Journal of Black Psychology is a peer-reviewed academic periodical concentrating on psychological research related to people of African descent and the African diaspora. The journal publishes empirical studies, theoretical analyses, and applied reports addressing identity, health, development, and sociocultural processes affecting African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Latinos, and continental African populations. Scholars affiliated with universities, research centers, professional associations, and community organizations contribute to dialogues that intersect with civil rights, public health initiatives, and cultural studies.
