Coping with rejection: Perceived discrimination, religious and national identity, and collective action among Muslim Americans
Islamophobia remains a persistent challenge in American society. However, little is known about how Muslim individuals cope with discrimination and hostility tied to their religious identity. Amid a unique socio-political context, this study draws on a cross-sectional sample of 256 Muslim Americans to examine how this minority group responds to discrimination that is perceived at both the group and personal levels. Grounded in two complementary t…
Examining the effect of perceived group norms on the indirect relationship between intergroup contact and anti-Muslim prejudice among white Americans
Acculturative stress, stigma, and mental health challenges: Emic perspectives from Somali young adults in San Diego county’s ‘Little Mogadishu’
Implications of this study are discussed in the context of bridging intergenerational and acculturation divides to deliver culturally competent interventions that improve the mental health and well-being of Somali young adults and aid them in their adjustment to the U.S
Prevalence and Social-Ecological Correlates of Intimate Partner Violence in a Conflict Zone—Evidence From the 2015 Afghanistan Demographic and Health Survey
This study examined the prevalence and social-ecological correlates of male-to-female intimate partner violence (IPV) in Afghanistan. Using data from the 2015 Afghanistan Demographic and Health Survey, which included 20,793 currently married women, we found that the past-year prevalence of physical IPV was highest (46%), followed by emotional (34%) and sexual forms (6%). Results also showed that the risk of IPV in general was associated with an a…
Challenges to the economic integration of Afghan refugees in the U.S
Informed by a modified segmented assimilation theory, we use 5% Census and American Community Survey data to examine the economic integration of Afghan refugees resettled in the U.S. First-wave Afghan refugees have made significant gains in income and employment, while their poverty rates and reliance on government assistance decreased dramatically. However, the most recent wave of Afghan refugees is not doing as well as the first at comparable p…
Sport as high culture in the USA
This study seeks to theoretically and empirically advance our understanding of sport and cultural capital in the USA by testing if social class patterns of four types of sport participation (fitness, competitive, attending elite sporting events, and participation in all three) fit Bourdieu's theory of class cultural divisions. In addition to testing for the influence of vertical class divisions, it tests for divisions within the dominant classes,…
A Qualitative Study Exploring the Psychosocial Needs of Male Undocumented Afghan Migrants in Istanbul, Turkey
(1) Background: Refugees and asylum-seekers from Afghanistan have been shown to be highly distressed as a result of pre- and post-resettlement traumas. However, little is known about the challenges that Afghan migrants endure while residing in Turkey, a population that has grown at unprecedented rates in recent years, and largely deemed illegal by Turkish asylum and settlement laws; (2) Methods: We conducted interviews with 15 Afghan males residi…
Determinants of Health Care Services Utilization among First Generation Afghan Migrants in Istanbul
There is insufficient empirical evidence on the correlates of health care utilization of irregular migrants currently living in Turkey. The aim of this study was to identify individual level determinants associated with health service and medication use. One hundred and fifty-five Afghans completed surveys assessing service utilization including encounters with primary care physicians and outpatient specialists in addition to the use of prescript…
Effect of Perceived Discrimination on Depressive Symptoms in 1st- and 2nd-Generation Afghan-Americans
Gendered Sources of Distress and Resilience among Afghan Refugees in Northern California: A Cross-Sectional Study
Recent studies have emphasized the influence of resettlement factors on the mental health of refugees resettling in developed countries. However, little research has addressed gender differences in the nature and influence of resettlement stressors and sources of resilience. We address this gap in knowledge by investigating how gender moderates and mediates the influence of several sources of distress and resilience among 259 Afghan refugees resi…
Media Use, Social Structure, and Belief in 9/11 Conspiracy Theories
A survey of 1,010 randomly selected adults asked about media use and belief in three conspiracy theories about the attacks of September 11, 2001. “Paranoid style” and “cultural sociology” theories are outlined, and empirical support is found for both. Patterns vary somewhat by conspiracy theory, but members of less powerful groups (racial minorities, lower social class, women, younger ages) are more likely to believe at least one of the conspirac…
Televised Sports, Masculinist Moral Capital, and Support for the U.S. Invasion of Iraq
Data from a survey of 1,048 Americans conducted in summer 2003 are used to demonstrate the existence of a “televised masculinist sport–militaristic nationalism complex” that contributed support for the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Involvement in televised masculinist sports is robustly correlated with support for invading Iraq, the doctrine of preventive attacks, and strong patriotic feelings for the United States. Critical feminists and figurationalis…
Gender, Social Class, and the Sporting Capital–Economic Capital Nexus
In “Do High School Athletes Earn More Pay?” Curtis, McTeer, and White reopened an important line of inquiry about the conversion of sporting capital to economic capital. They found associations between adolescent participation sports and adult income for Canadian men and women with some college education. The present study revises and extends Curtis and colleagues’ understanding of sport as cultural capital and its relation to economic capital, t…
Adult Participation Sports as Cultural Capital: A Test of Bourdieu’s Theory of the Field of Sports
This study extends recent tests of Bourdieu's theory of sports as cultural capital using data from the 1998 US National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) on adult Americans' frequency and intensity of participation in 15 sports. Most of the previous tests of Bourdieu's theory have been limited to general measures of sport participation, and have provided general support for the thesis that sports operate as cultural capital. The NHIS data allow infe…
