Measurement Instruments for the Social Sciences (MISS) publishes a special collection of articles on the measurement of the push and pull factors of mental health. The collection of articles aims to provide a platform for the publication of new empirical evidence and methods that address these risk- and prevention-oriented factors of mental health in the context of the various social and political domains that are part of our society today.

We invite researchers to submit conceptual and empirical work related to the following topics:

• Individual-centred methods (e.g., surveys, questionnaires, interview guides, scales, etc.) to assess risk and prevention factors of mental health
• Psychometric studies on new measurement instruments targeted at the assessment of push and pull factors of mental health constructs
• Impact and measurement of present socio-political developments (e.g., increasing digitization of communication processes) that have a positive or negative impact on mental health
