propose new models with a robust empirical basis. Thus, by updating knowledge and progressing in the understanding of the processes inherent in changing developmental environments, personal skills, resources, and strategies to be put into use to achieve balanced individual mental health.
We are especially interested in analysis from a positive perspective, identifying variables that could be operating as protectors and which can then be used to design intervention programs for improving wellbeing. In this special issue, we hope to be able to contribute to research in the general field of mental health and psychosocial wellbeing, open to both the general population and studies on more specific populations.
In this Research Topic, we welcome articles on high-quality original research contributing solid findings that widen current knowledge on the subject. Priority will be given to work presenting the results of data collection and statistical analysis, and theoretical reviews framed within a systematic methodology or meta-analysis, which stand out for the significance of their results, will also be considered. Those presenting an updated methodological framework as a starting point for future lines of research, specifically, proposals of theoretical models, development of evaluation instruments or intervention design programs, will be given special consideration.
Topics may include, but are by no means limited to:
· Risk behavior and protective factors for promoting mental health and healthy development
· New scenarios for development and acquisition of personal competences for mental health.
· Stress management as a coping strategy for positive development.
