Rethinking Health in Later Life
When Using the “N-Word” Goes Wrong
The “n-word” remains one of the most offensive racial slurs, yet it is used by both Black and non-Black individuals. Across three studies (total N = 1,063), we examined how Black people perceive its use based on the speaker's racial identity and racial self-identification, while also varying valence and context. In Study 1, we varied the target race who used the n-word (Black, Black–White biracial, White); in Study 2, we manipulated the valence i…

Black + White = Prototypically Black
Utilizing reverse correlation, we investigated Black and White participants’ mental representations of Black–White Biracial people. Across 200 trails, Black and White participants chose which of two faces best fit specific social categories. Using these decisions, we visually estimated Black and White people’s mental representations of Biracial people by generating classification images (CIs). Independent raters blind to condition determined that…

Rosenberg's self‐esteem scale
Self‐esteem is one of the most studied constructs in psychology. It has been measured with a variety of methods and instruments. Although Rosenberg's (1965) self‐report scale is one of the most widely used, empirical evidence on factor validity of this scale is somewhat contradictory, with either 1 or 2 factors. The results of this study suggest the existence of a global self‐esteem factor underlying responses to the scale, although the inclusion…
Linear Confirmatory Factor Models to Evaluate Multitrait-Multimethod Matrices
Two models for confirmatory factor analysis of multitrait-multimethod data (MTMM) were assessed, the correlated traits-correlated methods (CTCM), and the correlated traits-correlated uniqueness models (CTCU). Two Monte Carlo experiments (100 replications per cell) were performed to study the behavior of these models in terms of magnitude and direction of bias, and accuracy of estimates. Study one included a single indicator per trait-method combi…

Prediction of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being in succesful aging
Psychological well-being is a construct of maximum relevance in psychology, being the equivalent to health in medical sciences. It is a multifaceted construct, with two research traditions: the hedonic and the eudaimonic ones. On the other hand, the paradign of succesful aging is a good theoretical framework to study and understand optimal aging. Rowe and Kahn (1998) articulated this paradign proposing its three main characteristics: physcal heal…
