Impact of Intergroup Dialogue on LGBTQ+ and Non-LGBTQ+ Individuals in South Korea
Prejudice and discrimination against sexual and gender minorities contribute to mental health challenges. Intergroup dialogue (IGD) is a validated intervention for mitigating the conflicts. This 7-week IGD program aimed to diminish sociocultural prejudice against LGBTQ+ individuals and assess its effectiveness. Findings revealed improved cultural empathy and critical consciousness in both LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ groups. Non-LGBTQ+ participants exhi…
Intergroup dialogue
Gender inequities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields persist and calls have been made for continued efforts to challenge systemic sexism in STEM. In response to these calls, we examined the experiences of undergraduate and graduate STEM students who participated in an intergroup dialogue (IGD) focused on gender and sexism in STEM. We conceptualize IGD as a form of “justice‐centered” STEM pedagogy, designed to bring togeth…
Creating a public psychology through a scientist-practitioner-advocate training model
Persistent racist violence, health and economic disparities, and a divisive sociopolitical climate in the United States obviate the urgent need to address pressing social issues. Psychologists are well-positioned to provide scientific and clinical expertise toward viable solutions, and can best do so through a public, outward-facing psychology that is socially engaged and advocacy-driven. We assert that discipline-wide adoption of a Scientist-Pra…

Sincerely Held Principles” or Prejudice? The Tennessee Counseling Discrimination Law
In 2016, Tennessee became the first state to allow counselors and therapists in private practice to deny services to any client based on the therapist’s sincerely held principles . The law’s proponents framed mental health care ethics as infringing on counselors’ religious liberties; its critics denounced the bill because it apparently targeted LGBT+ individuals. This exploratory study is the first statewide assessment of LGBT+ Tennesseans’ ( N =…
Internalized heterosexism, religious coping, and psychache in LGB young adults who identify as religious
Intergroup dialogue facilitation in psychology training
Although a growing body of research suggests that participation in intergroup dialogue is associated with a wide variety of positive outcomes, much less research has examined the experiences and outcomes of those who facilitate these dialogues. Therefore, using a modified grounded theory approach, we sought to examine the experiences of 10 doctoral students in counseling psychology who facilitated intergroup dialogue groups as a component of thei…

The Problem with the Phrase “Intersecting Identities”
Reconsidering Focus Groups and Rasch Model Item Response Theory in Instrument Development
In this rejoinder, we focus on five important themes derived from the valuable comments of Harvey; Wang, Hogge, and Sahai; and Whittaker and Worthington. Specifically, we reflect on (a) methodological and conceptual issues associated with the use of focus groups in developing an initial item pool, (b) the debate about the use of Rasch versus other item response theory (IRT) models, (c) response scale functioning and the use of item parcels, (d) b…
Using Focus Groups and Rasch Item Response Theory to Improve Instrument Development
Item response theory (IRT) is not widely used in counseling psychology research, despite its considerable advantages for instrument development. Focus groups help create a broad and representative item pool that is more likely to tap the full range of the latent dimension, thereby capitalizing on IRT strengths. We provide suggestions for using these tools, with an empirical example, the Everyday Multicultural Competencies/Revised Scale of Ethnocu…
