Reimagining Perinatal Mental Health Care Models
Introduction: Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are among the most common complications of pregnancy. Yet, identification, access, and intervention lag behind need, particularly for those from historically marginalized backgrounds. Although couples-based, cognitive behavioral approaches show promise, few interventions integrate community-engaged, partner-inclusive, and in-home approaches that bolster accessibility. Methodology: This ar…
The mediating effect of ethnic identity and cognitive and affective empathy on anxious and depressive symptoms in college students
Objective Anxiety and depression are prevalent among college students, with 34.9% reporting anxiety and 27% reporting depression. This study examined relationships among cognitive and affective components of empathy, ethnic identity, self-efficacy, anxiety, and depression. Participants Participants were 247 undergraduate students recruited from three U.S. universities. Method Structural equation modeling tested two models. The first model examine…
Longitudinal growth in college student self-efficacy and intercultural competence attenuated by anxiety/depression
Introduction A wide range of stakeholders, including prospective students, parents, accreditors, future employers, and the general public, require detailed data on college outcomes. However, there are many challenges to producing such complex research tracking change over time in the higher education setting. Methods This multi-method longitudinal study at three different colleges was grounded in Input-Environment-Output and Social Cognitive theo…
Developmental Pathways to Intercultural Competence in College Students
Despite travel restrictions, U.S. colleges invest in students’ global learning, to prepare graduates to thrive in today's interdependent society and world. This multi-method longitudinal study applies a constructive developmental and intersectional lens to examine the impact of travel and non-travel based global learning on intercultural competence and change in social diversity, also assessing the pathways that connect these variables. Our pilot…
Collective Self-Esteem and Well-Being Among College Students in Ghana
Collectivist values may influence one’s display of self-esteem. Past research has established an association between psychological well-being and individuals’ appraisal of their value as a member of a social group, self-evaluation as an individual, and perception of others’ evaluation of their group (collective self-esteem). This study examined collective self-esteem, specifically whether private and public collective self-esteem and member self-…
Pilot Testing a Brief Partner-Inclusive Hybrid Intervention for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders
The necessity of hybrid and more accessible options for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) has taken on increased urgency in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and its lasting impacts. In the New Family Wellness Project (NFWP), participants engage in a hybrid in-person and teletherapy six-session intervention for new parents early in their postpartum period. This small, phase 1 clinical research examined early outcomes of the NFWP's cogn…
College Students’ Reduced Cognitive Empathy and Increased Anxiety and Depression before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study explored college students' individual mental health (i.e., anxious and depressive symptoms, intrapersonal identity, and ethnic identity), as well as interpersonal mental health, as assessed by their affective connection to and care for others (i.e., cognitive empathy), exploring the role of culture and identity during the twin COVID-19 and racial justice pandemics of 2020. Comparing a longitudinal cohort of 147 undergraduate students' …
Childhood Abuse, Intrapersonal Strength, and Suicide Resilience in African American Females who Attempted Suicide
Exploring Cultural Identity, Personality, and Social Exposure Correlates to College Women's Intercultural Competence
College students' intercultural competence (ICC) has become a focus of many higher education institutions. Yet, more work can be done to explore what variables play a role in this complex and multifaceted process. The current study investigated the association between the outcomes (i.e., cognitive, intrapersonal, and interpersonal domains of ICC), cultural identity (i.e., majority group and international status), personality traits (i.e., extrave…
The culture of mentoring
The results of this preliminary study suggest that mentors' cultural identity and empathy may be linked with mentees' willingness to explore their own ethnic identities. We discuss the implications for mentoring programs that seek to build participants' ethnic identities and ethnocultural empathy. (PsycINFO Database Record
