The impact of digital teaching on learning burnout in college students: The moderating role of self-efficacy and the mediating effect of learning adaptability
Youth-directed racial–ethnic socialization and family processes in Asian immigrant families
Social Connectedness Protects Against the Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on First-Year Undergraduate Mental Health
Previous research has found significant links between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and worsened mental health outcomes in adulthood but has largely neglected the specific developmental period of the transition to college. The current study examined whether social factors (connectedness, integration, and support) moderated the links between ACEs and mental health. Participants ( N = 129, M age = 18.6) were first-year undergraduates who com…
Hawthorn leaf flavonoids alleviate the deterioration of atherosclerosis by inhibiting SCAP-SREBP2-LDLR pathway through sPLA2-IIA signaling in macrophages in mice
HLF exerted a protective effect against atherosclerosis through inhibiting sPLA2-IIA to diminish SCAP-SREBP2-LDLR signaling pathway, to reduce LDL uptake caused foam cell formation, and to slow down the progression of atherosclerosis in mice
One size doesn’t fit all: Forms of social technology differentially predict distress
The current study explored diverse forms of social technology and their corresponding links to distress and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. A multinational sample of 302 adults in the United States, Mexico, and Japan self-reported on their use of various forms of social technology, psychological distress, and happiness. Results revealed cultural differences in the amount of social technology use (Mexicans highest, Japanese lowest). While…
Implicit support differs across five groups in the U.S., Taiwan, and Mexico
Objective: Prior research documents numerous psychological and physiological benefits of implicit support particularly for Asians/Asian Americans. However, potential variation in how two different kinds of collectivism-Harmony and Convivial-shape support has been overlooked. Additionally, implicit support has largely been studied using quantitative approaches, whereas qualitative methods may best illuminate how implicit support is used in everyda…
The complexity of cultural mismatch in higher education: Norms affecting first-generation college students’ coping and help-seeking behaviors
Results revealed a mismatch between hard independence (being self-reliant, resilient, and emotionally tough) and soft independence (being self-expressive, pursuing personal interests, and gaining a sense of freedom) and illuminate how relational concerns hinder help seeking among first-generation college students. These findings support culturally tailoring outreach efforts to address norms that promote self-reliance and the underutilization of s…
Ethnicity moderates the benefits of perceived support and emotional expressivity on stress reactivity for Asian Americans and Euro Americans
Results counter the notion that perceived support and emotion expressivity are universal psychosocial resources for managing stress. This study highlights the importance of considering ethnic group differences in these socioemotional processes that are relevant for better understanding adaptive coping and well-being.

Implications of emotion expressivity for daily and trait interpersonal and intrapersonal functioning across ethnic groups
Mutual and Non-Mutual Social Support: Cultural Differences in the Psychological, Behavioral, and Biological Effects of Support Seeking
Social support seeking is not uniformly beneficial for different cultural groups, and in fact, is experienced as less helpful and more distressing for Asians and Asian Americans compared with European Americans. However, relationship factors that may attenuate this cross-cultural difference are little understood. We examined the effects of mutual (i.e., interdependent) and non-mutual support on psychological, biological, and behavioral stress res…
Psychological well-being and job stress predict marital support interactions: A naturalistic observational study of dual-earner couples in their homes
Video recordings of couples in their everyday lives at home were used to study how supportive interactions relate to psychological well-being and experiences of job stress. Thirty dual-earner, middle-class, heterosexual couples with school-age children were videotaped in their homes over 4 days and completed self-report measures of depressive symptoms, trait neuroticism, and job stress. After isolating the specific instances of marital support in…
Cultural differences in daily support experiences
Previous research has suggested that Asian Americans (AAs) are less likely to mobilize social support, and find support to be less helpful, when compared with European Americans (EAs). In a 10-day daily diary study of AA and EA college students, we hypothesized that AAs would activate support less frequently than EAs for both stressful and positive events, a cultural difference that would be mediated by group harmony values. We also predicted tha…
Explaining elevated social anxiety among Asian Americans: Emotional attunement and a cultural double bind
Previous research has documented elevated levels of social anxiety in Asian American college students when compared with their European American peers. The authors hypothesized that higher symptoms among Asians could be explained by cultural differences in attunement to the emotional states of others. Socialization within interdependent cultures may cultivate concerns about accurately perceiving other's emotional responses, yet at the same time, …
