Everyday ethnic discrimination and early substance use based on hair samples in high-risk racial/ethnic minority early adolescents
Experiencing ethnic discrimination from teachers, and possibly other adults outside of school, is a significant risk factor for early substance use. Interventions should address teacher- and adult-perpetrated discrimination to reduce the risk of early substance use. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)

Sexual Minority Identity and Risky Alcohol Use
Adolescent health and the intersectionality of ethnicity/race, sex, and sexual orientation
Although children with marginalized sociodemographic characteristics are exposed to increased health risk and disparities, there is a paucity of population-based research on health status of children occupying multiple social marginalities. The present study investigated implications of children's intersectional sociodemographic characteristics on health risk indicators. In this longitudinal cohort study, we used longitudinal data from the ongoin…
Racial Disparities in Sleep Among Diverse Young Adults During the First Semester of College
This study investigated patterns of disparities in sleep during the first semester of college, focusing on several dimensions of sleep and using multiple methods. Ethnically and racially diverse first-year college students (n = 635; Asian = 20%, Black = 12%, Latinx = 20%, multiracial = 23%, White = 25%; female = 73%, male = 25%, non-binary = 2%) completed a baseline survey, 14 daily diaries, and wore wrist actigraphs in their first semester at co…
Sexual Orientation-Based Victimization and Internalized Homonegativity Among Latinx Sexual Minority Youth
Latinx sexual minority adolescents and young adults experience sexual orientation-based victimization at school and may internalize these heterosexist experiences. However, social support may buffer the deleterious contributions of sexual orientation-based victimization. The current study explored associations between sexual orientation-based victimization and internalized homonegativity in different social contexts (family, peer, school adult) a…
Measuring Allyship

In particular, this study sought to investigate the psychometric properties for two adapted measures: the Ally Identity Scale-Athletic Staff Version and the Engagement in LGBTQ Ally Actions in Sports Scale-Athletic Staff Version. These measures could provide a means to assess t…
Changes in familial discussions among East Asian American families during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
Awareness and equity of behavioral sacrifice and same‐sex relationship quality
Intergenerational relationships and marriage in China
Marriage is embedded in the web of spouses' broader social ties, and relationship quality with parents and parents‐in‐law is associated with marital quality. Guided by Family Systems theory and using three waves of dyadic data from 268 Chinese different‐sex couples across the first several years of marriage, we first conducted a Random‐Intercept Actor‐Partner Interdependence Cross‐lagged Panel Model (RI‐APIM‐CLPM) to examine the within‐family lon…
Everyday Discrimination and Sleep Among Migrant and Non-migrant Filipinos
Heterosexist discrimination and relational sacrifice of same‐sex couples
Drawing on the family stress process model and using data from 141 same‐sex couples ( N = 282 partners), we examined associations between heterosexist discrimination and relational sacrifices (i.e., willingness and behaviors). We also examined the moderating roles of both partners' internalized homophobia and state‐level liberalism on same‐sex marriage legalization. Actor‐partner interdependence moderation models were conducted. Most of our findi…
Profiles of identity and discrimination and the psychological, health, and academic outcomes of Korean ethnic minority youth in China
Korean Chinese is one of the 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities in China. The protective effects of strong bicultural (ethnic and national) identities and the detrimental effects of ethnic discrimination on adjustment outcomes are well documented for ethnic minority youth in W.E.I.R.D. societies. Yet, ethnic minority youth in non-W.E.I.R.D. societies, such as Korean Chinese, may experience a unique form of discrimination-national discrimi…
Racial‐ethnic socialization, racial discrimination, and internalization of the model minority myth in East Asian families
Guided by the integrative model, this study investigated the moderating effect of East Asian American youth-reported (N = 143) racial-ethnic socialization (RES) in the relationship between the youth's experiences of discrimination and internalization of the model minority myth. The results suggest that there was a significant interaction between youth's racial discrimination and youth-reported awareness of discrimination on youth's internalizatio…
Predictors of Disclosing Sexual Orientation to Parents, Classmates, and School Adults among Latinx Sexual Minority High School and College Youth
The current study examined predictors associated with the degree of sexual orientation disclosure across social contexts (parents, classmates, and school adults) and educational context (high school and college) among Latinx sexual minority youth (SMY; N = 238). Results revealed that perceptions of more supportive social attitudes to sexual minority communities were associated with higher levels of sexual orientation disclosure across social cont…
Sexual orientation disclosure to classmates among Latinx sexual minority high school and college youth
This study examined how minority stressors mediate the association between sexual orientation disclosure to classmates and well-being in a sample of 238 Latinx sexual minority youth (SMY; age range: 14-24 years). Results indicated that sexual orientation disclosure to classmates was associated with higher levels of sexual orientation-based victimization, which contributed to higher levels of internalized homonegativity, which ultimately contribut…
Relationships Among Helicopter Parenting, Self-Efficacy, and Academic Outcome in American and South Korean College Students
Although numerous studies have examined the role of helicopter parenting in child outcomes, there is little empirical cross-cultural research on the academic outcomes of helicopter parenting for late adolescents. This study investigated the differences in the association between mothers' and fathers' helicopter parenting and college students' ( N = 343) academic outcomes across American and South Korean contexts, examining the role of self-effica…
