The main task for issue number 2 of volume 8 (2018) of Psychological Research Records, has centered on reaching out to renown scientists to conduct the reviews of the manuscripts received in the central office. The central interest of this quest by the editorial Committee of the magazine is to achieve rigorous, objective, and timely feedback to the researchers who submit their work. This issue, as has been the case in previous editions, puts together a series empirical articles of broad conceptual spectrum, clear relevant theorizing, rigorous methodology and accurate statistical analysis. Contributions can be divided into several major categories. To begin, there are a series of studies on different aspects of health with profound applied implications. An interesting paper on "healthy lifestyles in flood-affected young adults", another on "attitudes towards organ donation postmortem in adults of Xalapa and Cuernavaca" and a third dealing with the "Psycho physiological effects of diaphragmatic breathing and thermal stimulation on autonomic activity in cases of acute stress". A second set of papers are about basic processes, including comparative psychology. In these manuscripts, a paper deals with learning "relationship with monetary rewards discount magical beliefs", another deals with memory in the "effects of the orientation of endogenous and exogenous attention in context memory" " and representing comparative psychology is a study on the" effect of intake type binge on the preference for different concentrations of oil corn in rats ". A third area of interest in represented by a provocative set of empirical papers on personality and social phenomena. One discusses the effects of "motivation and personality in the choice of career in tourism and international business", a second is about the "differences in temperament according to socioeconomic status in Chilean children of 12 and 30 months", the third comes from the organizational area and focuses on the "beliefs of relational and transactional obligations in Mexican employees". A fourth manuscript deals with a current theme having to do with the effects of the digital age on the capabilities of humans who use these gadgets extensively in "intelligence in millennials and centennials". As in all the editions of the magazine, we owe a deep debt to researchers who trust Psychological Research Records with their valuable contributions to the understanding of human behavior. At the same time, an acknowledgement goes out to reviewers of submitted papers, who with their comments, suggestions and evaluations ensure the quality of the published work.
