Exploring the divergent academic outcomes of U.S.-origin and immigrant-origin Black undergraduates
To explore the divergent academic experiences and outcomes of U.S.-origin and immigrant-origin Black Americans, we drew on Tinto's model of persistence (1993) to test a three-wave longitudinal model of college persistence using path analysis. Our sample was comprised of 101 ethnically-diverse Black students who were randomly selected from nine public high schools in the metropolitan Boston area and went on to matriculate at 32 different, predomin…
Diverse Patterns in the Development of Depressive Symptoms Among Emerging Adults
This article examines depressive symptoms over a 4-year period in a racially diverse community sample of 1,143 18- to 22-year-old emerging adults using latent growth and mixture modeling and data collected at three time points. Participants were high school seniors randomly chosen from nine public schools in a metropolitan region in the Northeastern United States. Mixture analyses yielded four distinct groups: one large group with low, stable rat…
Training Therapists to Be Culturally Sensitive with Asian American Women Clients
We describe here a developmental sequence of three key training experiences that contribute to developing cultural sensitivity for clinicians who are not of Asian heritage and are working with Asian American women. The sequence reflects and illustrates our guiding assumptions for developing multicultural sensitivity, including an emphasis on cultural self-awareness and a reflexive approach to knowledge acquisition and clinical practice. Effects o…
Ego Identity, Ethnic Identity, and the Psychosocial Well-Being of Ethnic Minority and Majority College Students
Although empirical studies have linked a consolidated ego identity to positive psychosocial outcomes for White middle-class adolescents, there is little research documenting this relationship for ethnic minority youth. This study investigated the relationships among ego identity, ethnic identity, and psychosocial functioning, and compared these relationships for ethnic minority and majority college students. The findings revealed that students wi…
Navigating Disrupted Transitions: Getting Back on Track After Dropping Out of High School
Using ecological-developmental and resilience perspectives, this study utilizes quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the role of family, community, and individual variables in reestablishing school and work pathways for a diverse sample of 182 Boston-area high school dropouts. Extra familial involvement and individual coping style prove the best predictors of on-track status
Acculturation and emotion among Asian Americans
Acculturation and emotion among Asian Americans
This study examined the emotion experience of Asian Americans in relation to respondents' orientation to acculturation: Assimilation, Integration, Separation, or Marginalization (J. W. Berry, 1980). Ego- versus other-focused emotion experiences (H. R. Markus & S. Kitayama, 1991) and attention and valence, 2 stages in P. C. Ellsworth's (1994) model of emotion appraisal, were used to investigate the relation between acculturation and affect. Asian …
The role of sibling support in high-conflict families
Effects of sibling support on the relationship between family conflict and individual psychological adjustment was explored in a sample of university students. Those from high-conflict homes with high sibling support reported more positive adjustment than did only-children and individuals with low sibling support. Sibling support was not associated with greater adjustment in low-conflict homes, thus reinforcing its potential benefits as a buffer …
Assessing resilience in adults with histories of childhood sexual abuse
Adults with histories of childhood sexual abuse were categorized as being either resilient or nonresilient on the basis of current levels of depression and self-esteem. Characteristics of both the individual and the early family environment distinguished resilient from nonresilient abuse survivors, as did the physically coercive nature of the abuse experience
The Social Costs of Unemployment: Implications for Social Support
Social support is typically viewed as a stable factor that is potentially an important moderator of the effects of stressful life events. This study examines the effect of one economic stressor, unemployment, on social support, the mediation of this effect, and then the stress-buffering hypothesis. Data were taken from a longitudinal panel study of 82 blueand white-collar men who recently experienced unemployment. Social support was measured in t…
Social Class and Mental Illness Reconsidered: The Role of Economic Stress and Social Support
Several bodies of research are reviewed for their contributions to defining the relationship of individual psychological disorder to social structure and process. The specific problem addressed is the relationship of social class to psychological impairment and its mediation. The generic problem is one of locating psychological processes and individual behavior within a societal framework. Recent work focusing on the effects of economic change an…
