Anxiety, Stress and Coping

Aims & Scope

Anxiety, Stress, & Coping deals with experimental and field studies of anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress exposure and its concomitant emotional states.

We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes during stressful and anxious states, as well as their links to coping and resilience.

Manuscripts should report novel theory-driven and clinically significant contributions.

While the journal is open to a diversity of articles, it is primarily interested in well-designed, methodologically sound research reports, theoretical papers, and interpretative literature reviews or meta-analyses.
