Familial ethnocultural and national socialization messages among Chinese international students
Psychotherapy with religious/spiritual Jewish clients
We used consensual qualitative research to analyze interviews with 11 religious/spiritual (R/S) Jewish therapists, each describing a successful and unsuccessful psychotherapy case with a R/S Jewish client. The R/S concerns addressed in these cases involved struggles with Jewish identity, relationships, and community. Therapists discussed Jewish laws and practices more in successful cases than in unsuccessful cases. They experienced R/S countertra…
Racial Oppression, Self-Efficacy, and Avoidance of Interpersonal Intimacy Among Queer Men of Color
Queer men of color face pervasive experiences of racism, both in their daily lives and in romantic and sexual contexts (i.e., sexual racism), which carry deleterious effects on their psychological and behavioral well-being. Nevertheless, no studies have examined how racial oppression may impact experiences of interpersonal intimacy among this under-researched community. Grounded in the multidimensional racism-related stress model and intersection…
Gendered Racial Socialization Scale for Asian American women
Findings indicate that this scale can be used for researchers, clinicians, and families to better understand the gendered racial messages that Asian American women receive while growing up and their impact on psychological well-being. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
When Cultural Values Clash With Leadership Stereotypes
Asian immigrant psychologists may encounter unique challenges with leadership development and opportunities due to racial stereotypes, acculturation processes, and culturally bound implicit leadership prototypes, resulting in disproportionate underrepresentation in leadership roles in the United States. The present study explored the success and challenge stories of Asian immigrant psychologists in pursuit of their leadership development. Semi-st…
Racial socialization, resistance against racism, ethnic identity, and Latinx adults’ racialized dating preferences
Experiences of racial discrimination, critical consciousness, and mental health among Asian Americans
Does parental racial socialization protect Black youth from the impact of racism on problematic substance use over the long term
Our study suggests the promise of parental racial socialization messages about racial barriers to prevent and reduce the risk of problematic substance use. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Maintenance of heritage culture, internalized racism, and family conflict on self-esteem among Asian Americans
2.21). A path analysis revealed that when controlling for participant age, gender, and generational status, greater internalized racism and mothers' maintenance of heritage culture messages were linked to greater intergenerational family conflict with mothers and, in turn, lower self-esteem. In addition, internalized racism and greater perceived maintenance of heritage culture from fathers were positively related to intergenerational family confl…
Women’s Microaggressions Scale (WoMenS)
Sexism is pervasive but often manifests as microaggressions against women, which are subtle, covert forms of gender discrimination. Thus, we developed the Women’s Microaggressions Scale (WoMenS) based on an existing theoretical taxonomy and content analysis of social media data. Two separate studies were conducted for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). EFA supported an eight-factor, correlated structure and …
Secondary traumatic stress, financial stress, and the role of coping in understanding Southeast Asian American mental health
Asian American mental health help-seeking
A qualitative study of Asian American adolescents’ experiences of support during the Covid-19 and racism syndemic
Asian Americans’ childhood emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and opioid use
Asian Americans are highly underrepresented in opioid use research, despite recent studies demonstrating the presence of opioid use behaviors in Asian Americans and distinct negative outcomes of opioid use among Asian Americans in comparison to White adults. Emotional abuse and emotional neglect are important risk factors that may impact opioid use. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate (a) the associations between childhood emotiona…
Love isn’t colorblind
Past studies indicate that sociocultural factors may affect who Asian American adults wish to date. To expand upon this burgeoning field of research, the present study examined how internalized racism and resistance and empowerment against racism are associated with Asian American men’s preferences to date four different racial groups of women: Asian women, Black women, Latina women, and White women. The study included a sample of 244 Asian Ameri…
Family rejection and LGBTQ+ Asian Americans’ psychological distress and disordered eating
Results indicate the importance of considering conflicts in allegiances, family shame, and the interpersonal dynamics of LGBTQ+ Asian Americans in understanding experiences of psychological distress and disordered eating. Implications are drawn for further research, clinical work, and broader efforts addressing the larger sociocultural environment that encourages family rejection of LGBTQ+ identity. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rig…
Asian American Women’s Racial Dating Preferences
Asian American women’s racialized dating choices have drawn widespread attention both in academic and public spheres. However, little empirical research has examined racially relevant sociocultural factors that may affect this population’s dating and physical attraction preferences. To further understand racialized desire among this underrepresented population, the present study examined the extent to which three sociocultural factors (i.e., inte…
Racism, Attachment Styles, and Mental Health among Asian American Adolescents
Theory suggests that a secure base can moderate the effects of racism on mental health outcomes among people of Color (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2022). Thus, the current study tested this hypothesis with a sample of 301 Asian American adolescents who completed a 25-minute online survey. Two hierarchical multiple regression models examined whether secure, anxious, and avoidant attachment with mothers and fathers moderated the link between racism and me…
Fostering Asian American Emerging Adults’ Advocacy Against Anti-Black Racism Through Digital Storytelling
We tested whether a digital storytelling video on anti-Black racism could improve empathic reactions to anti-Black racism and decrease fear of Black individuals (FBI) among Asian American emerging adults, and whether these changes were associated with greater anti-racism advocacy intentions. Asian American emerging adults ( Mage = 19.92; N = 205) were randomly assigned to view either storytelling or informational online videos. Data was collected…
The relationship between mother and father racial‐ethnic socialization profiles and family cohesion and sociopolitical values among Asian American adolescents
INTRODUCTION: Although research on racial-ethnic socialization with Asian American families examines academic and psychological outcomes, less is known about whether messages from mothers and fathers are related to their adolescent's Asian American sociopolitical values and family cohesion. METHODS: = 16.83; standard deviation = 1.15). RESULTS: Using latent profile analysis, we found that there were three socialization profiles for mothers (integ…
Asian American Men’s Gendered Racial Socialization and Fragmented Masculinity
We investigated the messages, ideals, and critical experiences that constitute gendered racial socialization for Asian American men (AAM) throughout their development. We employed interpretive phenomenology to analyze interview data from 15 sociodemographically diverse AAM. We identified seven themes: (a) intergenerational parental ideologies, (b) geographic and neighborhood influences, (c) multilevel gendered racism, (d) silencing of gendered ra…
Covid-19 Racism, Internalized Racism, and Psychological Outcomes Among East Asians/East Asian Americans
The present study investigated the psychological effects of racism on East Asians and East Asian Americans (EAEAAs) living in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic using a mixed-methods approach. First, using an autoregressive cross-lagged panel analysis, we investigated the relations between COVID-19 racism, internalized racism, psychological distress, and social isolation among EAEAAs. We then examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandem…
Profiles of Racial Socialization Messages from Mothers and Fathers and The Colorblind and Anti-Black Attitudes of Asian American Adolescents
The Talk” Tells the Story
Black youth overwhelmingly experience racial discrimination (RD). Racial socialization (RS), or racial communication between families, mitigates RD stress by expanding youth coping strategies. Although most Black parents currently discuss racial content with their children, less is known about this RS quality. The burgeoning construct of RS competency, or the skills, confidence, and stress of RS transmission, explores these emotion-focused approa…
Cultural and Universal Parenting, Ethnic Identity, and Internalizing Symptoms Among African American Adolescents
The present study tested a path model that addressed two questions regarding the connection between one aspect of racial socialization (cultural pride reinforcement), communication between mothers and their adolescent children, adolescent ethnic identity, and mental health. First, we tested whether quality of communication moderated the relationship between cultural pride reinforcement and ethnic identity affirmation and anxiety/depressive/withdr…
Profiles of ethnic‐racial socialization from family, school, neighborhood, and the Internet
Given that ecological models of development highlight the interacting influences of multiple environments, further research is needed that explores ethnic-racial socialization from multiple contexts. The current study explores how families, schools, neighborhoods, and the Internet jointly impact academic outcomes, critical consciousness, and psychological well-being in adolescents, both through socialization messages and experiences with racial d…

Observed dyadic racial socialization disrupts the association between frequent discriminatory experiences and emotional reactivity among Black adolescents
Understanding the underlying mechanisms by which racism degrades mental health and the factors that disrupt these mechanisms is paramount. Black adolescents (M age = 15.5) and their mothers (M age = 44) were observed discussing a hypothetical discriminatory situation and surveyed about their discriminatory experiences (N = 110). Results indicated that adolescents' submissive emotional reactivity (e.g., sadness, embarrassment) in direct response t…

Factor structure and measurement invariance of the Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire-Community Version Brief
The Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire-Community Version Brief (PEDQ-CVB) is a widely used brief multidimensional measure of general racial discrimination for both students and community populations. We evaluated the factor structure and measurement equivalency of the PEDQ-CVB across diverse racial/ethnic and gender groups. The groups in the current study were Black (N = 306), Asian (N = 310), Latinx (N = 163), multiracial (N = 108), w…
