Exploring Factors that Foster Social Justice Courage and Action Among Psychologists and Counselors
The mental health profession calls on counselors and psychologists to engage in social justice advocacy and charges psychology and counseling training programs to prepare future professionals for this critical work. Yet research has found that although there is an intent to do social action there is a disconnect between the intention and social activism. We propose that courage is an essential missing link that may diminish the gap between social…
Contemporary Refugees
The vast number of worldwide refugees has caused a global refugee crisis, political turmoil, and heightened anxiety in resettlement countries, stimulating xenophobia and religious tensions. We provide an overview of the four articles in this Major Contribution as a foundation for describing contemporary issues, challenges, and present an effective culturally responsive model of intervention to work with present-day refugees
Challenges in Promoting Race Dialogues in Psychology Training
Given today’s racial diversity and the ongoing racial tensions in our communities as a result of police shootings of unarmed Black men, terrorist acts in the United States and globally, and expressions of racism and xenophobia in the political arena, it is essential for psychologists to be culturally competent. Four diverse faculty members engaged in a self-study of their multicultural teaching practices to explore the challenges inherent in part…

Vietnamese Amerasians
Vietnamese Amerasians are children who were fathered by U.S. serviceman and civilians during the Vietnam War. Although several studies have been conducted with this population, none have addressed the issue of the biological American fathers and its effect on mental health. This study examines the cognitions and feelings of Vietnamese Amerasians (N = 169) towards their biological fathers and the effect of this on psychological distress and self-d…
A Comparison of Achievement and Aspirations of New Zealand Chinese and European Students
The study found significant differences in educational and occupational aspirations of New Zealand-born Chinese students and their European counterparts. These aspirations were consistent with parental expectations. Although the parental pressure motivated Chinese students to succeed, it appeared to have a negative effect on their perception of their abilities
Methodological Issues and Recommendations on Research With At-Risk Youth Across Cultures
This article examines methodological issues in conducting research with at-risk youth across cultures. A case study is used to illustrate key methodological issues and explores where conventional methodology may not be applicable to cross-cultural research with at-risk youth. Recommendations are made to address some of the methodological challenges
Dimensions of Distress
A brief 20-item measure of psychological distress, the GHQ20, was administered to three diverse ethnic groups, which included Chinese, Filipino, and Maori subjects. The FACTOREP method was employed to see if the previously reported four-factor structure of the GHQ20 could then be replicated. The four-factor structure was clearly replicated across the three groups. It is suggested that this measure may be useful for future cross-cultural studies i…
Mental health research on Asian Americans
Because of the dramatic increase in the ethnic diversity of Americans and the shrinking world in which international contacts are commonplace, our society is confronted by problems and issues associated with race/ethnic relations. In the fields of community psychology and community mental health, ethnic diversity has posed challenges and opportunities, as well as problems. How can we better understand the cultural, experiential, and psychological…
Help-seeking behavior among Southeast Asian refugees
This study examined the help-seeking behavior of Vietnamese, Cambodians, Lao, Hmong, and Chinese-Vietnamese refugees and compared the help-seeking patterns employed by these groups in their native country with those currently used after resettlement in the United States. There were three major findings: (1) intergroup differences in help-seeking behavior were found in Asia and also in the United States. In Asia, Vietnamese were more likely to uti…
A paradigm for culturally based care in ethnic minority populations
Health care practitioners are encouraged to "know the cultures" of the multicultural client population they are serving in the United States. The premise behind this injunction is that the use of culturally sensitive techniques that are tailored to the cultural background of the client would result in effective therapy and produce positive outcomes. However, as reflected in the plethora of terms used to describe the application of this knowledge,…
Predictors of psychological distress among southeast Asian refugees
The Relationship between Trauma and Financial and Physical Well-Being Among Cambodians in the United States
This study focused on the relationship between trauma and financial and physical well-being of Cambodian refugees in the United States. Trauma was defined by three variables: whether or not trauma had been experienced in Cambodia, the number of traumas experienced, and the number of years spent in refugee camps. It was hypothesized that these trauma variables would predict financial and physical health among Cambodians in the United States. A dis…
