Navigating the help-seeking maze: Examining stigma, depression, and negative network orientation in college students’ help-seeking attitudes
College students face significant mental health challenges, yet many are reluctant to seek professional mental health help. This study examined the relative contributions of public stigma, self-stigma, depression, and negative network orientation to help-seeking attitudes among college students, controlling for demographic factors. Data were collected from 395 college students enrolled in U.S. postsecondary institutions. Hierarchical multiple reg…
The effects of gaining early awareness and readiness for undergraduate programs on educational outcomes: A meta-analysis
Navigating Identity Uncertainty: Identity Distress During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have only recently begun to be explored. Among college students, who were faced with sudden and unprecedented changes and challenges, it is likely that COVID-19 detrimentally impacted the establishment of a sense of self, a key developmental task of the college years. However, no research has examined the relationships among COVID-19 related worries, identity distress, and psychological and academic …

The current study examines whether an independent or interdependent self-construal explains the relationship between religious commitment and eudaimoni…
Perceived Discrimination and Risk Behaviors in African American Students: The Potential Moderating Roles of Emotion Regulation and Ethnic Socialization
Alcohol Use Severity among Hispanic Emerging Adults: Examining Intragroup Marginalization, Bicultural Self-Efficacy, and the Role of Gender within a Stress and Coping Framework
Most research on cultural stressors and alcohol has focused on intercultural stressors. Continuing to exclude intracultural stressors (e.g., intragroup marginalization) from alcohol research will yield a biased understanding of the experiences of Hispanics living in a bicultural society. As we amass more studies on intracultural stressors, research will be needed to identify mutable sociocultural factors that may mitigate the association between …

Evaluating the invariance of the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure across foreign-born, second-generation and later-generation college students in the United States
This study suggests that the MEIM has an equivalent factor structure across generation groups, indicating it is appropriate to compare the magnitude of associations between the MEIM and other variables across foreign-born, second-generation, and later-generation individuals. However, the lack of scalar invariance suggests that mean-level differences across generational status should be interpreted with caution. (PsycINFO Database Record
Examining the Academic Achievement of Latino Adolescents: The Role of Parent and Peer Beliefs and Behaviors
The achievement gap between Latino and White youth is well documented. This is of particular concern as children enter middle school because of the decline in school engagement and achievement noted in many students.
