Language proficiency and academic achievement in rural and agricultural Latine youth: A mixed methods approach
This study investigates the influence of executive functioning, language proficiency, and behavioral-emotional challenges on the academic performance of rural immigrant Latine youth in the Midwest. Using a convergent mixed methods design, we integrated quantitative analyses (N = 178) of academic indicators (GPA, Math, and ELA scores) with qualitative interviews (n = 47) that examined students' lived experiences. Higher behavioral difficulties wer…
Impact of maternal internalizing symptoms, responsiveness, and youth ego-resiliency on rural Latine adolescent depression
Food consumption norms based on age and income in the UK
Purpose Consumption norms describe an individual’s perception of what or how much most other people typically eat. While gendered consumption norms are well known, consumption norms linked to other demographic variables are yet to be reported. This study aimed to investigate which food consumption norms in relation to gender, age and income are currently held by the UK population. A secondary research objective was to investigate whether these co…
Family ethnic socialization practices longitudinally associated with cultural assets, civic responsibility, and prosocial behaviors in rural U.S. Latino/a youth
Given the increasing number of Latino/a youth in the United States who reside in rural locations and who might be prone to race‐ and immigrant status‐related threats, more research attention is needed that focuses on cultural strengths and positive development. Ecocultural developmental theorists and prior research have postulated and found that family ethnic socialization practices, ethnic identity, and familism values are linked to a variety of…
The mediational role of anxiety and familism in the associations between mothers’ and fathers’ parenting behaviors and U.S. Latine youth’s aggression
Personal relationships research is increasingly addressing the impact of both mothers and fathers parenting behaviors on youth' development. This study addresses the relative dearth of research on the effects of fathers versus mothers on youth behavioral adjustment within U.S. Latine families and examined the relations among parental warmth/ harshness and youth' aggressive behaviors considering anxiety and familism as mediators, and whether assoc…

‘Welcome to my world’: A thematic analysis of the lived experiences of people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis during the UK Covid-19 lockdown
OBJECTIVES: We explore the experiences of people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (pwME/CFS) during the first UK COVID-19 lockdown period. We specifically probe perceived commonalities and departures in experience between government- and health-imposed lockdowns, application of coping strategies for social isolation, and predictions for inclusion of the chronically ill in post-pandemic society. METHODS AND MEASURES: Thirty …
Social media use, loneliness and psychological distress in emerging adults
Social media plays a dominant role in emerging adults’ lives, with evidence showing that it can contribute to elevated levels of psychological distress. However, existing findings are contradictory, insofar as the connection between social media use (SMU) and psychological distress remains unclear. To gain a better insight into the above relationship, we focused on different styles of engagement with social media (active social, active non-social…
Long-term trajectories of depressive symptoms by military affiliation
A larger percentage of those who served were in the "increasing" trajectory characterized by concerningly high depressive symptoms by midlife, underscoring the need for continued screening in depressive symptoms throughout the life course. Associations between family structure and gender on depressive symptoms support calls for conceptualizing family structure as a social determinant of health and continued investment in women's health
Structural risks and family adjustment in midwestern Latine immigrant families: Extending the family stress model
Culturally relevant structural risks exert a negative influence on family processes in rural Latine immigrant families through contributing to economic pressures and parental distress. The additional impact of these experiences should be considered when addressing the FSM in Latine populations. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
The impact of Covid ‐19 on mental health and well‐being of Latine youth from rural and agricultural families in the Midwest
The COVID‐19 pandemic had significant health and socioeconomic repercussions for Latine immigrant families and their children due to long‐standing social, economic, and immigration‐related inequities, with rural families particularly vulnerable. In particular, the mental health and well‐being of Latine youth may have been detrimentally impacted due to disproportionate family stressors and burdens. In the present study, we examined the effect of p…
How Latine youth's positive development unfold through farmwork in rural migrant farmworker families in the U.S. Midwest
Some Latine youth from rural migrant farmworker communities engage in farmwork to help support themselves and their families. Although research has documented their motives for working and some characteristics of their employment, knowledge about how these youth construct their work in the fields and how such experiences relate to their positive development is needed to depict their holistic experiences. Using mixed methods, we explored youth's f…
Fostering academic competence in Latinx youth: The role of cultural values and parenting behaviors
Although high school completion rates for Latinx adolescents have improved, rural Latinx youth experience more barriers to academic success than their urban counterparts. Using a culturally informed model, we tested prospective associations between adolescents' Wave 1 familism values (cultural values emphasizing the importance of family relationships and connections) and Wave 2 academic competencies in a sample of predominantly rural Latinx adole…

Parental Accuracy of Reporting Child Sleep Duration: Examining Sleep and Childhood Obesity in Midwestern Latinx Youth
This study examined the relationship between the accuracy of parental reporting of children’s sleep duration compared to objectively measured child sleep and tested whether any discrepancies were related to childhood obesity prevalence in a sample of Latinx families ( N = 119). A paired sample t-test revealed that parents significantly overestimated their child’s sleep duration by 1.33 hours, t(86) = 6.69, p < .001. Using a one-way ANOVA, no sign…
Stress and Health Outcomes in Midwestern Latinx Youth: The Moderating Role of Ethnic Pride
Stressors were generally related to child mental health. LEP may play an important role in protecting against some of the effects of stressful events on mental health outcomes
Individual factors in the relationship between stress and resilience in mental health psychology practitioners during the Covid-19 pandemic
Utilising an online survey, this study aimed to investigate the concurrent effects of pre-pandemic and COVID-19 stress on resilience in Mental Health Psychology Practitioners (MHPPs) ( n = 325), focussing on the mediation effects of specific individual factors. Optimism, burnout and secondary traumatic stress, but not coping strategies, self-efficacy, compassion satisfaction, or self-compassion, mediated both the relationship between pre-pandemic…
Parent-Adolescent Communication as a Protective Factor Against Adolescent Alcohol and Tobacco Use: Reported Narratives From Youth From Latinx Farmworker Families
Due to high stressors and inequities, youth from Latinx migrant farmworker (LMFW) families may experience an elevated risk of early drinking and smoking. Parent-adolescent communication can protect against early initiation, but few researchers have explored this parenting practice in LMFW families. This qualitative study used youth-reported narratives to examine messages LMFW parents convey when discussing drinking and smoking, if these messages …
Relations of positive parenting, effortful control, and resilience in rural Midwestern Latinx early adolescents
Developmental antecedents of adolescent optimism in rural midwestern U.S. Latinx youth
AIMS: Decades of scientific research have found optimism to have wide-ranging effects on individuals' health and well-being. Researchers have largely examined optimism in adults, but have begun addressing the benefits of optimism in adolescents. Challenges and stressors in adolescence can threaten youths' subjective well-being; therefore, identifying factors that contribute to the growth of optimism could have important health implications. Howev…
Family support and mental health of Latinx children in migrant farmworker families
Our mixed-method study examined the mental health of Latinx children in migrant farmworker (LMFW) families, assessed whether acculturative stressors contributed to mental health problems, and examined whether family warmth and support counteracted the negative effects of acculturative stressors on mental health. Participants were children aged 6–18 (N = 80, mean age = 11.71, 55% male) participating in two summer Migrant Education Programs in Indi…
Parental restrictive feeding with Latinx adolescents: Examining the role of adolescent effortful control
Executive function, dispositional resilience, and cognitive engagement in Latinx children of migrant farmworkers
A mixed‐method examination of ego‐resiliency, adjustment problems, and academic engagement in children of Latino migrant farmworkers
Children from Latino migrant farmworker (LMFW) families are one of the most educationally disenfranchised and marginalized populations of students in the United States. These children face similar disadvantages to other low‐income immigrant families, but often experience unique contextual stressors due to high mobility that places them at high risk for mental health problems, risk‐taking behaviors, and poor academic engagement. Despite these high…
Associations Between Effortful Control, Cortisol Awakening Response, and Depressive Problems in Latino Preadolescents
The present study examined associations between effortful control, a trait marker of self-regulation, adaptive HPA system functioning (as reflected by the CAR), and concurrent and longitudinal depressive problems, in a sample of preadolescent Latino youth ( N = 119, mean age = 11.53 years, 59% female). We hypothesized that trait readiness for self-regulation (e.g., effortful control) could be related to physiological state readiness for self-regu…
Familism, Interparental Conflict, and Parenting in Mexican-Origin Families: A Cultural-Contextual Framework
The present investigation examined the relations between the cultural belief of familism and various aspects of family functioning and child adjustment, including interparental conflict, parenting, and children's attachment to school, in a sample of 549 two-parent Mexican-origin families. The results indicated that parents' familistic values were negatively associated with interparental conflict for both mothers and fathers. Parents' familistic v…
Contextual stressors and the mental health outcomes of Latino children in rural migrant-farmworker families in the midwest
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia, effortful control, and parenting as predictors of children’s sympathy across early childhood
The goal of this study was to examine physiological and environmental predictors of children's sympathy (an emotional response consisting of feelings of concern or sorrow for others who are distressed or in need) and whether temperamental effortful control mediated these relations. Specifically, in a study of 192 children (23% Hispanic; 54% male), respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), a measure thought to reflect physiological regulation, and obser…
Parenting practices and perceived social support: Longitudinal relations with the social competence of Mexican-origin children
Social bonds and supportive relationships are widely recognized as being indispensable to healthy psychological functioning and well-being. Social support is a psychological resource that is expected to also contribute positively to parenting practices. The present study longitudinally examined the relations between mothers' ( N = 674) and fathers' ( N = 430) perceived social support and parenting behaviors, and their relations with children's so…

Longitudinal Relations of Economic Hardship and Effortful Control to Active Coping in Latino Youth
How Latino youth cope with stressors may have implications for their adjustment. We examined how a temperamental characteristic (effortful control) and a contextual factor (economic hardship) were associated with Latino youth's coping. Individual differences in effortful control, a core facet of self-regulation, may contribute to coping as effortful control is consistently linked to adaptive behaviors during adolescence. We examined relations of …

Effortful control as a mediator between contextual stressors and adjustment in Midwestern Latino youth
Cumulative Family Stress and Diurnal Cortisol Responses in Midwest Latino Families
Latino youth and their families have been shown to experience higher levels of stressors than the general population, as well as additional unique stressors such as racism, poverty, acculturation, and discrimination. Chronic or cumulative stress often disrupts physiological systems and can lead to dysregulation in diurnal cortisol responses. This study examined the associations between family stress and cortisol responses in 57 Latino mother-adol…

Transitioning From High School to College: Relations of Social Support, Ego-Resiliency, and Maladjustment During Emerging Adulthood
During the transition from high school to college, youths navigate increasingly adult roles, take on new academic and economic responsibilities, and forge new social networks. We examined longitudinal relations among internalizing symptoms (depression and anxiety), perceived social support, and the personality trait of ego-resiliency across three time points at the end of high school and during the first year of college ( N = 82). Internalizing s…
Children’s negative emotions and ego-resiliency: Longitudinal relations with social competence
We examined the relations of negative emotions in toddlerhood to the development of ego-resiliency and social competence across early childhood. Specifically, we addressed whether fear and anger/frustration in 30-month-old children (N = 213) was associated with the development of ego-resiliency across 4 time points (42 to 84 months), and, in turn, whether ego-resiliency predicted social competence at 84 months. Child anger/frustration negatively …
The relations of ego-resiliency and emotion socialization to the development of empathy and prosocial behavior across early childhood
The present study explored early personality and environmental predictors of the development of young children's empathy, as well as relations of empathy to prosocial behavior with peers at a later age. How children manage their own emotions and behaviors when under stress--their ego-resiliency--would be expected to affect their responses to others' emotions. Also, socialization experiences, such as the quality of parenting behaviors, have been a…
Parents' Optimism, Positive Parenting, and Child Peer Competence in Mexican-Origin Families
Results are consistent with the hypothesis that positive parenting is promoted by parents' optimism and is a proximal driver of child social competence. Parental optimism moderates effects of parenting on child outcomes
Development of Ego‐resiliency: Relations to Observed Parenting and Polymorphisms in the Serotonin Transporter Gene During Early Childhood
We used observed parenting behaviors, along with genetic variants and haplotypes of the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4), as predictors of children's ego-resiliency during early childhood ( N =153). Quality of mothers' parenting was observed at 18 months of age and mothers' reports of ego-resiliency were collected at six time points from 18 to 84 months. Genetic data were collected at 72 months. Observed parenting was positively associated wit…

Promoting Strengths and Resilience in Single-Mother Families
Mothering can be particularly demanding for single women who are more vulnerable to a variety of risks ranging from economic hardship to poor psychological functioning. These risks place their children at higher risk of experiencing maladjustment. Examining factors that contribute to the well-being of single mothers and, in turn, their parenting may be one of the most effective ways of contributing to children's adjustment. This article highlight…
