Trends in trauma
The last 10 years of scientific research analyzing asylum-seekers’ mental health has established high rates of trauma exposure throughout the migratory trajectory. However, limited studies have identified gender-based violence among Central American asylum-seeking women. The purpose of this study was to identify the frequencies of gendered-base violence among asylum-seeking women from Central and South America at a humanitarian respite center (US…
Types of traumatic experiences and cultural values associated with posttraumatic stress in recently immigrated asylum‐seekers from Central America
Asylum‐seeking immigrants from Central America experience high prevalence rates of traumatic experiences and posttraumatic stress (PTS). Nonetheless, it is unknown how each type of trauma correlates uniquely to PTS variance and how cultural values may uniquely lower PTS. The present study hypothesized that, after controlling for demographics, (1) general trauma/natural disasters would be the strongest trauma‐type correlates to PTS, and (2) religi…
Personality and Acculturation as Predictors of Self-harm Behaviors in Latinx Young Adults
A Comparison of Psychological Stress and Sleep Problems in Undocumented Students, Daca Recipients, and U.S. Citizens
A Cross-sectional Study of the Mental Health Symptoms of Latin American, US Hispanic, and Spanish College Students Amid the Covid-19 Pandemic
Getting by with a Little Help from Our Friends
This study examines how social support and perceived discrimination influence depressive symptoms of sexual minorities (including, lesbian, gay, bisexual-identifying individuals, and others with same-sex sexual partners) relative to heterosexual peers, while considering the role of HIV-positive status. We surveyed low-income, predominantly Hispanic/Latino/as residents receiving STI-testing and/or HIV/AIDS care in the lower Rio Grande Valley of so…
Why Are Trial-by-Trial, Strength-Based Criterion Shifts Hard to Observe? Is the Difficulty in the Mental Process Itself or in the Typical Cued Criterion Method
In the cued criterion recognition paradigm (Stretch & Wixted, 1998b), trial-by-trial memory strength-based criterion shifts have been an elusive phenomenon. Often the criterion shifts do not occur. We suggest that the frequent failure in making criterion shifts in the literature is caused by participants’ failure to understand the rationale of the task as typically presented in an abstract format. In this study, participants studied words once or…
Why seemingly more difficult test conditions produce more accurate recognition of semantic prototype words
Hélène Périvier, Rachel Silvera, Maudite conciliation
Voici donc la raison pour laquelle la conciliation entre vie professionnelle et vie familiale demeure encore hors d'atteinte après des décennies d'efforts et de tentatives dans plusieurs pays : elle est maudite! Sous ce clin d'oeil, les coordonnatrices de ce dossier essentiellement descriptif et éclectique énoncent le fil conducteur des cinq contributions qui présentent des avancées et obstacles en matière de conciliation travail-famille, sous l'…
