The Politics of Belonging
Resilience among 1.5 generation Korean American emerging adults
Coalition or Othering? Asian Americans’ Experiences of Discrimination, Collective Identity, and Intergroup Solidarity
Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of the rejection identification model (RIM) and intraethnic othering, this study examined how Asian Americans’ perceived discrimination was sequentially associated with collective identity and intergroup solidarity in the rare racial context of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also examined if critical consciousness moderated these relationships. A moderated mediation model was tested in a community sample of 468 As…
Covid-19-Related Racial Experiences Among Asian Americans
Acculturation, enculturation, culture-specific emotional distress, and parenting among Korean immigrant mothers
This study examined how Korean immigrant mothers' cultural orientations (i.e., acculturation and enculturation) were related to their mental health, specifically depression and the culturally specific syndrome of Hwa-byung (HB), and had direct and indirect relations to their parenting practices (i.e., authoritative, authoritarian, acceptance, rejection). In a sample of 412 Korean immigrant mothers (99.5% foreign-born; M age = 45.31), a path analy…

Migratory grief and mental health in first-generation Korean American immigrants
Acculturation, enculturation, and social connectedness were significant predictors of first-generation Korean immigrants' migratory grief. Additionally, migratory grief and social connectedness significantly predicted mental health. We discussed implications for research and practice.

Ideological and Experiential Predictors of Asian Americans’ Attitudes Towards Black Americans
Drawing on the theories of Kim’s racial triangulation and Allport’s intergroup contact, this study examined ideological and experiential predictors of Asian Americans’ interracial attitudes and solidarity with Black Americans. In a community sample of 249 Asian Americans, hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that the ideological variables of internalized racism and model minority myth were associated with greater anti-Black attitude…
A Content Analysis of the Counseling Psychology Literature on Religiousness and Spirituality
This study reviewed the literature on religiousness and spirituality (RS) published in three major journals in counseling psychology. We aimed to evaluate (a) the content and methods of RS research and (b) operational definitions of RS constructs and suggestions for research and practice. At Level 1, we reviewed 901 articles that included an RS related word(s) anywhere in the article. At Level 2, we further analyzed 108 empirical studies and 31 c…
Gait Speed and Sleep Duration Is Associated with Increased Risk of MCI in Older Community-Dwelling Adults
This study aimed to examine the linear and nonlinear associations between sleep duration and gait speed and the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in community-dwelling older adults. Participants were 233 older adults who met the study inclusion criteria. The MCI diagnosis was based on medical evaluations through a clinical interview conducted by a dementia specialist. Self-reported sleep duration was evaluated using the Pittsburg…
Acculturation/enculturation and internalized model minority myth in Korean immigrant families
Drawing on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory (1977), this study examined the antecedents and outcomes of internalized model minority myth (MMM) within the microsystem of family and the macrosystem of culture. Among Korean immigrant families, we examined how mothers' internalized MMM (i.e., achievement orientation, unrestricted mobility) and youth's cultural orientations (i.e., acculturation, enculturation) were related to youth's interna…
Examination of Korean immigrant mothers’ parenting practices
By using the conceptual framework of bilinear acculturation, this study examined Korean immigrant mothers' parenting practices among 389 mother-youth (adolescent children in middle or high school) dyads. We examined (a) how mothers' acculturation and enculturation were related to mainstream (i.e., authoritarian vs. authoritative styles, communication, warmth/bonding, autonomy support) versus culture specific parenting practices (i.e., interdepend…
A Meta-Analysis of Acculturation and Enculturation
Acculturation and enculturation are currently conceptualized as bilinear, multidimensional, and context-dependent cultural socialization processes (Yoon et al., 2013). Yet, this conceptualization requires further specification and empirical evidence. Our work is timely given the downward shift in productivity of traditional acculturation research and the need for a new direction. We examined the constructs and processes of acculturation and encul…
Acculturation and patriarchal beliefs among Asian American young adults
Implications of Transnational Adoption Status for Adult Korean Adoptees
This study used a consensual qualitative research method to explore the implications of transnational adoption in the lives of 12 adult Korean adoptees. From the analysis, 6 domains emerged: (a) adoption history and preadoptive memories, (b) meaning of adoption, (c) adoptive family dynamics, (d) racism, (e) identity formation, and (f) counseling experiences. Results highlight the need for more awareness surrounding transnational adoption througho…

Validation of Social Connectedness in Mainstream Society and the Ethnic Community Scales
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Social Connectedness in Mainstream Society (SCMN) and the Social Connectedness in the Ethnic Community (SCETH) Scales in two groups of ethnic minorities. We especially examined their theoretical/conceptual and empirical viability in relation to other established constructs of general social connectedness, acculturation, and enculturation. Analyses of two sets of survey data from 200 Mexican A…
Content analysis of acculturation research in counseling and counseling psychology
The authors conducted a 22-year (1988–2009) content analysis of quantitative empirical research that included acculturation and/or enculturation as a study variable(s). A total of 138 studies in 134 articles were systematically evaluated from 5 major American Psychological Association and American Counseling Association journals in counseling and counseling psychology, including Journal of Counseling Psychology, The Counseling Psychologist, Journ…
Measuring ethnic identity in the Ethnic Identity Scale and the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure-Revised
This study examined the newly developed ethnic identity measures of the Ethnic Identity Scale (EIS) and the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure-Revised (MEIM-R) from psychometric and theoretical perspectives. Survey data from 289 counseling students in California were analyzed. Confirmatory factor analyses supported three correlated factors of the EIS (exploration, resolution, and affirmation) and two correlated factors of the MEIM-R (exploration,…
Importance of social connectedness as a moderator in Korean immigrants' subjective well-being
Subjective well-being theories of goal approach and value-as-a-moderator were applied to examine the role of importance of social connectedness on the relationship between social connectedness and subjective well-being in a community sample of 204 Korean immigrants. It was hypothesized that social connectedness in ethnic and mainstream society is a stronger predictor of well-being to immigrants who highly value/desire it than to those who do not.…
A Qualitative Investigation of Korean Immigrant Women’s Lives
Postimmigration adjustment experiences of 10 Korean immigrant women were examined using the consensual qualitative research method. Seven domains emerged: general life conditions; gender role; changes in family dynamics; ethnic/national identity, cultural competency, and belongingness; value changes; racial relationships; and support systems and attitudes toward counseling. Participants reported English barriers as one of the biggest challenges. …

Acculturation, social connectedness, and subjective well-being
This study examined social connectedness in mainstream society as a mediator between acculturation and subjective well-being (SWB), and social connectedness in the ethnic community as a mediator between enculturation and SWB. Survey data from 188 Korean immigrants in the Midwest were subject to path analyses. Results partially supported the study hypotheses. Social connectedness in mainstream society tended to partially mediate the relationship b…
