In this study, we analyzed Spanish scientific publications on social psychology in order to detect their possible thematic relationship with the goals included in the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda. The work has been carried out in different phases: i) identification of publications in the Web of Science (WoS), ii) automated assignment of SDGs to psychology publications using "OSDG tool" and SCOPUS, iii) content analysis and comparison of results. The results obtained show that social psychology publications are related to some SDGs, the most frequent themes being those related to health and well-being (SDG 3). The proportion of publications related to this SDG can be estimated at between 24% and 38% of social psychology output. This indicates that there is still ample room for improvement in orienting research activity towards topics that respond to the demands of the 2030 Agenda. The diversity of results obtained depending on the tool used for assigning publications to SDGs can also be seen, which highlights the need to continue improving the reliability of technical resources as well as the usefulness of manual analyses and reviews to contrast and validate the results.
