Well-Being as a Function of LGBTQIA+ Campus Climate and Identity
Environmental contexts likely influence the extent to which LGBTQIA+ individuals, compared to their cisgender, heterosexual counterparts, experience poorer physical, mental, and behavioral health outcomes. This case study was conducted within a non-affirming, religiously affiliated university. A Qualtrics-hosted survey was completed by 596 students, of whom 63% identified as White, 37% as BIPOC, and 36% as LGBTQIA+. We examined perceptions of LGB…

Ignatian Spirituality and Career Development
Given the importance of career discernment in emerging adulthood, we evaluated an understudied career development approach for higher education students. Specifically, we tested the relationship between spiritual discernment exercises and sense of purpose and calling through the indirect effects of self-concept clarity, career decision self-efficacy, and knowledge of occupational information. Participants ( N = 127) were randomly assigned to one …
The Self-Efficacy for Sociocultural Adaptation Scale (Sescas)
Adjustment to the interpersonal and environmental contexts of a host country is critical for sojourners. Founded in social cognitive career theory, the Self-Efficacy for Sociocultural Adaptation Scale (SESCAS) is a multidimensional scale that assesses self-efficacy for three types of tasks (affective, behavioral, cognitive) in two cultural contexts (environmental, interpersonal). We conducted item-total correlations, confirmatory factor analyses,…
Ready or Not Here I Come
Participation in education abroad is frequently considered to be a high-impact educational practice that will contribute to global learning outcomes and psychosocial development. Yet inequities in participation rates and lackluster reentry outcomes remain concerning. Our purpose was to investigate what students perceived to be preparatory for the upcoming study abroad/away programs in which they were enrolled. Consensual qualitative research–modi…

Internationalizing the U.S. Undergraduate Psychology Curriculum
Owing to U.S. centrism, policy regulations, language barriers, institutional resistance, and faculty member interests, efforts to internationalize the undergraduate psychology curriculum are not yet realized. Therefore, we conducted a consensual qualitative research ( Hill, 2012 ; Hill et al., 2005 ; Hill, Thompson, & Williams, 1997 ) investigation of current efforts to internationalize the U.S. undergraduate psychology curriculum. We interviewed…
A consensual qualitative investigation into the repatriation experiences of young adult, missionary kids
A growing body of literature has documented the repatriation difficulties of children who have spent some portion of their developmental years outside their passport country; this cultural crisis is particularly evident for the repatriated missionary kid (MK). Our study employed a constructivist-interpretivist approach with Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) to interview young adult, repatriated MKs (n = 9) and those who support them (n = 4). …
Psychological functioning of international missionaries
In our constantly shrinking world, it has become increasingly important to understand and negotiate the intricacies of cross-cultural contact. Each year, large numbers of individuals migrate across
First-year adaptation of female, expatriate religious and humanitarian aid workers
Previous research has demonstrated that international religious workers struggle more than other expatriate groups; our purpose was to investigate these differences. Data were from a larger project where 32 American female expatriate spouses were evaluated at three-month intervals during their first year of expatriation to a Middle Eastern country. Disaggregating the data allowed a comparison of worker outcomes (n = 5) to other expats (n = 25). R…
Psychological well-being and sociocultural adaptation in college-aged, repatriated, missionary kids
A growing body of literature suggests that children of international missionaries (missionary kids; MKs) struggle with repatriation and have lower levels of well-being than non-MK peers. Unfortunately, many of these reports provide only frequency or bivariate-level data, fail to report the magnitude of differences or problems, and are not theoretically driven. We responded to these needs with a multivariate comparison of 63 MKs and 63 university …
Counseling Outcome as a Function of Counselor Nationality for American Expatriate Clients
Educational and Vocational Aspirations of Minority and Female Students
This study examined the relative importance of school, family, personal/psychological, race, and sex variables in predicting educational and vocational aspirations. A nationally representative sample of 10th‐grade students was followed through 2 years beyond their high school. Results suggested that sex and race significantly predicted educational and vocational aspirations of students. The educational aspiration model was shown to be more robust…
