An In-Depth Exploration of the Belong Conceptual Model of Engineering Persistence
At Loyola University Chicago, the B.S. Engineering program graduates about 53% women annually, which is much higher than the United States’ average of 25%. In this paper, Loyola University Chicago’s BELONG (Becoming Engineers Leading Our Next Generation) Conceptual Model of Engineering Persistence is described. Grounded in social cognitive career theory, the BELONG model inputs collaborative program structures and uses sense of belonging to expla…

This introduction provides a brief review of the articles in the Special Issue (Technology, Social Media, Artificial Intelligence, and Mental Health: Implications for Counseling Psychology) and highlights the role that counseling psychology can play as we navigate …
Secondary traumatic stress, financial stress, and the role of coping in understanding Southeast Asian American mental health
Positioning Field Supervisors at the Hub of Clinically Focused Teacher Preparation
Clinical supervisors serve an essential role in the field of teacher preparation. Instead of positioning clinical supervisors at the fringes of our teacher preparation program, we reorganized our teaching internship to center supervisors as the hub connecting interns, collaborating mentor teachers, districts, and faculty. In this manuscript we share benefits of this relational model coupled with ongoing challenges. In the field of teacher prepara…
Fostering Asian American Emerging Adults’ Advocacy Against Anti-Black Racism Through Digital Storytelling
We tested whether a digital storytelling video on anti-Black racism could improve empathic reactions to anti-Black racism and decrease fear of Black individuals (FBI) among Asian American emerging adults, and whether these changes were associated with greater anti-racism advocacy intentions. Asian American emerging adults ( Mage = 19.92; N = 205) were randomly assigned to view either storytelling or informational online videos. Data was collected…
Structural Competencies: Re-Grounding Counseling Psychology in Antiracist and Decolonial Praxis
For counseling psychology to realize its commitments to uprooting anti-Black racism and white supremacy, we must shift from an individual to a structural frame of reference. We expand on prior calls to build upon the structural competencies approach that has been detailed in the medical literature and integrated into medical education. Whereas our existing “cultural” approaches orient us toward individual differences and characteristics, the stru…
“Your son needs help … and we're gonna help him”: A qualitative study of the experiences of gun-owning caregivers of adolescents receiving lethal means counseling in the emergency department
The Number and Type of Private Firearms in the United States
Since 2015, tens of millions of guns have entered the U.S. market. Using household survey data, we found that the number of firearms owned by U.S. adults increased from 265 million in 2015 to 326 million in 2019. Over this period, the proportion of firearms that were handguns increased slightly, from 42 to 44 percent, continuing a long-standing trend. Seventy percent of handguns were pistols (102 million) and 30 percent revolvers (43 million); 5.…
Covid-19 pandemic in Panama: Lessons of the unique risks and research opportunities for Latin America
The Republic of Panama has the second most unequally distributed wealth in Central America, has recently entered the list of countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and has one of the largest testing rate per inhabitant in the region and consequently the highest incidence rate of COVID-19, making it an ideal location to discuss potential scenarios for assessing epidemic preparedness, and to outline research opportunities in the Region of the…
Measurement invariance of the perceived online racism scale across age and gender
The Perceived Online Racism Scale (PORS) is the first measure specifically developed to assess online racist interpersonal interactions and exposure to online racist content. To advance and strengthen the psychometric foundation of the PORS, the current study evaluated the measurement invariance of PORS across gender and age, two major demographic categories that can differentially affect how racism is perceived. Based on the framework of interse…
Validating the National Violent Death Reporting System as a Source of Data on Fatal Shootings of Civilians by Law Enforcement Officers
Objectives. To evaluate the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) as a surveillance system for fatal shootings of civilians by law enforcement in the United States. Methods. We cross-linked individual-level mortality data from the 2015 NVDRS and 5 open-source data sets ( FatalEncounters.org , Mapping Police Violence, the Guardian’s “The Counted,” Gun Violence Archive, and The Washington Post’s “Fatal Force Database”). Using the comprehe…
Racism on the Internet: Conceptualization and recommendations for research.
Predictors of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics choice options: A meta-analytic path analysis of the social–cognitive choice model by gender and race/ethnicity.
We tested the interest and choice portion of social-cognitive career theory (SCCT; Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994) in the context of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) domains. Data from 143 studies (including 196 independent samples) conducted over a 30-year period (1983 through 2013) were subjected to meta-analytic path analyses. The interest/choice model was found to fit the data well over all samples as well as within samp…
Measurement invariance of the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18) across Asian American ethnic, nativity, and gender groups
What Does “Good Adjustment” Mean for Chinese International Students? A Qualitative Investigation
In this study, we aimed to provide a rich description of Chinese graduate international students’ ways of coping with adjustment challenges and their subjective appraisal of adjustment. Nine Chinese graduate international students (six women, three men) from different institutions and disciplines reported their perceptions of the broad sociopolitical context, cultural adjustment experiences, and subjective evaluation of adjustment. We analyzed th…
Social Class, Classism, Stigma, and College Students’ Attitudes Toward Counseling
This study tested two competing theoretically and empirically derived models of college students’ attitudes toward seeking counseling. It extends the literature in this area by assessing the influence of objective and subjective social class, classism, and stigma on attitudes. We used structural equation modeling to analyze self-reported archival data from 2,230 incoming college students at a large, public research university in the Eastern Unite…
Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale for Asian Americans: Testing the factor structure and measurement invariance across generational status
Developing a Culture of Learning Around the edTPA: One University’s Journey
In this article, we discuss how an interdisciplinary faculty team at a midsized public university created supports for the Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA), a high-stakes performance assessment for preservice candidates being adopted by many states. We provide a general description of our work in contending with the challenge of developing a culture of learning around edTPA and share how we have constructed a program that builds an “ethos” …
Construction and initial validation of the Multiracial Experiences Measure (MEM)
This article describes the development and validation of the Multiracial Experiences Measure (MEM): a new measure that assesses uniquely racialized risks and resiliencies experienced by individuals of mixed racial heritage. Across 2 studies, there was evidence for the validation of the 25-item MEM with 5 subscales including Shifting Expressions, Perceived Racial Ambiguity, Creating Third Space, Multicultural Engagement, and Multiracial Discrimina…
Validation of the internalization of the Model Minority Myth Measure (IM-4) and its link to academic performance and psychological adjustment among Asian American adolescents
There is limited research examining psychological correlates of a uniquely racialized experience of the model minority stereotype faced by Asian Americans. The present study examined the factor structure and fit of the only published measure of the internalization of the model minority myth, the Internalization of the Model Minority Myth Measure (IM-4; Yoo et al., 2010), with a sample of 155 Asian American high school adolescents. We also examine…
A cluster analytic examination of acculturation and health status among Asian Americans in the Washington DC metropolitan area, United States
The relationship between intergenerational cultural conflict and social support among Asian American and Asian international female college students and their parents
Sexual Victimization and Completed Suicide Among Danish Female Adults
Although sexual victimization has been associated with suicidal behaviors, its association with completed suicide has not been examined. We investigated this association among Danish women using longitudinal data and a conservative definition of victimization. This population-based case-control study included 476 suicide cases and 12,010 matched controls. Seven cases (1.5%) and 5 controls (0.04%) experienced sexual victimization that was reported…
A test of the domain-specific acculturation strategy hypothesis
Acculturation literature has evolved over the past several decades and has highlighted the dynamic ways in which individuals negotiate experiences in multiple cultural contexts. The present study extends this literature by testing M. J. Miller and R. H. Lim's (2010) domain-specific acculturation strategy hypothesis-that individuals might use different acculturation strategies (i.e., assimilated, bicultural, separated, and marginalized strategies;…
A bilinear multidimensional measurement model of Asian American acculturation and enculturation: Implications for counseling interventions
Several unilinear and bilinear dimensional measurement models of Asian American acculturation and enculturation were tested with confirmatory factor analysis. Bilinear models of acculturation consistently outperformed the unilinear model. In addition, models that articulated multiple dimensions (i.e., values and behavior) exhibited a better fit to the data than did unidimensional models. The degree to which Asian Americans adhered to the values a…

Testing a bilinear domain-specific model of acculturation and enculturation across generational status
This study attempted to replicate Miller's (2007) finding that a bilinear domain-specific model of Asian American acculturation demonstrated superior model fit when compared to unilinear and bilinear domain-generic models. Current confirmatory factor analytic tests of competing acculturation models in a cross-validation sample of 306 participants were consistent with Miller's findings. In addition, this study provided novel findings regarding the…
