International Conference on Emerging Trends in Psychosocial Wellbeing (ETPW)

This special issue of the Indian Journal of Psychological Science presents a diverse collection of

articles contributed by scholars from Namibia, other parts of Africa, and various regions across the

globe. The contributions come from professionals, researchers, practitioners, R&D organizations,

academic institutions, industry, and government departments worldwide.

All articles included in this issue were accepted and presented at the International Conference on

Emerging Trends in Psychosocial Wellbeing (ETPW), organized by the Department of Psychology

and Social Work, Faculty of Health Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, University of Namibia

(UNAM). The conference was held from October 21–23, 2025, at UNAM, Windhoek, Namibia.

Each submission underwent a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. Papers were reviewed by at

least two independent reviewers and members of the program committee, followed by further

evaluation by an editorial member of the journal.

The Indian Journal of Psychological Science has increasingly attracted interest from scholars beyond

India, which is reflected in the substantial number of international contributions featured in this

special issue.
