Mixed-Methods Needs Assessment of Mental Health Among Asian American Christians
Despite the growing recognition of mental health concerns within Asian American populations, significant barriers exist in accessing and receiving adequate mental health care. This study seeks to examine the current mental health needs of Asian/Asian American (AAA) Christians to promote future efforts in addressing the mental health treatment gap. Participants ( N = 98) who identified as AAA Christians living in Los Angeles and Orange Counties we…
The Integration of Psychology and Theology Within Asian American Contexts
This special issue explores the intersection of psychology and theology within Asian American contexts. Asian Americans have faced immigration challenges, discrimination, and the complex development of their identities within the United States. Despite these experiences, little attention has been given to how psychology and theology can be integrated to address their unique struggles and strengths. The purpose of this issue is to bridge this gap …
Multiculturalism and Diversity in Integration Journals
Multiculturalism has emerged as a central focus in psychology and theology, although the field of integration has been slower to embrace it. In this article, we explore the literature at the intersection of multiculturalism, psychology, and theology using a content analysis. Multicultural article titles and abstracts from the Journal of Psychology and Theology (JPT) and the Journal of Psychology and Christianity (JPC) were examined from their fir…
The Cycle of Cultural Integration
We draw from Miranda Fricker’s theory of epistemic injustice in evaluating the impact of limited cultural diversity within the integration literature. Since culture and social location are frameworks that help us make meaning of the world, failing to actively engage culture in integration is to perpetuate hermeneutical injustice. In this paper, we propose: (1) a theoretical model for actively engaging culture in the integration of psychology and …
Attachment and Mental Health in the Covid-19 Pandemic
Consistent with the teachings in various religious traditions of finding meaning amidst suffering, we suspected that Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) would have a buffering effect on attachment insecurity and psychosocial outcomes. We examined the effects of anxious and avoidant attachment, PTG, and religion on psychosocial outcomes (i.e., anxiety, depression, and loneliness). Data from 466 participants recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) and…
Does forgiving in a collectivistic culture affect only decisions to forgive and not emotions? Reach forgiveness collectivistic in Indonesia
According to some theorising, in collectivistic societies, forgiveness is mainly enacted to maintain relationships, not engender emotional transformation. This present study was designed to explore whether forgiveness affects decisional and emotional forgiveness in Indonesia, a country categorised as collectivistic. The evidence‐based REACH Forgiveness psychoeducational group intervention was adapted to collectivistic culture (REACH forgiveness c…
Integration of Christianity in Research and Statistics Courses
Teaching pedagogy and praxis on the integration of research skills with Christianity are introduced with practical classroom strategies. The authors discuss the purpose of Christian integration in statistics and research design courses as a spiritual and scientific endeavor. They discuss how they address students’ attitudes towards research with respect for their faith and cultural traditions. The development of research skills and personal virtu…
Virtues Develop from a Secure Base
Little research has explored the role of attachment in predicting virtues. In the present study, we provide an initial investigation testing the theory that virtues develop from having secure attachment relationships and the ability to bounce back from adversity. Specifically, we examined attachment and ego resilience as predictors of humility, gratitude and forgiveness. A series of hierarchical multiple regression analyses on a community sample …
