Psychology Blogs in India: An Evaluative Study

Abstract

Abstract: The current study aims to analyze psychology blogs in India according to their features and functions using a specifically created assessment checklist of 100 dichotomous questions divided into three main areas. Of the ten examined blogs, ePsychology, Dr. Neha Mehta, and Psychowellness Center were the three blogs that received the highest scores. The study reveals that overall, psychology blogs are promoting better mental health literacy in India and although all the blogs are well maintained and the administrators are updating the information regularly in time, the blogs should develop their mobile applications and social networking site features. This study’s findings will help psychology blog owners deliver appropriate information, features, and services, while also keeping the psychology fraternity informed. The findings will assist psychology blog owners in identifying and addressing gaps in their offerings to attract more readers.
