Children leverage predictive representations for flexible, value-guided choice
By harnessing a mental model of how the world works, learners can make flexible choices in changing environments. However, while children and adolescents readily acquire structured knowledge of their environments, relative to adults, they often demonstrate weaker signatures of leveraging this knowledge to plan actions. One explanation for these developmental differences is that using a mental model to prospectively simulate potential choices and …
The impact of oral health disparities on smoking prevalence
Smoking increases the risk of heart disease, cancer, lung infections, and diabetes, and causes oral health problems. The prevalence of smoking is significantly influenced by intersecting factors such as socioeconomic status, racial and ethnic marginalization, and differing cultural practices. Importantly, minority groups experience earlier tobacco exposure and reduced access to education and cessation programs. A comprehensive analysis of individ…
Sexual Minorities and Loneliness
We examined online and offline social supports for sexual minority adolescents, underscoring the understudied developmental period of early adolescence and the mental outcome of loneliness. Stemming from a larger study in the northeast U.S., 967 youth participants were 26% sexual minority, 53% female, 45% male, and 2% other/nonbinary (mean age = 13.1, SD = 1.52). LGBTQ+ youth reported significantly higher levels of loneliness compared to their he…
Historicizing Socially Disabling Experiences of Chinese Adoptees in the United States in the Late One-child Policy Era
This article explores how the model minority trope impacts the “conditional inclusion” of Chinese adoptees from 1991 to 2015 when mainland China initiated legal overseas Chinese adoption. Intertwined with state-prescribed and sometimes adoptive family's expectation of “a good Asian adoptee,” the model minority trope simultaneously reconnects Chinese adoptees to their Asianness, and yet alienates them at the same time among Asian Americans due to …

Migration of ‘Somebody’s Children’
This article examines the entanglement of Chinese and American motherhood through Chinese adoption in the United States in the 1990s, during what Sino-American relations scholars frame as ‘the Long Cold War era’. The Long Cold War era refers to a long durée view of the structural Cold War derivatives in Asia that defies the linear and neat Cold War periodisation from 1947 to 1991. From the 1990s to 2015, Chinese ‘revolutionary motherhood’ and Ame…
