Child sexual abuse and adulthood-interpersonal outcomes: Examining pathways for intervention
We examined a dual pathway, longitudinal mediational model in which child sexual abuse (CSA) influences adulthood-interpersonal functioning and sexual risk through its impact on resiliency resources and psychological distress. Women were recruited from two obstetrics and gynecological clinics serving primarily low-income, inner-city women (N = 693) and interviewed at pretest (Time 1) and 6-month follow-up (Time 2). The proposed mediators were res…
Resource loss, resource gain, and emotional outcomes among inner city women
The authors examined a dynamic conceptualization of stress by investigating how economic stress, measured in terms of material loss, alters women's personal and social resources and how these changed resources impact anger and depressive mood. Resource change in women's mastery and social support over 9 months was significantly associated with changes in depressive mood and anger among 714 inner city women. Greater loss of mastery and social supp…
The Impact of Communal-Mastery Versus Self-Mastery on Emotional Outcomes During Stressful Conditions: A Prospective Study of Native American Women
Past research has examined the stress resiliency of individuals high in sense of personal-mastery. However, it has been theorized that within more collectivist cultures, a sense of shared efficacy, which we call communal-mastery, may be more central to people's resiliency in the face of challenging life circumstances. We compared the impact of sense of self-mastery (i.e., "I am the key to my success") to that of communal-mastery (i.e., "I am succ…
Life stressors, mastery, and perceived partner engagement in HIV-Risk behavior
The relationships among level of personal mastery, economic stress, number of sexual partners, pregnancy status, and perceived partner engagement in HIV-risk behaviors (i.e., intravenous drug use, imprisonment, and sex with other partners) were studied in a sample of 1069 single, inner-city women. African American and European Americans were equally represented. We predicted that greater economic stress, a lower sense of personal mastery, and mor…
Proximal and Distal Predictors of Aids Risk Behaviors among Inner-city African American and European American Women
AIDS risk behavior and attitudes towards safer sex were studied in a sample of 666 African American and 626 European American women. Condom use, AIDS-related knowledge, risk perception, self-efficacy beliefs, attitudes and perceived partner attitudes, and an assertive coping style were analyzed with regard to mean differences and predictive power in both ethnic groups. Compared to European American women, African American women had less knowledge…
Ambiguity of monogamy as a safer-sex goal among single, pregnant, inner-city women: Monogamy by whose definition
We examined the ambiguity of monogamy as a safer-sex goal in a sample of young, inner- city women ( N = 447), of whom 58 percent were African- American and 42 percent European-American. It was our premise that women may be misperceiving and underestimating their risk due to differences in their definition and beliefs about monogamy, and thus are not changing their behavior. When compared to long-term monogamous women (self-reporting one partner i…
The empowerment of women: A key to HIV prevention
We discuss the process underlying the success of an HIV-prevention project for young, inner-city women. The intervention was based on the concepts of empowerment and culturally sensitive skill building. Four critical points relevant to the translation of HIV prevention knowledge into behavioral change among the sample are examined: (1) integrating the important issues of the participants' lives into the HIV prevention program, (2) utilizing a gro…
Implications of an Africentric Worldview in Reducing Stress for African American Women
Despite the extensive research on stress in recent decades, including the emphasis on stress mediation and reduction, epidemiological studies indicate that African American women continue to experience high rates of morbidity and mortality because of stress and stress‐related diseases. With growth in the conceptualization and articulation of an Africentric perspective for defining the functioning of African American people, in this article the au…
Conservation of resources in community intervention
Evaluated the applications of principles of resource conservation and management in community interventions and compared these to a more individual, perception-based psychological perspective. Conservation of resource theory suggests that promotion of well-being and prevention of disease depend on the availability and successful management of resources. When resources are lacking, lost, or when invested without consequent gain, people become vuln…
