THE POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH: Current challenges for psychology
Synopsis
This work disseminates and reflects on the advances and challenges in research in psychology. It is the product of the interinstitutional work of students, graduates and research professors of the Interinstitutional Doctorate in Psychology, in which the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, the University of Colima, the University of Guadalajara, the University of Guanajuato, the Michoacana University of San Nicolás de Hidalgo and the Autonomous University of Nayarit, which recently joined, participate.
The work is divided into three parts: part I) Psychological research for the promotion and prevention of health, where psychological factors and processes involved in the preservation of health are analyzed, proposed and reflected upon, such as the prevention of chronic diseases (particularly diabetes), coping with illness situations and what comes after it (such as cancer), in addition to the factors associated with suicidal behavior, decision making, and reflections on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in university students; Part II) Social systems and psychological research, which covers current topics, such as social representations of COVID-19, changes in the use of social networks as a result of confinement due to the recent pandemic, stigma in severe mental health disorders, and topics related to the family system, such as family functionality and depressive symptoms, the role of the father in family history and violence in relationships; Part III) Reflections on the approaches of the psychologist in aspects of social relevance, covering theoretical, epistemological, ethical and training aspects of the psychologist in different fields of action: such as in forensic psychology, particularly in cases of child sexual abuse; in clinical psychology, particularly in psychopathy; and in economic psychology, the ethical commitment of the psychologist in caring for the environment.
Throughout these three parts, problems are presented that, although they are pertinent to the psychological discipline, contribute to the contributions of other disciplines to address priority social problems in our country, which are known, moreover, to be complex and require a transdisciplinary approach for greater impact, which is evident even in the same objectives set forth by the research funding agencies in Mexico, as explained by CONACYT in the Pronaces. The research presented here is original and pertinent, consistent with the priority themes at the national level and the Strategic National Programs (Pronaces) proposed by the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) in health, education, culture, human security and socio-ecological systems.
This work, in addition to seeking to reflect on the challenges that the discipline faces in its work, both in research and in intervention and contribution to solutions to national problems, allows to demonstrate the richness and achievements of inter-institutional work in training and research in the Inter-institutional Doctorate in Psychology, and encourages this type of work to strengthen the generation, application and transfer of knowledge in Mexico.
