The Cultural Ecology of Gun Violence
Gun violence and related risk factors differ for African American and European Americans. However, there may be overlap in the psychosocial and contextual factors with respect to cultural processes related to gun violence in Black and White communities. The purpose of this article is to compare the culture of honor perspective associated with rural and suburban gun violence of European American males in the southern region to the code of the stre…

Interventions and policies to eliminate disparities in cardiovascular health for the U.S. Black population must address internal and external sources of racism by ethnicity and nativity
Stereotype Threat and Psychosocial Outcomes Among African Americans
The massacre mentality and school rampage shootings in the United States
School rampage shootings in the United States are becoming a common occurrence. The purpose of this article is place school rampage shooting in a broader cultural context. Specifically, in this article, I introduce the concept of the “massacre mentality” as a cultural manifestation of western and southern U.S. values. The massacre mentality is a state of mind in which the individual feels justified in committing indiscriminate killings in defence…
Psychosocial Intervention and Clinical/Educational Outcomes for Students with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders
The Astor Transitions Program (ATP) was developed to assist youth with emotional and behavioral disorders moving into a new educational environment where the services would often be less integrated. A research/evaluation consultant was hired to conduct a program evaluation of the ATP. The study sample consists of the charts of 150 consecutive students admitted to ATP between April 2010 and March 2013. The following hypothesis was tested: the ATP …
Intersectionality of Ethnicity/Race and Gender in the Phenomenology of African American College Students’ Presenting Problems
Advances in stereotype threat research on African Americans
Effects of Africentric Socialization on Psychosocial Outcomes in Black Girls
African American social work scholars recommend rigorous research and evaluation of Africentric interventions as one approach to building culturally appropriate, evidence-based treatments for the Black community. Following this approach, this pilot study evaluates the Imani Rites of Passage program, a 15-week Africentric curriculum with 10 Black adolescent females (mean age = 12.40), comparing their pre- and post-intervention data to that of a no…
Sociocultural Theories, Academic Achievement, and African American Adolescents in a Multicultural Context

Whaley, La Tonya Noël, Sociocultural Theories, Academic Achievement, and African American Adolescents in a Multicultural Context: A Review of the Cultural Compatibility Perspective, The Journal of Negro Education, Vol. 81, No. 1, Special Focus: Adolescent Discipline, Cultural Compatibility, and Academic Achievement in Education (Winter 2012), pp. 25-38
Confluent paranoia and memory deficits in schizophrenia among African Americans
Whether or not there is a cultural dimension to paranoid symptom expression among African Americans has been debated for decades. A companion study has demonstrated the significance of culture as a moderator variable in African Americans expression of paranoia in terms of cognitive deficits among schizophrenics. Also, there is evidence that confluent paranoia or the interaction between culture and pathology yields significant correlations with ps…
Ethnic/Racial Differences in Depression among U.S. Primary Care Patients
Screening and detection are essential building blocks for prevention and early treatment of depression. Despite their critical role in early identification and treatment, primary care physicians fail to recognize depression in about half of their patients. Because depressed patients of color tend to seek treatment in primary care settings, the need for greater attention to, and understanding of, ethnic and racial disparities in general practition…
Academic achievement and behavioral health among Asian American and African American adolescents
Sociocultural theories, academic achievement, and African American adolescents in a multicultural context
Clinicians' Competence in Assessing Cultural Mistrust Among African American Psychiatric Patients
A two-stage culturally sensitive diagnostic procedure allows for the assessment of cultural factors in paranoid symptom expression among African Americans. The first stage eliminates clinician bias by ensuring that diagnosticians adhere to DSM criteria. The second stage removes cultural bias by having cultural experts (i.e., African American mental health professionals) give best-estimate diagnoses using the same symptom data along with cultural …
Effects of cultural themes in psychotic symptoms on the diagnosis of schizophrenia in African Americans
Cultural themes focusing on race-related issues and religiosity were identified via content analysis in the delusions and hallucinations of a sample of 118 African American psychiatric patients. The purpose of the study was to determine whether cultural themes in psychotic symptoms influence the diagnosis from different sources (i.e., chart, SCID, and best estimate) of schizophrenia for Black patients. It was hypothesized that the best estimate d…
Stereotype Threat Paradigm in Search of a Phenomenon
In a recent study, Kellow and Jones apply the stereotype threat paradigm to a sample of African American students attending an urban high school. The purpose of this commentary is to provide a conceptual and methodological critique of Kellow and Jones's study. Implications for the role of Black psychologists in evaluating research on African American populations are discussed
The Cultural/Racial Dimension of Psychotic Disorders in African American Patients
Studies of race differences in psychotic disorders frequently show greater severity among African Americans. An intraracial or cultural analysis of psychotic symptoms was conducted to better understand the racial disparities. Specifically, cultural/racial themes in the delusions and hallucinations of a sample of 156 African American psychiatric patients were examined via content analysis. Cultural/racial themes focusing on general racial issues a…
Patterns of missing data and the screening of African Americans for latent TB infection during state psychiatric hospital admissions
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate that evaluating patterns of missing purified protein derivative test data can help to identify gaps in the screening of African American psychiatric inpatients for latent tuberculosis infection. Design: The results of tuberculin skin tests were abstracted during chart reviews from patients' physical examination form after hospital admission. Two different approaches to missing test da…
Cultural competence and evidence-based practice in mental health services
The need for cultural competence and the need for evidence-based practice in mental health services are major issues in contemporary discourse, especially in the psychological treatment of people of color. Although these 2 paradigms are complementary in nature, there is little cross-fertilization in the psychological literature. The present article illustrates the complementary nature of these 2 paradigms. A main point of convergence is related t…
Behavioral Health in Multiracial Adolescents
The results support the hypothesis that multiracial Hispanic adolescents have more behavioral health problems than monoracial Hispanic adolescents. The second hypothesis--that multiracial Hispanic adolescents are more similar to multiracial non-Hispanic adolescents--was also supported. The implications of these findings for the classification of Hispanic adolescents in terms of ethnicity and race in relation to health behaviors are discussed
Racial/Ethnic Self-Labeling in Relation to Group Socialization and Identity in African-Descended Individuals
This study explored the relationship of racial/ethnic labels to racial socialization and racial identity in a sample of 123 college students of African descent. Logistic regression analyses revealed that individuals self-labeling as African American reported more racial socialization experiences emphasizing cultural survival than those who self-labeled as West Indian/Caribbean, African, or Black. The self-label Black was not associated with racia…
Relationship Status, Psychological Orientation, and Sexual Risk Taking in a Heterosexual African American College Sample
The present study examined relationship status, psychological orientation toward sexual risk taking, and other characteristics as potential correlates of risky sexual behavior in a sample of 223 heterosexual African American college students. Risky sexual behavior was investigated as a multinomial variable (i.e., abstinence, consistent condom use, inconsistent condom use, or noncondom use) to determine whether differentiation of levels of risky s…
Racial Self-Designation and Disorder in African American Psychiatric Patients
This study examined the relationship between racial self-designation and disorder in a sample of 156 African American psychiatric inpatients. It tested the hypothesis that self-identified African Americans have better mental health than those who adopt the label "Black." Patients underwent a multistage diagnostic procedure including a screening interview and a research interview. Subjective and objective measures of patients' mental health and so…
An Afrocentric Program as Primary Prevention for African American Youth
Ethnicity/Race, Paranoia, and Hospitalization for Mental Health Problems Among Men
Objectives. I tested the hypothesis that Black men with high levels of distrust (i.e., mild paranoia) are at greater risk of hospitalization for mental health problems than their White counterparts. Methods. Secondary analysis was conducted of data from a subsample of 180 men in an epidemiological study. Mental health hospitalization was the outcome and ethnicity/race, mild paranoia, and their interaction were main predictors in a logistic regres…
Cultural Mistrust and Mental Health Services for African Americans
The underutilization of mental health services by African Americans may be due, in part, to their cultural mistrust. The purpose of this article is twofold: (a) to conduct a meta-analysis of the correlations between cultural mistrust in African Americans and their attitudes and behaviors related to mental health services use, comparing them to the correlations between cultural mistrust and measures relevant to other psychosocial domains, and (b) …
Cultural mistrust
Although clinicians are encouraged to be more sensitive to cultural factors in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, as evidenced by the significant changes in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; American Psychiatric Association, 1994), little information is provided to help them determine which aspects of culture are important to the mental health of African Americans. This article discusses the importa…

A Comprehensive Test of the Health Belief Model in the Prediction of Condom Use among African American College Students
This study tested an expanded version of the Health Belief Model (HBM) in the prediction of condom use during vaginal intercourse among African American college students. Results from regression analyses indicated that only the core HBM explained a significant amount of variance in condom use. Perceived barriers and gender were the only significant predictors of condom use. Perceived barriers were found to mediate the correlation between gender a…
A Two-Stage Method for the Study of Cultural Bias in the Diagnosis of Schizophrenia in African Americans
Reasons for diagnostic bias in psychiatric evaluations of African Americans fall into two basic categories: clinician bias, which is the lack of adherence to diagnostic criteria during psychiatric evaluations, and cultural bias, which is true ethnic/racial differences in symptom expression being overlooked or misinterpreted by diagnosticians. The ideal method of studying cultural biases in the psychiatric diagnosis of African Americans is a two-s…

Multidimensional scaling analysis of paranoid symptoms in the context of depressive and psychotic disorders
The present study examined a continuum of paranoid symptoms in the context of depressive and psychotic disorders from a multidimensional perspective on psychopathology. Based on the self‐ratings of 404 community residents, 96 depressed patients, and 65 psychotic patients, similarities or dissimilarities among multiple measures of paranoia (i.e. mild, moderate, and severe types), along with 16 other psychiatric symptom scales taken from the Psychi…

Issues of validity in empirical tests of stereotype threat theory
Racism in the provision of mental health services
A social-cognitive analysis is proposed as a framework for delineating the process by which racial bias operates in the provision of mental health services. The concept of aversive racism is used to explain how the behavior and attitudes of white clinicians toward black patients can lead to differences by race in treatment and outcomes, despite lower levels of self-reported prejudice among individuals. Implications for research, practice, and pro…

Sociocultural differences in the developmental consequences of the use of physical discipline during childhood for African Americans
Given the diverse cultures that can shape parenting behavior, some basic assumptions regarding the links between parenting styles and developmental outcomes may not be universal. Although a positive correlation between the use of physical discipline (i.e., spanking) and disruptive disorders in children is found in studies of European American families, research on African American families has found a negative association or none at all. Moreover…
Cultural mistrust of white mental health clinicians among African Americans with severe mental illness
This study examined the association between cultural mistrust and beliefs about white mental health clinicians among African-American patients recently admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Self-report and clinician-rated measures of cultural mistrust predicted patients' beliefs about white mental health clinicians. Implications for mental health services to African Americans are discussed
