Topic: Exercise Psychology Research in the Asia and South Pacific region
Exercise psychology is an interdisciplinary field that draws on knowledge from kinesiology and psychology, and has been recently paid much increased interests in its research and practices across difference culture and geographic location. It involves research on the behavioural, cognitive, and psychosocial antecedents and consequences of physical activity with a focus on the adoption and maintenance of physical activity and its effects on psychological well-being.
Since exercise psychology research was introduced in Asia, a large number of studies have been carried out in many countries in our region. However, most of these studies have been published in their own language or in the international English journals which are published in North America or European countries.
With increase in the interests in the development of exercise psychology in Asia, Asian-South Pacific Association of Sport Psychology (ASPASP) publishes the Asian Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology (AJSEP). AJSEP is calling for manuscript submissions for research conducted in Asia that exemplifies that nature of development earlier described. The value and timeliness of this special issue lies in the promotion of scholarship in exercise psychology in our region, while concurrently presenting a forum for the international sport and exercise psychology community to better understand such developments in Asia. This special issue accepts original research or reviews related to (but are not limited to) the following areas:
- Psychological antecedents of consequences of physical activity
- Behavioural change techniques to improve physical activity participation
- Psychosocial and environmental correlates of physical activity
- Theory-based physical activity transition
- Research that influences policies in sport and exercise psychology
- Community-based intervention research
Submission due date: June 30, 2021
Publication date: December 30, 2021
All manuscripts submitted will be initially screened by the editors and then sent out for blind peer review, if evaluated as appropriate for the special issue. If you have any inquiries regarding submitting a manuscript for this issue, please feel free to contact the editors:
