Anxiety Related to Nonerotic Cognitive Distractions During Sexual Activity in Lesbian, Bisexual, and Heterosexual Women
The authors recruited 25 bisexual, 25 lesbian, and 25 heterosexual college women to determine whether group differences exist in anxiety related to nonerotic cognitive distractions during sexual activity, as well as in variables contributing to the prediction of anxiety. Participants completed questionnaires assessing anxiety related to nonerotic cognitive distractions during sexual activity, as well as additional variables (e.g., religiosity and…

Non-Erotic Cognitive Distractions During Sexual Activity in Sexual Minority and Heterosexual Young Adults
The effects of appearance-related commentary on body dissatisfaction, eating pathology, and body change behaviors in men
Appearance-related commentary can be positive or negative. Such commentary has been shown to negatively affect the mental health and well-being of women in a well-documented body of research. There is limited research on this topic pertaining to males. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of weight and shape based, appearance-related commentary in men. Results indicated that men who reported receiving positive commentary were …
Violated expectations and acculturative stress among U.S. Hispanic immigrants
Expectancy violation theory (EVT) was tested with 112 Hispanic immigrants living in the United States by determining whether discrepancies between their retrospectively recalled pre-migration expectations about life in the United States and their post-migration (actual) experiences in the United States would predict their levels of acculturative stress. Discrepancies were assessed in 4 domains (ability to communicate with English speakers, percei…
What college students really think about ethnic student organizations
In this study, the authors examined European, Hispanic, and African American college students' attitudes toward ethnic student organizations (ESOs). Based on data from Study 1 (N = 750), it was found that students across ethnic groups expressed uncertainty about whether ESOs were beneficial/necessary, fair/acceptable, and about their interest in joining an ESO. As a group, Hispanic and African American students did not believe that ESOs contribut…
A Comparison of Pro- and Anti-Nudity College Students on Acceptance of Self and of Culturally Diverse Others
This study examined if college students supportive of social nudity would differ from students opposed to social nudity on self-acceptance and acceptance of culturally diverse others. Using data from 384 participants, pro- and anti-nudity groups were formed based on students scoring in the upper (n=59) and lower (n=64) quartiles on a measure assessing attitudes toward social nudity. Hypotheses were partially supported. Results indicated that pro-…
Application of Feminist Therapy
Lesbian and gay (LG) parents face common and unique challenges compared to heterosexual parents. In addition to the typical challenges that all parents encounter while rearing children, LG parents often face myriad obstacles to having and rearing children in a society that struggles to accept alternative family structures. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of the empirical literature related to LG parenting and children of same-sex coupl…
Trinidadian and U.S. Citizens’ Attitudes Toward Domestic Violence and their Willingness to Intervene
In this study, Trinidadian ( n = 194) and U.S. ( n = 290) citizens were compared on their attitudes toward domestic violence (DV) as well as their willingness to intervene in five distinct DV contexts (when the DV involved an immediate family member, extended family member, a friend, neighbor, and a coworker). The results indicated that Trinidadians were modestly, albeit statistically significantly, more tolerant of DV compared to U.S. citizens—a…
A comparison of African American and white college students’ affective and attitudinal reactions to lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals
African American (n = 70) university students were compared with White students (n = 140) on their affective (homophobia) and attitudinal (homonegativity) reactions to lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals. The results initially suggested that African Americans had modestly higher homophobia and homonegativity scores than Whites. However, those ethnic differences vanished after controlling for frequency of church attendance, religious commitment…
Ethnic Identity, Self-Esteem, and Ethnocentrism
Social identity theory (SIT) proposes that the more strongly individuals identify with their group, the less favorable attitudes they hold toward dissimilar groups. In contrast, multicultural theory proposes that affirmation toward one's group--particularly with respect to ethnicity--should correspond with higher levels of acceptance toward dissimilar groups. These competing theories were examined with 486 non-Hispanic White, African American, an…
The Personality Inventory for Youth (PIY)-Spanish Version
The present study, using bilingual (English-Spanish) college freshmen as participants, evaluated the psychometric characteristics of the Personality Inventoryfor Youth (PIY) that was translated into Spanish. The scales and subscales of the PIY-Spanish Version demonstrated internal consistency and temporal stability estimates comparable to their English counterparts established in both the present sample of college freshmen and in the PIY normativ…
Suicide Ideation and Acculturation among Low Socioeconomic Status Mexican American Adolescents
The purpose of this study was to determine whether Mexican American adolescents' suicide ideation could be predicted from their acculturation levels. A nonclinical sample of 242 Mexican American eighth-grade students completed the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire-Junior High School version, the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans (modified version), the Beck Depression Inventory-Short Form, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. A stepw…
Mexican American Adolescents' Performance on the MMPI-A
The purpose of this study was to explore how Mexican American adolescents (N = 120) would perform on the MMPI-A given that Hispanic adolescents were seriously underrepresented in the national norming sample during the development of the MMPI-A. The participants completed the MMPI-A, a short demographic questionnaire, and a 5-item version of the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans. Results indicated that the present sample of Mexican …
Coping and Culture
Diaz-Guerrero hypothesized in 1967 that Anglo-Americans differed from Mexicans along a dimension of active versus passive coping styles. Specifically, he thought Anglo-Americans preferred to engage in other-modifications (active coping) whereas Mexicans preferred to engage in self-modifications (passive coping) in response to stressful events. In a test of Diaz-Guerrero's proposal the Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced was given to 108 A…
Anglo- and Hispanic-Americans' Performance on the Family Attitude Scale and its Implications for Improving Measurements of Acculturation
The present study examined whether the Family Attitude Scale, which measures family and socialization values, can be used to measure Hispanic-Americans' acculturation. This goal was in response to the criticism that many popular acculturation measures rely excessively on language preference and generation status from which one's acculturation is inferred instead of being assessed more specifically. Analysis indicated that 62 Anglo-Americans respo…
A Note on the Relationship between Acculturation and Socioeconomic Status
Studies investigating the acculturation of Hispanic-Americans often overlook socioeconomic status (SES) as an important correlate with acculturation. This study examined the relationship between acculturation and SES among a group of Mexican-American college students. A significant positive relationship was found between acculturation and SES even when SES was inferred via different indicators. The importance of accounting for SES when examining …
The Importance of Acculturation in Understanding Research with Hispanic-Americans
This article provides a brief review of empirical studies that have addressed the role of acculturation across a variety of psychosocial variables (ie., family socialization, social-support networks, alcoholism, and psychosocial adjustment). Special attention is given to two methodological weaknesses inherent across studies: the lack of a satisfactory scale to assess the complex construct of acculturation and the excessive reliance on self-report…
