I've been working on a few different qualitative research papers about positive subjective well-being. I'm just wondering if there are any journals or other materials that anyone knows of that would actually consider publishing an Undergrad's work.

Ask the professor who you are colloborating with what journals he/she typically submits work of this nature to. Journal publish quality work, doesnt matter who you are. However, he fact that it is qualitative will eliminate many prestigious journals or those with high impact ratings.

I agree with the above. Also, what journals are publishing qualitative work in that field/similar field? And what journals are the articles you're citing in the lit review sections of your papers published in? Those are great places to start.

I get most of my cited information from the ProQuest Psych database.

I use the qualitative research I have done in conjunction with multiple sources to create a sort of hybrid paper that is aimed at providing examples that back up the cited material of how treatment of mental illness has an effect in regard to subjective well-being.

I'm not familiar with specific journals that publish qualitative work, but if you do not find any journals I would recommend that you present your work at a psychology conference such as Western Psychological Association (WPA) or American Psychological Association (APA). I think presenting your work at a professional conference is the next best thing to being published in a scholarly journal. Such experiences are valuable when applying to graduate school 🙂
