Online Racial Discrimination and College Student Mental Health

As COVID-19 has brought about increased reliance on virtual spaces, increased online racial discrimination (ORD) has also become a more prevalent issue. ORD may be defined as online behaviors that demean or marginalize individuals or groups based on race. It may occur on social media, through text messaging, online videos/games, and/or online…
Profiles of Asian American parent‐ and adolescent‐reported ethnic‐racial socialization
Ethnic–racial socialization (ERS), the communication of parent worldviews about race and ethnicity to children, is important for youth development. Most research only examines parent or youth reports of these socialization practices in isolation, and few have focused on Asian American families. The present study addresses these gaps, incorporating both parent and youth reports of ethnic–racial socialization practices in Asian American families. P…

Cultural adaptation of youth mental health first aid training for Asian American parents
Although often portrayed as “model minorities,” many Asian American adolescents struggle with mental health problems. Asian American youth are also less likely to receive school-based mental health services (SBMHS) compared with their non-Asian peers. Culturally adapting the Youth Mental Health Fist Aid (YMHFA) training program can be an effective way to engage Asian American parents to utilize SBMHS. Although many school districts have offered Y…
More friends or good friends? The moderation effect of friendship on the relations between victimization, emotional resilience, and depression in early adolescence
This study sought to examine whether emotional resilience mediated the relation between victimization and depression, and whether friendship (quality and quantity) and gender moderated these relations among middle school students in China. Data were collected from 765 middle school students (seventh and eighth graders, Mage = 13.14 years) from three middle schools in Beijing, China in November 2019 (T1) and November 2020 (T2). Results showed that…

Results indicated that th…
Bullying prevention training for Chinese preservice teachers' efficacy and beliefs toward bullying
Bullying is prevalent in many schools worldwide. Providing bullying prevention training to preservice teachers can make a significant difference in preventing school bullying. There is a lack of training in bullying prevention for preservice teachers in China, and the effectiveness of such training for bullying prevention has not yet been established. The present study examined the effectiveness of bullying prevention training on antibullying sel…

Asian Americans’ racial discrimination experiences during Covid-19
Using a cross-sectional survey design, we examined whether social support was a stress buffer against direct online and vicarious general racial discrimination for 218 Asian/Asian American college students in the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, and whether the buffering effect depended on external locus of control (external LOC). An alarming percentage of Asian/Asian American students reported direct online (58.7%) and vicarious racial disc…

The Critical Role of School Climate in Effective Bullying Prevention
Research has shown a negative association between positive school climate and bullying behavior. This article reviews research on school climate and bullying behavior and proposes that an unhealthy and unsupportive school climate (e.g., negative relationship between teachers and students, positive attitudes towards bullying) provides a social context that allows bullying behavior to occur. We provide information on how to evaluate the school clim…
Individualism, collectivism, and Chinese adolescents' aggression
This study examined the relations between cultural values (i.e., individualism and collectivism) and aggression among 460 (234 girls) Chinese adolescents. Conflict level and social status insecurity were examined as potential explaining mechanisms for these relations. The results showed that adolescents' endorsement of collectivism was negatively related to their use of overt and relational aggression as reported by teachers and peers, whereas po…

Reducing Bullying
Social cognitive theory (SCT) is an important heuristic for understanding the complexity of bullying behaviors and the social nature of involvement in bullying. Bullying has been heralded as a social relationship problem, and the interplay between the individual and his or her social environment supports this conceptualization. SCT has been used to help guide the development of an individualized intervention for bully perpetrators, which will be …
Parenting Behaviors, Adolescent Depressive Symptoms, and Problem Behavior
Cross-sectional data from 589 Chinese adolescents were used to investigate whether parenting behaviors are directly or indirectly (through self-esteem and school adjustment difficulties) associated with adolescent depressive symptoms and problem behavior. Structural equation modeling results showed that school adjustment difficulties fully mediated the relations between two parenting behaviors (parental punitiveness and paternal monitoring) and a…
Impostor Feelings and Psychological Distress Among Asian Americans
We examined how the association between impostor feelings and psychological distress was mediated by interpersonal shame and moderated by self-compassion in a sample of 433 Asian American students at an East Coast public university. First, we found that the positive association between impostor feelings and psychological distress was partially mediated by interpersonal shame (i.e., shame related to others viewing them negatively or dishonoring th…
