The APA has released an update to the Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms. This is vitally important information for researchers in the field as these are the standard terms used for organizing and finding resources through APA databases. Please find the updated list here, https://www.apa.org/pubs/databases/training/2019-thesaurus-update.pdf,  and please check here, https://www.apa.org/pubs/databases/training/thesaurus, to view a summary of the changes. Please feel free to contact me, Emily Deinert (edeinert@umd.edu), for any further information.
