Perceived appearance pressures from close social relationships and disinhibited eating
OBJECTIVE: Perceived sociocultural appearance pressures have been widely studied as predictors of body image and eating concerns. However, few studies have distinguished between pressures from mothers and fathers or examined their relative influence on these outcomes among young adults. Additionally, efforts to diversify body image research remain limited, often constrained by a focus on the West and East, neglecting regions such as South Asia. T…
With status comes responsibility
The current study investigated which causal beliefs for socioeconomic status (SES) attainment map onto endorsement of noblesse oblige ;(i.e. the belief that powerful others are obligated to give back). Noblesse oblige endorsement was positively associated with opportunity belief (i.e. opportunity drives SES attainment) but not merit belief (i.e. merit drives SES attainment) or chance belief (i.e. chance drives SES attainment) (Study 1; n = 562). …
Sense of Agency and Control, Self-Esteem, and Psychological Distress Among Undergraduate Students in the U.S. and China
Beliefs about oneself are closely related to one’s psychological distress, yet little is known about how different dimensions of self-perception interact to predict psychological distress and how these relationships vary across cultural contexts. This study examined cultural differences in the sense of agency and control, their associations with psychological distress, and the protective role of self-esteem among undergraduate students. The sampl…
Synergies and barriers
China’s construction industry has neglected sustainable development to a certain extent while developing rapidly. The current research on the sustainable development of the construction industry is relatively single-dimension and lacks multi-dimensional integration research. This paper integrates the five dimensions of Green, Opening, Sharing, Innovation, and Coordination, and addresses these issues by introducing an integrated framework combinin…
Cross-regional acculturative stress and mental well-being among undergraduate students in China
The transition to new environments often induces stress, but relatively few studies have explored the acculturative stress among college students relocating within the same country. This study adapted and validated the Riverside Acculturation Stress Inventory to assess cross-regional acculturative stress (CAS) among college students in China. We first used confirmatory factor analysis to examine the factor structure of the CAS scale. We then dete…
Decoding the sensory-behavioral pathway to wellness
Urban parks are increasingly recognized as key tourist and recreational environments that significantly enhance visitor experiences, satisfaction, and overall health. However, the complex interplay between multisensory stimuli, visitor behavior, and health outcomes remains poorly understood, limiting effective tourism and park management practices. This study introduces an innovative Public Participatory Geographic Information System (PPGIS)-base…
The roles of self-, mother-, and stranger-determined choice in memory in 5- to 10-year-old Chinese children
The role of acculturative stress and self-construal in maladaptive eating behaviors among female young adults in diverse college settings
The increasing cultural diversity in the United States means more college students identify with racial and ethnic minority backgrounds and may experience acculturative stress. Emerging research has found an association between acculturative stress and maladaptive eating. However, these studies rarely consider other theoretical factors or confounders, and individual differences. Thus, the unique contribution of acculturative stress and the genera…
Paler Is not Prettier
Although racial preferences in dating are often studied, colorism receives less attention. In addition, most research on colorism within the United States has focused on Blacks and Latinxs. Therefore, we examined the role of colorism in attraction among single Asian Americans ( N = 262) through speed-dating. Participants reported their racial/ethnic preferences in dating and participated in speed-dating, which yielded their revealed preferences f…

Superior pitch identification ability revealed by cortical complexity measures in nonmusicians
Previous research has investigated the brain structure of musicians with absolute pitch (AP); however, pitch identification (PI) ability also exists in nonmusicians. The current study examined the relationship between PI ability and cortical complexity in nonmusicians using fractal dimensionality, a relatively novel way to analyze morphological patterns of cortical organization. Results showed that compared to nonmusicians with average PI ability…
Portrait Photography as a Visual Repository of Vernacular Memory
In recent years, there has been a notable surge in archaeological research spanning the spectrum from historical archaeology to contemporary archaeology, with a particular focus on the multifaceted theme of human identity. This theme shares a profound resonance with the role of portrait photography as a medium for memory preservation, intricately weaving together the threads of identity, memory, and culture in our comprehension of both historical…
Application of Metaphors for Integrating New Meanings of Cultural Art Features into Modern Products
Metaphor is a valuable tool for facilitating innovative product design. Metaphor facilitates designers' comprehension of design concepts by illustrating comparisons with their existing knowledge. Limited research exists on how metaphors transform cultural art characteristics into product designs to convey consumers' understanding of value meanings from cultural art features in modern products. To address this, a conceptual framework was developed…
Superior pitch identification ability is associated with better mental rotation performance
Musicians with absolute pitch ability show better spatial ability, but little is known about whether non-musicians’ pitch identification (PI) ability is associated with their spatial ability. In the present study, a PI test, two mental rotation (MR) tests (Three-Dimensional Mental Rotation [3DMR] and Spatial Relationship [SR]), and eight executive function (EF) tests were administered to a large sample ( N = 525) of Chinese college students who w…

Perceived family relationships and depressed mood in early and late adolescence
This study examined perceived parent-adolescent relationships and depressed mood among 173 early adolescents and 297 college students, all of European or Asian American background. Ethnic differences in depressed mood, not evident in the early adolescent sample, emerged in the college sample, with Asian Americans reporting more symptoms. Ethnic differences in depressed mood were reduced to nonsignificant when quality of parent-adolescent relation…
The Nature of Adolescents' Relationships with Their “Very Important” Nonparental Adults
As part of a larger program of research on the nature of adolescents' relationships with very important nonparental adults (hereafter referred to as “VIPs”), a community sample of 243 eleventh graders (mean age = 16.6 years) was surveyed, and a subgroup of 55 adolescents and their VIPs were interviewed about the nature and quality of their relationships. Results showed that (a) adolescent–VIP relationships were a normative component of adolescent…
A cross-cultural study of family and peer correlates of adolescent misconduct
Participants were 4 groups of early adolescents from middle-class backgrounds (European and Chinese Americans in southern California and Chinese in Taipei, Taiwan, and Beijing, China). The 591 adolescents (M age = 13.8 years) completed questionnaires about their involvement in misconduct and about family and peer characteristics. Mothers of a subsample of adolescents (n = 405) also completed a questionnaire about their relationships with their ad…
The Role of “Very Important” Nonparental Adults in Adolescent Development
The Reciprocal Relationships Among Parents’ Expectations, Adolescents’ Expectations, and Adolescents’ Achievement
Previous research has consistently demonstrated the importance of parents' expectations and adolescents' expectations on adolescents' academic achievement. Less is known, however, about the reciprocal relationships among these constructs. To address this issue, we analyzed two waves of data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) using longitudinal cross-lagged path models. The sample consisted of 14,376 students (51.1% f…

Adolescent Self-Esteem in Cross-Cultural Perspective
Theorists and researchers have raised the question of whether self-esteem has similar meanings and correlates in individualistic and collectivist cultures. This study examined the cross-cultural equivalence of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale in four countries and compared its association with parental warmth and acceptance and depressed mood. Participants were 11th graders in the United States ( n = 422), the Czech Republic ( n = 490), China ( n …
The Role of Important Non-Parental Adults (VIPs) in the Lives of Older Adolescents
Previous research has consistently documented the importance of VIPs (mentors or important non-parental adults) in the lives of adolescents. Little is known, however, about whether VIPs play the same important roles across ethnic groups and whether VIPs remain influential when adolescents are older and involved in romantic relationships. The present study compared VIPs of 355 Hispanic, Asian, and European American older adolescents (age range = 1…
Family Relationships and Adolescent Psychosocial Outcomes
This study investigated the role of parent–adolescent relationships in mediating the association between family‐related negative life events and adolescent depressive symptoms and problem behaviors among 1,696 eleventh graders from the United States ( n =201), China ( n =502), Korea ( n =497), and Czech Republic ( n =496). Results indicated that perceived parental involvement and parent–adolescent conflict mediated the link between family‐related…
Adolescent Problem Behavior and Depressed Mood
Family, Peer, and Individual Correlates of Sexual Experience Among Caucasian and Asian American Late Adolescents
This study explored ethnic and gender differences in sexual behavior and its correlates among 148 Caucasian American and 202 Asian American college students (mean age = 19.8 years). Among Asian Americans, differences in mean number of sexual partners were not associated with differences in generational status, ethnic subgroup, or level of acculturation as indicated by language usage at home. As expected, Caucasian Americans reported having had mo…
Familism Is Associated With Psychological Well-Being and Physical Health
Familism is a core Latino value that emphasizes close family relationships and prioritizing of family before the self. Familism has implications for well-being and health, but it is not clear whether these values are generally beneficial or beneficial under stress. We examined whether the associations of familism with well-being/health were consistent with a main effect or stress-buffering model in Latinos and non-Latinos. Latino ( n = 171), Euro…
The Perceived Social Contexts of Adolescents' Misconduct
This cross-cultural, ecologically framed study (Bronfenbrenner, 1989) examined relations between adolescents' involvement in misconduct and their perceptions of others' behavior and attitudes toward youths' misconduct (i.e., family members, close friends, school peers, and neighborhood adults). Participants were 16- to 17-year-olds in the Los Angeles area (n = 201), Seoul, Korea (n = 391), and Tianjin, China (n = 502). As anticipated, U.S. youths…

The sweetness of forbidden fruit
Past research on interracial dating has focused on demographic and adjustment factors while ignoring the traits most valued in romantic partners. We examined whether interracial and intraracial daters differ in the extent to which they possess various desirable attributes. In Study 1, undergraduates estimated their partners' ratings of them on 27 attributes. A factor analysis yielded attractiveness (e.g., physically attractive), cerebral (e.g., i…

Cultural dimensions as correlates of favoritism and the mediating role of trust
Purpose This study sought to examine the relation of cultural practices and values with favoritism and nepotism/cronyism. Additionally, this study's purpose was also to examine how trust mediates the relation between culture and favoritism. Design/methodology/approach Correlations were used for exploratory investigation into the bivariate relations between culture and favoritism and nepotism/cronyism across 97 cultures. Hierarchical linear regres…
Spatial Ability Explains the Male Advantage in Approximate Arithmetic
Previous research has shown that females consistently outperform males in exact arithmetic, perhaps due to the former's advantage in language processing. Much less is known about gender difference in approximate arithmetic. Given that approximate arithmetic is highly associated with visuospatial processing and there is a male advantage in visuospatial processing, we hypothesized that males would perform better than females in approximate arithmet…

A Cross‐Ethnic Study of Adolescents' Depressed Mood and the Erosion of Parental and Peer Warmth During the Transition to Young Adulthood
This 1‐year longitudinal study investigated the effects of adolescents' depressed mood on perceived parental and peer warmth during the transition to young adulthood. We hypothesized that ethnicity would moderate such effects. As part of a larger study, 511 adolescents (154 European, 205 Hispanic, and 152 Asian Americans) participated in this research. They were surveyed shortly before their high school graduation and again 1 year later. Analyses…
To save or lose? A cross‐national examination of the disease risk framing effect and the influence of collectivism
Using a large dataset from the COVIDiSTRESS Global Survey Consortium spanning 49 countries ( N = 102,830), we examined the robustness of Tversky and Kahneman's (1981) framing effect within each country using a variation of the classic Asian Disease Scenario. Results indicated that the framing effect —where respondents are more likely to take the safe option (i.e., a known number of lives saved or lost) than the risky option (i.e., a probability o…

Literacy Acquisition in Peru, Asia, and the United States
An important question in the study of literacy is the degree to which environmental conditions influence children's ability to learn to read. A comparison was made of the reading ability of schooled and nonschooled children in three locations in Peru: the city, the highlands, and the rain forest. Increased attendance resulted in improved reading ability, but the degree of improvement varied according to the environments in which the children resi…
Mathematics Achievement of Chinese, Japanese, and American Children
A decade of heightened emphasis in the United States on mathematics and science education has had little influence on academic achievement or parental attitudes. American elementary school children in 1990 lagged behind their Chinese and Japanese peers to as great a degree as they did in 1980. Comparison of the performance of elementary and secondary school students between 1980 and 1990 reveals a decline from first to eleventh grade in the relat…
