Welcome to Volume 3 of the International Journal of Stress Prevention and Wellbeing. This publication is an international peer reviewed journal and we invite contributions that focus upon aspects of the theory, research and practice of stress prevention, stress management, stress psychophysiology, health and wellbeing. If you are unsure if a paper or topic is suitable for the journal, the editors can provide initial guidance. Email us the title and abstract and we will endeavor to respond within 10 working days. We are also interested in conference reports and book reviews. However, do check with us first regarding the possible submission of conference reports and book reviews.

In the last volume we published papers on a range of topics including Anticipation and the cortisol awakening response within a dynamic psychosocial work environment (Campbell, Westbury, Davison, & Florida-James, 2018); Personality and resilience: Domains, facets, and non-linear relationships (Robertson, Leach, & Dawson, 2018); and Social Media Usage and Psychological Wellbeing among Indian Youth (Upadhayay, 2018).
