Special Issue
The Journal of Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences (JSBHS), a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal sponsored by Walden University, invites original submissions for a special edition focused on Emotional Intelligence, Higher Education, and Positive Social Change.
This special issue seeks to explore the evolving role of emotional intelligence (EI) in social, behavioral, educational, and health contexts. As the global landscape grows increasingly complex, the ability to understand, manage, and leverage emotions has become a critical competency across disciplines, including psychology, education, healthcare, leadership, and community development.
We welcome manuscripts that advance scholarly understanding or present innovative applications of emotional intelligence in varied populations and professional settings. Interdisciplinary and international perspectives are strongly encouraged.
Submission Guidelines: Authors must submit original, unpublished work that aligns with the mission and scope of JSBHS. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed through a double-blind process. Submissions should adhere to APA 7th edition formatting guidelines and follow the journal’s detailed author instructions. •
