Inter-minority Relations: Factors Shaping Cognitive and Affective Intergroup Attitudes between Asian and Black Americans
Rising anti-Asian racism and the recent police killings of unarmed Black people have called attention to how Asian and Black Americans experience racism and how they perceive one another. Using data from a recent national sample of Asian (n = 1078) and Black Americans (n = 367), we explored socio-demographic (demographic, socioeconomic, political, and immigration) as well as group-relevant predictors of intergroup attitudes between Asian and Blac…
Does Mindfulness Improve Intergroup Bias, Internalized Bias, and Anti-Bias Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis of the Evidence and Agenda for Future Research
Whereas mindfulness has been shown to enhance personal well-being, studies suggest it may also benefit intergroup dynamics. Using an integrative conceptual model, this meta-analysis examined associations between mindfulness and (a) different manifestations of bias (implicit/explicit attitudes, affect, behavior) directed toward (b) different bias targets (outgroup or ingroup, e.g., internalized bias), by (c) intergroup orientation (toward bias or …
Exploring Situational Factors for Female International Students and Their Satisfaction in Higher Education Using CB-SEM
While the topic of attracting and maintaining inbound international students has received much scholarly attention in higher education, attracting female international students has rarely been discussed. This study addresses the issue of attracting degree-seeking female international students. Based on the notion of situational factors and total quality management (TQM), we assumed both institutional design and students’ satisfaction are core con…
College Students’ Civic Engagement Efficacy and Their Implementing Effects in Selected STEM Programs
Previous studies on civic engagement have been reviewed in their contextual factors, for example, factors in organizational, pedagogical, and psychological domains, while little research has confirmed the structural linkage of related latent variables in this topic. This study intends to investigate college students’ civic engagement efficacy that might affect the entire sustainability of society in their later careers. We assumed students in Sci…
Mapping Anti-Asian Xenophobia: State-Level Variation in Implicit and Explicit Bias against Asian Americans across the United States
Using national data from Project Implicit, the authors examine state-level variations in implicit and explicit bias against Asian Americans held by non–Asian Americans ( n = 196,678) from 2018 to 2022. The authors also explore state-level sociodemographic correlates of both types of bias. The findings reveal considerable heterogeneity in implicit and explicit bias across states. Moreover, Republican and swing states had higher levels of implicit …
From racial awakening to collective action: Asian Americans’ pathways to activism and benevolent support during Covid-19
While anti-Asian discrimination was associated with both distress and engagement in collective action during the COVID-19 pandemic, group differences in mediational processes highlight the importance of disaggregating analyses to explore both similarities and differences in Asian Americans' responses to discrimination.

Disaggregating the data: Diversity of Covid-19 stressors, discrimination, and mental health among Asian American communities
Much of the public discourse as well as research regarding the negative impact of COVID-19-related anti-Asian discrimination has been conducted at the broad racial group level, yet data aggregation masks critical points of diversity among Asian Americans. We conducted an online survey of 620 Asian American adults in December 2020 and examined whether there were any demographic differences–including by ethnic subgroup and Chinese street race (bein…
Right Mindfulness in Teacher Education: Integrating Buddhist Teachings with Secular Mindfulness to Promote Racial Equity
Despite decades of reform efforts, disparities in schooling persist based on race, threatening the economic and social wellbeing of the United States. Why are there still significant opportunity gaps despite decades of reform efforts to curb inequities? For one, these efforts often overlook the internal habits of mind, or inner nature of inequity, and the ways in which educators may perpetuate racism through unexamined racial biases. Secular mind…
Inner tradition made visible: The interpersonal benefits and effects of meditation practice on close relationships
Reflections From Academic Mothers of Young Children on Social Work Research and Education
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound societal impact with unprecedented impact on women’s labor force participation, including among academic mothers. Yet, persistent gendered and racialized inequities in academia remain structurally unaddressed, including in social work. We believe that as social work educators we are well-positioned to develop an academic culture that helps us refocus on what matters most; redefine excellence in teaching, s…

This study investigates the global mobility of Ch…
Patterns of gender parity in the humanities and STEM programs: The Trajectory Under the Expanded Higher Education System
This study considers patterns of participation according to gender in post-mass higher education from the perspective of higher education expansion in Taiwan. Becker’s D coefficient (D) is used to detect the patterns of gender parity in a ‘critical mass’ field in higher education. The study compared participation in STEM and the humanities in terms of gender parity. ARIMA was used to build the best-fit model to project the future trends of D in b…
Discrimination as a frame-of-reference effect in overlapping friendship communities of ethnically diverse youth
We provide evidence for a frame-of-reference effect involving discrimination. Individuals' relative standing in their friendship communities with high group-level discrimination reliably predicted the individuals' well-being levels, regardless of ethnicity. The results highlight the importance of identifying overlapping friendship communities for understanding the dynamics of discrimination and well-being of ethnically diverse youth. (PsycINFO Da…
A Qualitative Study of “fa’a’amu” Kinship Care Experiences in Tahiti
“Fa'a'amu” is a type of adoption commonly found in French Polynesia involving open, informal adoption arrangements, in which the child maintains ties to the family of origin. Although the function that child circulation plays in Oceanic societies has been widely documented by anthropologists, the implications of fa'a'amu at the individual level have yet to be examined. To address this gap, an exploratory qualitative study was conducted to 1) exam…
